Clean Air Act Attainment Extension for the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Carbon Monoxide Nonattainment Area

Краткое содержание

This action grants a one (1) year attainment date extension for the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Carbon Monoxide nonattainment area (NYCMSA) which also includes parts of two counties in southwestern Connecticut. The NYCMSA failed to attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide (CO) by the December 31, 1995 deadline contained in the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA). However, section 186(a)(4) of the CAA provides for a one year extension of the CO attainment date if specific requirements are met. Since the NYCMSA has met these requirements, EPA is granting the one year extension.
