The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening the comment period for a proposed rule that was initially published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2020. This involves the approval of a state implementation plan (SIP) revision from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection concerning air quality standards for ozone in the Youngstown-Warren-Sharon area. The comment period is being reopened for an additional 15 days, until March 16, 2021, because a commenter had difficulties obtaining information from the EPA during the original comment period. The EPA is inviting stakeholders to review the proposal and submit their comments within the extended timeframe.
Simple Explanation
The EPA is giving people more time to share their thoughts about a plan to keep the air clean in an area that includes parts of Pennsylvania. They are doing this because someone couldn't get the information they needed in time to comment before.
