    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.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a change to Indiana's State Implementation Plan (SIP). This change involves updating Indiana's rules on emissions reporting to match the requirements set by the Clean Air Act. The new rule will require businesses in Clark and Floyd counties, which have high levels of air pollution, to report their emissions annually. Meanwhile, Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County and LaPorte County will no longer have to report emissions since they have met previous air quality standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to update the rules in Indiana so that companies in two areas with dirty air have to report how much pollution they make each year, while two other areas that are already clean no longer have to report.
