Title: Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) Region for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone | |
Abstract: Ozone and ozone precursors are transported across the northeastern United States. The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) was formed in 1995 to document the amount and extent of this transport and to develop control recommendations. The OTAG was a collaborative process conducted by the affected States. This action builds on the work of the OTAG. Controls are intended to reduce the ozone and ozone precursors "blowing into" the nonattainment areas and allow the impacted States to design local control programs that they can consider in their strategies. This action proposed to find that 22 States and DC in the OTAG Region significantly contribute to nonattainment of the ozone NAAQS or interferes with maintenance of the NAAQS. EPA proposed appropriate levels of NOx emissions that each of the affected States will be required to achieve. | |
