The OIG plans to assess how the coronavirus pandemic — that is, the SARS-CoV-2 virus and resultant COVID-19 disease — has impacted air compliance monitoring activities undertaken by EPA-delegated state and local agencies to confirm that facilities that emit air pollution are complying with the Clean Air Act and federal air regulations.
UPDATE: This project resulted in a report.
