A number of other cap‐and‐trade programs have been initiated by the states. In California, the 1994 Regional Clean Air Incentives Program (RECLAIM) was one of the first programs to be implemented by a state (Lents and Leyden 1996). It established emission reduction targets for SO₂ and NO_x, along with detailed protocols similar to those of Part 75. RECLAIM was discontinued in 2018; however, California currently participates in a Western Climate Initiative (WCI) CO₂ trading program. The northeastern U.S. states participate in the Regional Green House Gas Initiative (RGGI) CO₂ trading program.

A local trading program is active in the Houston‐Galveston area, where the numerous petroleum refineries and chemical companies have made it difficult to meet ambient air standard for ozone.

Here, the “Highly Reactive Volatile Organic Carbon (HRVOC)” cap‐and‐trade program requires the continuous monitoring of speciated volatile organic compounds, precursors to ozone formation. Flares, process vents, cooling towers, and fugitive emissions are affected by the program.
