EPA Approval of Missouri's Plan to Control Nitrogen Oxide Pollution from Large Engines
Official: Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Control of NOX Emissions From Large Stationary Internal Combustion Engines
Reading: Missouri's revisions reformat and streamline existing NOX control requirements without tightening emission limits, and the EPA approval extends the existing state implementation plan framework.
This action follows federal Clean Air Act requirements.
In clear language
The EPA is approving updates to Missouri's air quality plan that control pollution from large engines used in industry and power generation. The updates clean up reporting rules, add clearer definitions, and create an exemption for certain spark-ignited engines. This action follows federal Clean Air Act requirements.

The EPA is approving new air pollution permitting rules for the Antelope Valley area in California. These rules govern how companies must apply for permits when they build new factories or modify existing ones that emit pollution. The approval updates California's air quality improvement plan and fixes problems the EPA found in the previous version of these rules.

The EPA has approved Pennsylvania's updated air quality plan that requires industrial facilities to use the best available pollution-control technology to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to smog and ozone pollution. This approval stops financial penalties that Pennsylvania faced for not meeting federal clean-air standards. The rule takes effect immediately and addresses both the 2008 and 2015 federal ozone pollution limits.

The EPA has approved Ohio's plan showing that the Canton area has met federal lead pollution standards and will continue to maintain those standards. This means the Canton area is no longer designated as a region with unhealthy air quality for lead. The EPA determined that Ohio's emissions inventory and maintenance plan support this redesignation.
- Federal RegisterJul 16, 2026EPA Approves Pennsylvania's Plan to Reduce Smog-Forming Pollution from Industrial Facilities
The EPA is approving Pennsylvania's updated plan to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—chemicals that form smog—from industrial facilities, including plastic resin manufacturers. The plan uses existing and new pollution control requirements called RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology) to meet federal air quality standards set in 2008 and 2015. This approval allows Pennsylvania to enforce stronger pollution limits at specific industrial sites.
