The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice on January 15, 2025, responding to two petitions for reconsideration regarding the "New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions" rules for fossil fuel-fired power plants. The EPA reviewed the requests but decided to deny or partially deny them, with detailed reasons provided in a decision document. This decision keeps the existing standards in place. Individuals or organizations wishing to challenge this decision must file in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by March 17, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The EPA decided to keep some rules for power plants that produce smoke, like when you burn coal or gas, after some people asked them to think about changing these rules. If anyone wants to ask a court to look at this decision, they have to do it by March 17, 2025.
