Supplementary Information

On January 2, 2026, the EPA published the [[Page 2895]] notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) ``Proposed Revisions of the Nonattainment Designation for the 2008 and 2015 Ozone Standards and Clean Data Determinations for the 2008 and 2015 Ozone Standards: Cecil County, MD and New Castle County, DE'' in the Federal Register (91 FR 98). The NPRM specified that the comment period would end on February 2, 2026.
