Abstract
The EPA is proposing to disapprove State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions from New York and New Jersey regarding the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). This provision requires that each state's SIP contain adequate provisions to prohibit emissions from within the state from significantly contributing to nonattainment or interfering with maintenance of the NAAQS in other states. This requirement is part of the broader "infrastructure" requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2), which are designed to ensure that the structural components of each state's air quality management program are adequate to meet the state's responsibilities under the CAA.
