    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104886
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim decision to delay certain penalties for the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) in California. The delay is because the MDAQMD has updated Rule 1157 to fix issues related to controlling nitrogen oxide emissions. This decision means relief from penalties, initially triggered by EPA's limited disapproval in 2023, may become permanent if the amendments are fully approved following public comments. The EPA is allowing the public to comment on this decision until January 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is saying "pause" to the penalties they wanted to give a part of California for not cleaning up the air properly. They might skip the penalties for good if the fixes they promised work well and everyone agrees.

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.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has decided to pause punishment for air pollution in the Sacramento area because they think the air has gotten cleaner by the end of 2024. They want to hear what people think about this decision until April 21, 2025.
