Key Points

- 2Regional haze is air pollution that reduces visibility in scenic areas like national parks and prevents people from seeing distant mountains and landscapes clearly
- 3The rule focuses on requiring power plants and other industrial sources to reduce emissions that contribute to haze and air quality problems
- 4States and tribes in the affected region (Region 10) can provide feedback on what pollution controls should be required
