Title: Rule for Implementation of 2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS 
Abstract: This rulemaking action proposes rules for implementation of the 2008 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). EPA promulgated that standard on March 12, 2008 under section 109 of the Clean Air Act (73 FR 16436 (March 27, 2008)). The rulemaking will cover the various elements of State implementation plans that States must submit under the Clean Air Act to implement that standard. These elements include the attainment demonstration, reasonable further progress requirements, and reasonably available control technology requirements. The rule will address how to transition from the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, and will also establish also rules for classification of nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone standard. The actual classification of areas would occur in a separate rulemaking designating areas for the standard.
