SO2 Designations - Round 4 State Recommendations and EPA Responses

EPA is responding to state recommendations for a fourth round of intended area designations. EPA’s letters to state governors will initiate a 120-day period for states to provide additional information, if desired, to inform our final designations. EPA is also opening a 30-day public comment period for interested parties to provide input on these designations. The Agency intends to finalize these designations by December 31, 2020.

Select a state name in the table below to read their updated recommendations for this final round of designations and EPA's responses.
