The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made an interim final decision to pause and delay imposing sanctions on the Sacramento Metro area under the Clean Air Act. This decision is based on a preliminary finding that the area has met the 2008 standard for ozone levels by the specified deadline of December 31, 2024. The public can submit comments on this decision until April 21, 2025. If the final decision confirms the area's attainment of air quality standards, previous sanctions will be lifted.
