- Jul 13, 2026Comment submitted by Clean Air Task Force et al.OpposeAdvocacy📎 Attachment
A coalition of environmental and public health advocacy organizations opposes the EPA's Ozone Reclassification State Implementation Plan Rule. They argue the proposal is unlawful, undermines the Clean Air Act's public health protections, and allows states to indefinitely delay meeting ozone standards by effectively erasing missed deadlines through reclassification.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026Comment submitted by Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)OpposeGovernment📎 Attachment
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it fails to adequately address Clean Air Act anti-backsliding requirements and could lead to worsened air quality. The agency contends that the proposal does not actually reduce administrative burdens but instead forces states to rework emissions control strategies due to other federal deregulatory actions.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026Comment submitted by American Lung AssociationOpposeAdvocacy📎 Attachment
The American Lung Association opposes the EPA's proposed reconsideration of state implementation plan (SIP) requirements for reclassified nonattainment areas. They argue that allowing states to skip "leftover" requirements from previous classifications would weaken the Clean Air Act's progressive framework, delay emission reductions, and undermine public health protections.
