The Hill: The Trump administration is reversing course on its plan to delay by one year enforcement of the Obama administration’s ozone pollution regulation.
The walk-back, announced late Wednesday, came a day after 15 states and the District of Columbia sued the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), saying the delay exceeded the agency’s authority under the Clean Air Act. Environmental groups filed a similar lawsuit last year.
In a statement announcing the decision, the EPA emphasized that it will continue to work with states on implementing the ozone rule, which could include more targeted enforcement delays.
