Fair Air Standards Act

This bill would change the Clean Air Act so that an area labeled as not meeting the federal ozone air quality standard must be relabeled as meeting it, if certain conditions are met. The State must show, and the EPA Administrator must agree, that the area would have met the ozone standard by its deadline except for ozone or ozone-forming pollution coming from outside the State. A Governor could submit this finding at any time. The Administrator would have 180 days to agree or disagree and, if agreeing, would issue the redesignation. Evidence of emissions from other States and foreign countries would be considered.
