California air quality rules get a new name, but the same old numbers

The US environmental regulators approved a change to how air quality rules are written for the Feather River area in California. This change simply combines old county rules under a new district name, without altering what they actually require.

This document is a bureaucratic housekeeping item. It cleans up old paperwork by replacing two sets of county-level air pollution rules with a single set under a regional district. The actual limits on pollution, and what companies must do to meet them, remain exactly the same. It is a change in name only, not in substance.
