The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made an interim final decision regarding changes made to air quality management rules by the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District in California. The EPA's decision temporarily halts certain penalties and delays others that were set in motion due to earlier disapproval of these rules on July 3, 2023. The decision follows revisions aimed at fixing previous shortcomings, and the public is allowed to comment by April 25, 2025. If no further issues are found, all related sanctions will be fully lifted.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to six rules and is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval for one rule submitted by the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) as part of California's State Implementation Plan. These revisions concern the District's New Source Review permitting program for handling air pollution. The proposal aims to address previously identified deficiencies and update existing regulations, with the goal of preventing federal sanctions and ensuring compliance with air quality standards. The public is invited to comment on this proposal until April 25, 2025.
