    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the State of Washington's State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions, ensuring they meet specific infrastructure requirements for air quality standards set in 2010 and 2015, particularly for sulfur dioxide and ozone. Despite some administrative issues and adverse public comments regarding resources and funding, the EPA found Washington's SIP compliant with necessary requirements. The rule, which does not impose additional federal requirements, will be effective on March 22, 2021. The SIP approval mainly applies to non-trust lands within specific Indian reservation areas as outlined by federal law.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule determining that the St. Clair, Michigan area met the 2010 sulfur dioxide (SOâ‚‚) national ambient air quality standards by September 12, 2021.

This action, effective January 27, 2025, does not create new requirements or significantly impact small entities.

    Simple Explanation
