    Citation:86 FR 11878
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved changes to North Carolina's State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning air quality permits. These changes, submitted by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality in 2019, add two types of minor source permits to those requiring public participation and make some minor corrections. The revisions are aimed at enhancing public involvement in environmental decision-making and ensuring compliance with the Clean Air Act. This approval is effective as of March 31, 2021, and does not impose additional federal requirements beyond those of state law.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has agreed to changes in North Carolina's air rules to let more people give input before some small factory air permits are given out, and they fixed some small mistakes, but didn't change any big rules.
