    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) under the Clean Air Act for the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District in California. This new rule includes stricter guidelines for New Source Review (NSR) in nonattainment areas where air quality standards are not met. The FIP aims to regulate the construction of new major sources and modifications of existing sources, addressing deficiencies in the existing Mojave Desert program. An important aspect of this rule is the EPA's disapproval of a Mojave Desert District rule regarding emissions offsets, following a court decision questioning the EPA's previous approval of that rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA made new rules to make the air cleaner in the Mojave Desert because the air there isn't healthy enough, and they decided one of the old rules wasn't good, so they changed it.

  • 2021-02537 — Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Regulations To Limit Premises-Wide Actual and Potential Emissions From Major Stationary Sources of Air Pollution
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8574
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to Connecticut's State Implementation Plan (SIP). This update introduces state regulations designed to limit emissions from major stationary sources, helping them stay below specific environmental thresholds. By adhering to these limits, eligible sources could avoid having to meet certain strict requirements usually imposed on larger pollution sources. The proposed rule is being evaluated to ensure it aligns with the Clean Air Act, and public comments are invited before a final decision is made.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is thinking about saying yes to a plan from Connecticut that wants to make big factories and places pump out less pollution. If these places stick to the plan, they might not have to follow some of the tougher rules meant for super big polluters.
