NAAQS Policy Assessment for CO

In the Monday, Nov. 1, 2010, Federal Register, the EPA signaled what could be the first step toward revising federal policy with regard to carbon monoxide (CO).

The agency's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) announced the availability of a final document titled Policy Assessment for the Review of the Carbon Monoxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards . The policy analysis contains staff analyses of the scientific bases for alternative policy options for consideration by the agency prior to rulemaking.

The document is available at www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/co/s_co_index.html.

Based off of a staff paper, the document is a frank discussion of agency analysis on current policy and potential future regulatory efforts, prepared to help the EPA Administrator determine whether to change or replace the current standard.

See www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/review.html for a copy of Administrator Jackson's May 21, 2009, memorandum and for additional information on the NAAQS review process.
