The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a rule approving parts of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) from Kansas. This plan addresses the requirements for implementing, maintaining, and enforcing the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard under the Clean Air Act. The approved elements ensure adequate air quality management in Kansas and support the prevention of significant air quality deterioration. The EPA also clarified previous errors in the proposed rule regarding submission dates and content related to interstate pollution transport requirements.
Simple Explanation
The EPA is saying yes to some new rules from Kansas about keeping the air clean and fresh. They also fixed some mistakes about when Kansas sent these plans, like saying it was a different date than it really was.
