Docket No.: Not yet available (What's this?)
Current Phase: Pre-Proposal (What's this?)
Abstract:
The last review of the NO2 primary (health-based) NAAQS was completed in January 2010, with the final decision published in the FR in February 2010. In that decision, EPA added a new 1-hour NO2 standard, with a level of 100 ppb, to the existing annual standard, with a level of 53 ppb. The Clean Air Act establishes a 5-year review cycle for all NAAQS.

Children's Health
This rule is likely to address an adverse impact on childhood lifestages, including prenatal (via exposure to women of childbearing age). The potential adverse impacts are expected to be due to toxicity (i.e., the developing fetus, infants, and/or children are more likely to have an adverse response than adult lifestages).
Some of EPA's rulemakings undergo regulatory review (What's this?), as prescribed by Executive Order 12866 and coordinated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The following list describes which of this rulemaking's stages have completed review and published in the Federal Register, if any, and provides links to the review documents where available. Consult the "Timeline" section of this Web page for the dates of each review.
