Jun 3, 2022· Comment submitted by League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis (LWV)· EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0668-0247

The League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis strongly supports the EPA Proposed "Good Neighbor" Federal Implementation Plan Addressing Regional Ozone Transport and would protect the too-long marginalized and overburdened communities that have shouldered an unfair burden on their health without the ability to protect themselves and their families from dangerous air pollution. The proposed rule will prevent premature deaths, hospital and emergency room visits, asthma symptoms and missed school days. Reduction of the emissions of NOx from the power sector by 29% and other heavy industry by 15% across the 26 states is significant. The League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis supports the reduction in ozone forming emissions in the proposed "Good Neighbor" Plan.

Abstract

This action would apply in certain states for which EPA has either disapproved a “good neighbor” state implementation plan (SIP) submission under CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) or has made a finding of failure to submit such a SIP submission for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. This action would determine whether and to what extent ozone-precursor emissions reductions are required to eliminate significant contribution or interference with maintenance from upwind states that are linked to air quality problems in other states for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. For states that EPA determines to be linked to a downwind nonattainment or maintenance receptor, EPA would conduct further analysis consistent with the four-step interstate transport framework to determine what (if any) additional emissions controls are required in such states and develop an enforceable program for implementation of such controls.
