Benchmark: Regional Haze Rule Revision: State Plan Requirements and EPA Proposed Changes

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Visibility Protection – Regional Haze State Plan Requirements Rule Revision (Proposed). In a few minutes, you’ll gauge how well you understand the intent behind EPA’s potential restructuring of the Regional Haze Rule, what it could change for states, FLMs, industry, and communities, and the trade-offs in using objective metrics, preservation categories, and streamlined SIP processes.

What you’ll get from this benchmark:
– A quick read on your readiness to engage in the ANPRM process with comments that matter.
– Insight into whether you can connect policy intent to operational impacts, equity considerations, and practical implementation steps.
– A sense of where the course can save you time—clarifying progress metrics, SIP obligations, enforceability, and effective stakeholder engagement—before you invest effort in planning or comments.

If these questions feel tough or expose gaps, the course will help you build the context and tools to participate confidently and design workable SIP strategies aligned with the Clean Air Act’s visibility goals.
