Comments on EPA’s proposal to extend the third round Regional Haze deadline

In a Federal Register notice, EPA proposed to extend the SIP submittal deadline for the third implementation period from July 2028, to July 2031. WESTAR commented on the proposal in the Federal Register. WESTAR agrees with EPA’s proposal and additionally, requested that EPA extend the fourth, and subsequent implementation period deadlines so that they are all ten to fifteen years long. This is consistent with Section 169A of the Clean Air Act. You can read WESTAR’s comments here.
