  • 2024-31028 — Air Plan Revisions; Arizona; Maricopa County Air Quality Department
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1903
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing a rule regarding air quality standards in Arizona's Maricopa County. The rule involves a mix of limited approval and disapproval concerning revisions to rules about emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from loading organic liquids and gasoline. Though some rules improve the state's plan and meet the Clean Air Act standards, others are deficient, requiring Arizona to make corrections. If not corrected within two years, federal sanctions may be imposed.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is giving a mix of thumbs up and thumbs down to some rules about air pollution in Maricopa County, Arizona, because some bits are okay, but others need fixing. If Arizona doesn't fix the problems in two years, it might get in trouble.

  • 2025-00433 — Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction; Partial Withdrawals of Findings of Failure To Submit State Implementation Plan (SIP)
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1903
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a rule from November 26, 2024, after receiving negative feedback. This rule involved partially withdrawing previous actions against 13 states and local air pollution agencies that had not updated their State Implementation Plans as required by the Clean Air Act. These updates were needed to address issues identified by the EPA in 2015 related to excess emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction periods. The EPA plans to consider all feedback in a new final rule but will not allow additional comments during that process.

    Simple Explanation

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) changed its mind about a rule because some people didn't like it. The rule was about making sure states do a good job stopping extra pollution when factories start or stop working.
