US environmental regulators extend comment period on Texas and Oklahoma haze plans

The US environmental regulators extended the public comment period for proposed rules on air quality plans in Texas and Oklahoma. This means the public has an extra month to submit feedback on how these states will reduce regional haze.

This document is a procedural step, not a substantive change. It gives the public more time to weigh in on state plans to reduce air pollution that causes regional haze. These plans dictate how much pollution power plants and other industrial sources can emit, affecting air quality across state lines.
