EPA removes Biden-era regulations in approving Fairbanks air quality plan

**Summary:**The Environmental Protection Agency has approved a significant change for Fairbanks-area homeowners, eliminating the requirement for energy rating reports when selling property. This move is part of an updated Fairbanks State Implementation Plan, aimed at addressing air pollution issues in the region. The original rule, established in 2024, was intended to combat air pollution from wood-burning stoves, but it was deemed expensive and unnecessary by locals. The new approach balances environmental needs with practical decision-making, focusing on finding solutions that don't burden homeowners. DNN | The Daily News Now!
