Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act of 2011

摘要

The Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act of 2011 makes an attempt to define what it calls "nuisance dust" subject to regulation at state and local levels. EPA would have authority to regulate nuisance dust only if local governments are unable to do so effectively. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) has 112 co-sponsors and defines nuisance dust as that "generated from natural sources, unpaved roads, agricultural activities, earth moving, or other activities typically conducted in rural areas; or consisting primarily of soil, other natural or biological materials, windblown dust, or some combination thereof."
