Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Nitrogen
Dioxide

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Based on its review of the air quality criteria for oxides of
nitrogen and the primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
for oxides of nitrogen as measured by nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), EPA is making revisions to the primary NO2
NAAQS in order to provide requisite protection of public health.
Specifically, EPA is establishing a new 1-hour standard at a level of
100 ppb, based on the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of the
yearly distribution of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations, to
supplement the existing annual standard. EPA is also establishing
requirements for an NO2 monitoring network that will include
monitors at locations where maximum NO2 concentrations are
expected to occur, including within 50 meters of major roadways, as
well as monitors sited to measure the area-wide NO2
concentrations that occur more broadly across communities.

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 12, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0922. All documents in the docket are listed on the
http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., confidential business
information or other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, will be

SUMMARY: EPA issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register of October
19, 2009, proposing to find HFO-1234yf acceptable, subject to use
conditions as a substitute for CFC-12 in motor vehicle air

substance and consequently does not contribute to stratospheric ozone
depletion. In response to requests from several stakeholders and to
allow comments on new supporting materials, this action reopens the
public comment period through February 24, 2010.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published October 19,
2009 (74 FR 53445), is reopened. Comments, identified by docket
