EPA Regional Offices Provide RICE Informational Webinars and Expand Compliance Tools.

In June and July, EPA Regions 1 and 10 held a series of free webinars to provide an overview of applicable air quality regulations for reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) and to provide an update on potential revisions to these rules. Both agencies have set up dedicated RICE web pages and have posted copies of these presentation materials, as well as regulatory applicability summaries, compliance requirements tables, and sample initial notification tools. Links to EPA's Combustion Portal, REG NAV tool and Combustion Emissions Calculators are also provided.
