    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 283
    Reading Time:about 45 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve elements of Ohio’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) for improving air quality in the Cleveland area to meet the 2015 ozone standard. The elements include a 2017 base year emissions inventory, a plan demonstrating reasonable further progress (RFP), a motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program, and a review process for new sources of air pollution. The EPA is also starting the process to approve the 2023 motor vehicle emissions budgets, which set limits on emissions from transportation sources to ensure they conform with air quality goals. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until February 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is like a big helper making sure the air is clean to breathe, and they're making a plan with Ohio to keep the air in Cleveland nice and healthy. They want people to check their cars to make sure they're not making the air dirty, and they're checking on new places that might cause pollution too.

  • 2025-01215 — Interim Final Determination To Defer Sanctions, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 6809
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing that they have temporarily decided not to enforce penalties against the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District in California. This decision comes after the California Air Resources Board submitted a plan aiming to fix issues in the district's air pollution permit program. Although initial problems led to the EPA disapproving a district rule in 2023, the current plan addresses most issues, prompting the EPA to delay penalties while considering the public's comments. The EPA is using a special process to make this determination quickly because they believe it's in the public's best interest.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has decided to pause punishments for a California area because they believe the area is fixing the problems in how they handle air pollution permits, but they still want to hear from people before making a final choice.
