The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is planning to renew its information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act, with a focus on pollution prevention and control in offshore oil and gas activities. The agency is seeking public comments on this information collection, which primarily concerns air quality standards compliance and the reporting of emissions. To streamline and improve this process, BOEM is introducing a new system, the OCS Air Quality System (OCS AQS), to replace outdated software. The public has until February 11, 2021, to submit comments, which will help BOEM minimize the reporting burden while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a change to Indiana's State Implementation Plan (SIP). This change involves updating Indiana's rules on emissions reporting to match the requirements set by the Clean Air Act. The new rule will require businesses in Clark and Floyd counties, which have high levels of air pollution, to report their emissions annually. Meanwhile, Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County and LaPorte County will no longer have to report emissions since they have met previous air quality standards.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved changes to North Carolina's State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on July 10, 2019. This approval removes the need for certain facilities to report annual emissions in areas now meeting older ozone standards but keeps the reporting requirement in place for the 2008 ozone standards. The adjustments update the start year for emissions reporting and make minor edits to the regulation. EPA's decision is based on these changes meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
