Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 176A petition submitted by the state of Maine on February 24, 2020. The petition requested that the EPA remove a portion of Maine from the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) based on that area's continued attainment with ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and technical analyses demonstrating that further control of emissions from that portion of Maine will not significantly contribute to the attainment of any ozone standard in any area of the OTR.
