AIR Designations for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards AIR
Notice of the EPA announces the withdrawal of the one-year extension, until Oct. 1,2018, of the deadline for the agency to issue initial area designations for the 2015 ozone NAAQS, which were established in an Oct. 26, 2015, final rule (80 FR 65292). The agency extended the deadline in a June 28, 2017, notice (82 FR 29246) to allow additional time to evaluate issues related to the standards. The EPA now intends to reassess whether there are areas with underlying technical issues, whether there are state designation recommendations that the agency intends to modify, and whether for any area there is insufficient information to make a designation. The EPA administrator may still determine that an extension of time to complete designations is necessary, but the original statutory deadline of Oct. 1, 2017, to make area designations is now applicable.
