EPA Drops "Begin Actual Construction" Guidance

At a December 8, 2020, Clean Air Act Advisory Committee meeting, acting Assistant Administrator for Air Anne Austin reportedly stated that EPA would not take further action on the "Begin Actual Construction" guidance that was released for public comment on March 25, 2020. Instead, EPA will defer action while it considers whether a rulemaking may be more appropriate.
