Big polluters keep stricter controls
The law cancels the EPA rule issued on September 10, 2024. That rule reclassified some large industrial plants as smaller “area sources.” With the rule canceled, those plants stay under the older, stricter major‑source standards and oversight. This takes effect upon enactment.
