    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given final approval for revisions to parts of the California State Implementation Plan concerning emissions statements for the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards. This includes recognizing that certain areas in California, like Tuscan Buttes and San Diego County, now meet these requirements. The revised rules will become effective on April 17, 2025, replacing previous versions. The EPA also notes that this action is a federal endorsement of state-level decisions and does not impose additional federal requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has approved changes to air pollution rules for some parts of California, meaning those areas are now following the new air quality rules just like they should. These new rules will start working on April 17, 2025, and it's like giving a big thumbs-up to California's decisions without adding any extra work from the federal side.

    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs approved the Shawnee Tribe's new leasing regulations under the HEARTH Act, allowing them to lease their lands for various purposes like business, educational, and cultural activities without needing further approval from the Secretary of the Interior. This approval aims to give tribes more control over their lands and help them develop their economies. The rules also state that state and local taxes cannot be applied to improvements or activities on these lands, although the Shawnee Tribe might levy their own taxes. The Federal Government continues to support the tribes in managing and monitoring these leases.

    Simple Explanation

    The government said the Shawnee Tribe can decide how to use their land, like for schools or businesses, without asking again. They don’t have to pay local taxes on these lands, but they can make their own rules about taxes.
