New York, NY, September 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, has announced today that Patricia F.

Event Synopsis:
The US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new Greenhouse Gas Rule is set to take effect in 2011, under the U.S. Clean Air Act. The final rules are expected to enforce pollution limits on large industrial facilities, therefore regulating the major emitters of greenhouse gases.
There has been wide speculation that the EPA is using the Clean Air Act in an attempt to enforce a back door solution to the stalled Cap and Trade regulation. Regardless, this rule could potentially have a huge impact on your ability to conduct business and you better know how to successfully comply or face some serious consequences.
