MOU

Memorandum of Understanding

On December 20, 2005, seven states announced an agreement to implement the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, as outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which outlines the framework for a Model Rule.  The MOU was signed by the Governors of the participating states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont.

In response to public comments on the Model Rule, the states agreed to substantive amendments to the MOU. Those amendments were signed by the agency heads of the energy regulatory and environmental agencies in each participating state.
