What action is OTAG taking to address the problem?
No individual state or regional jurisdiction can be expected to either fully assess or subsequently resolve all of the issues relevant to the long-range transport of ground-level ozone. To foster thoughtful assessment and development of consensus solutions to this problem, EPA and ECOS formed OTAG to bring together all interested states and other relevant stakeholders, such as industry and environmental groups. OTAG’s primary objective is to collectively assess ozone transport and to develop a strategy for reducing ozone pollution on a regional scale. OTAG is scheduled to present its finding and strategy to EPA in fiscal year 1997.
