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.
