    Reading Time:about 19 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to air quality regulations submitted by Washington State, specifically addressing issues identified in a 2015 State Implementation Plan (SIP) call. This proposal focuses on rules by the Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) to ensure that regulations comply with the Clean Air Act, especially concerning emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events. The revisions clarify that excess emissions are violations and adjust rules to prevent limiting federal courts' jurisdiction on penalties. The EPA will accept public comments until January 9, 2025, on this proposed action.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is saying that Washington State fixed some rules about air pollution, especially when machines turn on, turn off, or break down, to make sure they follow the big clean air rules. They want to check if anyone has questions or thoughts about this by early January 2025.
