NMPF Summary of Proposed Rule [1]

On January 17, 2006, EPA issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register to revise the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of the Clean Air Act. In this proposed rule, EPA is accepting comments on changing the standards for fine particulate matter and for some course particulate matter (PM) or dust. EPA also issued a separate but related rule to amend its national air quality monitoring requirements. Both of these proposed rules have the potential to impact dairy producers.
