    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a change to Ohio's state plan for controlling air pollution. This change involves a specific part of Ohio law that allows an installation permit to be extended beyond its initial expiration if it is being appealed by someone other than the owner or operator. The extension period will be the original expiration date plus the time taken to resolve the appeal. The EPA has found that this proposal aligns with federal guidelines and does not have significant regulatory impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to change a rule in Ohio so that if an installation permit is being questioned by someone else, they have more time to figure things out. This change makes sure everything fits with the big rules everyone follows, and it shouldn't cause any big problems.

    The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has decided to close its investigation into whether Canadian rules on ballast water management systems were harming U.S. shipping operations in the Great Lakes. Initially sparked by fears of unfair conditions for U.S. ships due to new Canadian regulations, the situation improved enough for the FMC to conclude that short-term issues have been resolved. However, a longer-term investigation remains open to address any potential ongoing concerns. The FMC encourages those affected to continue participating in this ongoing investigation to address any lingering disparities.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Maritime Commission stopped looking into how Canada's rules for water in ships might be causing problems for U.S. ships in the Great Lakes because things have gotten better for now, but they're still checking to make sure the problems don't come back later.
