  • 2025-00115 — Air Plan Revisions; Arizona; Arizona Department of Environmental Quality
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5790
    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering new rules to manage air pollution related to particulate matter from farming activities in Arizona, specifically in Pinal County. They are proposing to approve a state plan, but with some conditions, as certain parts are not enforceable enough. This decision means the EPA supports parts of the Arizona plan but is also suggesting that some rules need further improvement. Public comments on these proposals can be submitted until February 18, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to make sure farms in Arizona are keeping the air clean, but they think Arizona's plan to do this is mostly good with some parts that need fixing. They want people to tell them what they think of these ideas by February 18, 2025.

    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 2615
    Reading Time:less than a minute

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made a correction to a proposed rule document related to emissions from solvent cleanup operations in Missouri. In the original document, which appeared on December 21, 2020, there was a date error. The DATES section on page 82995 incorrectly stated "January 20, 2021," which has been corrected to "January 21, 2021." This correction ensures that the intended timeline is accurately reflected.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA noticed a tiny mistake in their paperwork about cleaning up certain air pollutants in Missouri, and they fixed it by changing a date from January 20 to January 21. This correction helps everyone know exactly when things are supposed to happen.

Under this proposal, affected facilities must provide initial and semiannual reports to verify compliance with established standards, with an estimated burden of 628 hours annually per respondent. Public comments on this matter are being accepted until March 31, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

  • 2024-30695 — Air Plan Approval; Revisions to Colorado Common Provisions Regulation
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105461
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved changes to Colorado's State Implementation Plan (SIP) regulations, which were submitted after the EPA identified issues in the state’s handling of extra emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events. These changes remove certain provisions from the SIP, making them state-only, and align with federal requirements under the Clean Air Act. While the action aims to improve air quality, it does not require an environmental justice analysis. The rule takes effect on January 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is saying that Colorado fixed some air pollution rules to make sure they match national rules better, and starting January 2025, everyone has to follow these new rules. They didn't check how this change affects people who don't have a lot of money or belong to minority groups, but they believe it will help make the air cleaner.
