Summary
Kentucky and local air officials say the EPA took too long to decide if part of Louisville meets clean air rules. They’re asking the court to make the EPA set clear deadlines to approve or deny this air quality update by October 16, 2024. This means faster action to keep the air cleaner and clearer for everyone in the area.

Deadlines to Decide Louisville Redesignation
Plaintiffs filed a complaint on October 16, 2024 saying the EPA took too long to decide whether the Kentucky portion of the Louisville, KY–IN 2015 8-hour ozone area should be redesignated to attainment. The proposed consent decree would make the EPA meet specific deadlines to approve or deny that redesignation request.
