December 2, 2023 -- EPA has issued a final rule that will sharply reduce emissions of methane and other harmful air pollution from oil and natural gas operations — including, for the first time, from existing sources nationwide.

In the Agency's recent proposed interim decision, EPA is proposing that EtO registrants submit data on commercially available technologies that can monitor below 10 ppb in real-time, while also documenting other instruments that can quantify levels around 0.19 ppb (the level of concern for workers).

Under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, states must submit plans to EPA that provide for the establishment, implementation and enforcement of standards of performance for existing sources. State plans must generally establish standards of performance that are at least as stringent as EPA's emission guidelines.

The Good Neighbor Plan was finalized in March 2023 for 22 states to reduce pollution that significantly contributes to problems downwind states face in meeting EPA's 2015 health-based air quality standard for ground-level ozone.

In 1995, EPA issued the “Once In, Always In” Policy and determined that any facility subject to major source hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions standards would always remain subject to those standards.

Rule Summary On April 12, 2023, EPA announced new, more ambitious proposed standards to further reduce harmful air pollutant emissions from light-duty and medium-duty vehicles starting with model year 2027.
