Wildfire Air Quality Act

HR 7193, the Wildfire Air Quality Act, modifies the Clean Air Act to exclude air quality monitoring data directly caused by significant wildfires from EPA enforcement decisions. Specifically, the EPA Administrator may exclude such data during "catastrophic or beneficial use wildfire" events deemed to have major air quality impacts when determining violations of national air quality standards. The bill requires the EPA to issue a final rule within 90 days of enactment to implement this exclusion. This change directly affects how the EPA evaluates air quality standard compliance during major wildfire events, potentially altering enforcement actions in affected areas. The provision does not change air quality standards or emissions requirements.
