Pennsylvania has rolled out a state-specific mercury reduction proposal designed to protect and grow a market share for Pennsylvania's bituminous coal.

The rule also preserves market share for bituminous coal by presuming compliance for electric generating units that burn 100 percent bituminous coal with advanced air control technologies.
