Air Quality The New England Council has been involved in issues relating to air
quality in the New England region for over fifteen years. Among the most
critical issues for the region is the interstate transport of pollution,
with which the region has been struggling for decades. The Council has
been active in efforts spearheaded by both regional and national organizations,
including the New England Coalition for Clean Air, the Ozone Transport
Commission and the Ozone Transport Assessment Group. The Council has participated
in EPA rulemakings (such as those involving the NOx SIP Call and the various
petitions submitted to the Agency pursuant to Section 126 of the Clean
Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §7426), has testified before the Agency and Congress
regarding these issues, and intervened in support of the Agency’s
NOx SIP Call in the litigation challenging that rule (State of Michigan
et al. v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 213 F.3d 663 (D.C. Cir.
2000)). Education:
