Pennsylvania Climate Change Action Plan

[39 Pa.B. 5988]
[Saturday, October 10, 2009]

 On behalf of Governor Edward G. Rendell, Secretary Hanger announces that on October 10, 2009, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is releasing Pennsylvania's Climate Change Action Plan (Plan) for a 30-day public comment period. A copy of the Plan can be found at http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/enrgy/cwp/view.asp?a=1532&q=539829.

 Pennsylvania is responsible for 1% of the planets man-made greenhouse emissions. On July 9, 2008, Governor Rendell signed the Pennsylvania Climate Change Act (Act 70). Among a number of goals, Act 70 required the preparation of this report. Working with the Climate Change Advisory Committee the Department has prepared this Climate Change Action Report. The report identifies 52 specific actions that would result in a 95.6 Million Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MMtCO2e) reduction of Pennsylvania's greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.

 Interested persons may submit written comments on Plan by November 9, 2009. The Department will accept comments submitted by mail or by e-mail. A return name and address must be included in each e-mail transmission. E-mail comments should be submitted to epclimatereportcomments@state.pa.us. Written comments should be submitted to Joseph Sherrick, by means of the USPS to the Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105. The Department will not accept comments submitted by facsimile.

 Questions regarding the Plan should be directed to Joseph Sherrick at josherrick@state.pa.us or Kim Hoover at khoover@state.pa.us or (717) 772-8911.

 Persons in need of accommodations as provided for the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact Angela Rothrock at (717) 772-8911 or through the Penn-sylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
