🇬🇧 English

The rule gives the public two extra weeks to comment on EPA’s proposed approval of Maryland air pollution controls for municipal waste combustors. The new deadline is June 12, 2026, instead of May 29, 2026. EPA says it extended the deadline because technical problems delayed access to docket materials on Regulations.gov. Businesses, waste facility operators, environmental groups, local governments, and other interested parties now have more time to review the proposal and submit comments.
