The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of South Carolina on July 23, 2025. The revision updates references to reflect the restructuring of South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to the South Carolina Department of Public Health and the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (DES).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing approval of revisions to the Arizona state implementation plan (SIP) for attaining the 1971 and 2010 sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") in the Hayden SO<INF>2</INF> nonattainment area. These SIP revisions, collectively referred to as the "Hayden SO<INF>2</INF> Plan" or "Plan," include Arizona's attainment demonstration and other elements required under Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") sections 110, 172, 191, and 192. In addition to an attainment demonstration, the revisions address the requirements for meeting reasonable further progress (RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS, reasonably available control measures and reasonably available control technology (RACM/RACT), base-year and projection-year emissions inventories, nonattainment new source review, emissions limitations necessary to provide for attainment, and contingency measures. The EPA is approving the SIP revisions as meeting the CAA requirements. This action is being taken under the CAA.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of six sites and the partial deletion of two sites, from the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, created under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). In accordance with the NCP, sites may be deleted from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. The EPA and the applicable states, through their designated state agency, have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

The elements of the Moderate SIP submissions include the reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstration and the associated motor vehicle emissions budgets (Budgets) for 2023, the motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program, and the nonattainment new source review (NNSR) program.
