Summary
The EPA is proposing to withdraw previous rules about how companies measure and report air pollution from new industrial projects. This change affects how the government determines whether new factories and plants meet clean air standards and could make it easier for some industrial facilities to operate.
Key Points
- 1The EPA is taking back guidance it previously issued on how companies should count emissions (pollution) from new or modified industrial projects
- 2This affects the rules that decide if a new factory or power plant meets federal clean air standards before it can be built
- 3Companies may face different requirements for measuring and reporting their air pollution depending on which state they operate in
- 4Environmental groups and state governments may disagree with this change, while some industries may welcome it as a simplification
- 5This is still a proposed rule, meaning the EPA is seeking public comment before making a final decision
