Title: ●Reconsideration of the 2008 Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone
Abstract: On March 12, 2008, EPA announced the final decision on the ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Soon after that decision was signed on 3/27/08 (73 FR 16436), the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) held an unsolicited public meeting and criticized EPA for setting primary and secondary standards that were not consistent with advice provided by the CASAC during review of the NAAQS. On 7/25/08, several environmental and industry petitioners, as well as a number of States, sued EPA on the NAAQS decision, and the Court set a briefing schedule for the consolidated cases on 12/23/08. On 3/10/09, EPA requested that the Court vacate the briefing schedule and hold the consolidated cases in abeyance for 180 days. This request for extension was made to allow time for appropriate EPA officials appointed by the new Administration to determine whether the standards established in March 2008 should be maintained, modified or otherwise reconsidered. This action has been combined with the Reconsideration of the 2008 Primary Ozone NAAQS (2060-AP98).
