The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a rule to bring two counties in Texas into compliance with sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission standards.

Under the Clean Air Act, each state is required to submit plans to the EPA showing how it will control certain types of air pollution. The EPA reviews these state implementation plans (SIPs) and approves those that comply with the Clean Air Act.
