Abstract: EPA has proposed a rule that outlines steps certain polluted areas would have to take to meet the national health-based 8-hour ozone standard. EPA issued the 8-hour ozone standard in 1997; however, litigation delayed implementation of this important health protection for several years. This proposal marks the last step the courts required EPA to take in order to implement this standard. This file is a fact sheet about the proposal.
