The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to remove a requirement for states to seek public feedback on applications for certain minor-source air-pollution permits. The change could cover data centers and would let states eliminate public notice and a 30-day comment period that federal rules currently require, according to the report. Attorneys general from 14 states and three cities oppose the proposal. The measure is proposed, not in effect, and could take effect within the next year.
