The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve changes to Ohio's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for nitrogen oxide standards. These changes were submitted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on November 4, 2024, and include minor updates to the language and referenced materials in the rules. The goal of these revisions is to help Ohio meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for nitrogen dioxide. Public comments on this proposal are welcome until January 29, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to approve some small changes to rules in Ohio that help keep the air clean from bad stuff called nitrogen oxides. They think everything is fine with the changes and are asking people if they have any thoughts on it until the end of January 2025.
