Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a rule to reclassify the Houston/Galveston/Brazoria area from a moderate to a severe 8-hour ozone nonattainment area, following a request from Texas Governor Rick Perry in 2007, and is seeking public comment on proposed dates for a revised State Implementation Plan.
