EPA Extends Clean Air Act Attainment Deadline for New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Area

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted a one-year extension to the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (NYCMSA) to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for carbon monoxide, as required by the Clean Air Act. The area, which includes parts of southwestern Connecticut, was initially set to meet the standard by December 31, 1995, but the deadline was extended due to its compliance with specific requirements.
