The 2010 NO2 NAAQS designation recommendation was approved by the commission at the November 18, 2010, commissioners’ agenda. The commission’s recommendation will be submitted to the governor for approval. The commission recommends an attainment designation for all areas of the state currently monitoring the one-hour NO2 standard in Texas and an unclassifiable/attainment designation for all other areas in Texas. State designation recommendations are due from the governor to the EPA on January 22, 2011.
For continuing updates on NO2 and other NAAQS, the TCEQ’s Air Quality Division has new web pages on the six criteria pollutants.
