        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1997 8-Hr Ozone NAAQS: Classification of Subpart 1 Areas and Revision to AntiBacksliding Provisions; Deletion of Obsolete 1-Hr Ozone Standard Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final action would revise the rule for implementation of the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) to address several issues vacated by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The rulemaking would remove the portions of the regulatory text vacated by the Court. The rule would also address: (1) the classification system for nonattainment areas that the implementation rule originally covered under Clean Air Act (CAA) title I, part D, subpart 1; and (2) contingency measures that apply as anti-backsliding measures under the now-revoked 1-hour standard. The rule would also remove an obsolete provision in the 1-hour ozone standard itself (40 CFR 50.9(c)).]]></ABSTRACT>
