The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve changes made by Delaware to its regulations on the Mobile Equipment Repair and Refinishing (MERR) rule. These changes align Delaware's rules with the Ozone Transport Commission's (OTC) updated standards for limiting volatile organic compounds (VOC) in vehicle refinishing products and methods. The updated rules aim to reduce VOC emissions, making Delaware's air quality management plan stronger and federally enforceable. Public comments on this proposal are invited before a final decision is made.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to help Delaware make their car painting rules cleaner by following new standards, which can help the air stay healthier. They also want to hear what people think about these changes before deciding if they should approve them.
