Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The Fair Air Standards Act amends the Clean Air Act to create a process for redesignating an ozone nonattainment area as attainment when the area would have met the national standard but for ozone or its precursors coming from other states or foreign countries. A state governor can submit a finding and supporting evidence to the EPA administrator, who must concur or reject the request within 180 days. This provides a faster path for areas harmed by cross‑border pollution to achieve compliance status.
