Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing approval of New York's State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for ozone. This SIP revision relates to New York's portion of the Ozone Transport Commission's September 27, 1994 Memorandum of Understanding, which includes a regional nitrogen oxides budget and allowance (NO<INF>X</INF> Budget) trading program that will significantly reduce NO<INF>X</INF> emissions generated within the Ozone Transport Region, which includes New York State. EPA is approving New York's regulations, which implement Phase II of the NO<INF>X</INF> Budget Trading Program, since they reduce NO<INF>X</INF> emissions and help achieve the national ambient air quality standard for ozone.
