Riepilogo

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to reclassify the Poughkeepsie ozone nonattainment area from a marginal nonattainment area to a moderate nonattainment area. This action also proposes a determination that the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, NJ-PA; Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY; Buffalo-Niagara Falls, NY; Essex County, NY; and, Jefferson County, NY ozone nonattainment areas classified as marginal have attained the ozone air quality standard by the attainment date of November 15, 1993. These actions are based on monitored air quality readings for the national ambient air quality standard for ozone during the years 1991-1993.
