    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve updates to a rule that manages emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from graphic arts printing operations in the Yolo-Solano area of California. This update aims to ensure that the local rule is in line with the Clean Air Act and helps reduce pollution that contributes to smog and poor air quality. The EPA is inviting public comments on this proposal until March 29, 2021, and plans to incorporate this new rule into the federal plan when finalized. The proposed rule does not impose additional requirements but seeks to align state and federal standards.
