The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a request from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) to update the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) by revising the reference to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) from the 2018 edition to the 2022 edition. This change is meant to keep Indiana's regulations in sync with the current federal standards. The decision, effective January 27, 2025, received no negative feedback during the public comment period. The rule does not impose additional requirements and is consistent with existing federal regulations.
Simple Explanation
The EPA says Indiana can change how it keeps its rules up-to-date with new U.S. laws by switching to a newer book of rules called the Code of Federal Regulations. This makes sure Indiana follows the latest rules without changing anything else.
