The Environmental Protection Agency delayed the release of its court-ordered national ozone standard citing a need to consider input and better align the major pieces of the regulation. EPA said it now plans to finalize its rule by mid-Summer.
01-16-2015 Twelve Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee asked the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide public information regarding the costs of meeting a potentially stricter ozone standard.
11-21-2014 Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) along with several other Republican senators introduced “The Clean Air, Strong Economies Act,” which seeks to block the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from revising its ozone standard downward until 85 percent of the current non-attainment counties comply with the existing standard.
