Requires EPA to release clear rules for new air quality standards at the same time, or they won't apply to building permits.
This bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to release clear instructions and rules at the same time it announces new air quality standards. If the EPA doesn't provide these instructions, the new standards would not apply to permits for new construction projects. It also sets specific rules for how a 2024 fine particle pollution standard would apply to certain building permits.
Today, the EPA can announce new air quality standards without immediately providing detailed rules and guidance for how to meet them, especially for building permits. This can lead to delays and uncertainty for states and businesses. This bill would require the EPA to release those detailed rules and guidance at the same time as new standards. If they don't, the new standards would not apply to preconstruction permits until the guidance is available. It would also set specific conditions for how the 2024 Primary Annual Particulate Matter 2.5 Standard applies to certain permits.
