The Environmental Protection Agency is considering a request from the state of New Hampshire to remove itself from the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). This region was created by the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and includes several states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Why it matters: This is primarily an administrative change to how air quality regulations are applied to New Hampshire, though it may change how the state manages its emissions requirements compared to its neighbors in the OTR.
