  • 2021-02535 — Air Plan Approval; New Hampshire; Sulfur Content Limitations for Fuels
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8566
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes approving New Hampshire's updated sulfur content standards for fuels, replacing older regulations. This revision, submitted on March 11, 2019, aims to lower sulfur limits in liquid and solid fuels, improving air quality and aligning with state law changes. Notably, the regulation allows temporary deferrals of sulfur limits during fuel shortages, provided conditions are met, and requires EPA notification. Public comments on the proposal are invited until March 10, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to change how much sulfur is allowed in fuels in New Hampshire to help clean the air. This means less stinky stuff in the air but sometimes, if there's not enough fuel, they might let it slide a little.

  • 2024-30734 — Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Nitrogen Oxide Standards Rules
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 106330
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving updates to Ohio's State Implementation Plan for nitrogen oxide standards. These updates were submitted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and involve minor changes to rule language and references to make them more current and accurate. The EPA sees these changes as noncontroversial and has decided to issue a direct final rule, which will take effect on February 28, 2025, unless negative feedback is received by January 29, 2025. If adverse comments are received, the rule will be withdrawn and addressed in a future proposal.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is saying yes to some small updates that Ohio wants to make for keeping air clean from a nasty gas. If no one complains by January 29, 2025, the updates will start working at the end of February 2025, but if people do complain, they'll wait and think about it some more.
