The revision seeks to remove certain Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)-related definitions, and CAIR-related portions of certain definitions, in the Stationary Sources--General Requirements chapter of the Florida SIP because they have become obsolete.

The EPA's proposed rule to approve Florida's SIP revisions has compliance implications for businesses, particularly those in the stationary sources sector. Removing obsolete CAIR definitions could reduce regulatory burdens. Additionally, adherence to updated definitions is necessary to avoid non-compliance penalties.
