The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending existing regulations to implement certain provisions of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act.

Date: 2023-07-20
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
On June 22, 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule in the Federal Register approving revisions to the Commonwealth of Virginia state implementation plan (SIP).
