Proposed Error Correction of the Designations for Areas in Texas

EPA is proposing to modify area designations for three areas in Texas including portions of Freestone and Anderson Counties, Rusk and Panola Counties, and Titus County. In December 2016, EPA designated these areas as nonattainment for the 2010 primary sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard. In this proposed action, EPA is proposing to correct an error in the nonattainment designations for these three areas and revise each to be designated as unclassifiable. EPA invites public input on this proposed action and will accept comments through September 23, 2019.
