The Show the Data Act of 2024 amends the Clean Air Act to change how the Environmental Protection Agency designates areas as having poor air quality. The bill requires that any designation or redesignation of nonattainment areas must be based solely on air quality monitoring data from federal monitors located within the state in question, rather than allowing the EPA to consider other planning factors or air quality-related information it deems appropriate. The legislation also modifies the redesignation process to require the EPA to consult with state governors and follow formal notice-and-comment procedures before making these designations. The bill affects communities and states dealing with air quality regulations, as it would restrict the EPA's flexibility in determining which areas are designated as having nonattainment status. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the bill text.
