  • 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 If adverse comments are received, the rule will be withdrawn and addressed in a future proposal.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.

  • 2025-00968 — Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Withdrawal of Technical Amendment
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 6811
    Reading Time:about 67 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reversing its previous decision from November 2020 and reinstating Ohio's Air Nuisance Rule (ANR) into the State Implementation Plan (SIP). This change follows a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit which highlighted errors in how the EPA handled the removal. The EPA has acknowledged that the ANR plays an important role in meeting clean air standards in Ohio and did not properly evaluate its significance in reducing pollution. This decision is meant to align with the Clean Air Act's goals of maintaining and enforcing national air quality standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA decided to fix its past mistake and put back a rule in Ohio that helps keep the air clean, after some judges said taking it away might have been wrong. This means Ohio will have that rule again to help make sure the air is nice and fresh.
