Bexar County 2015 Eight-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA), §179B Demonstration State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision
On July 1, 2020, the commission adopted the Bexar County 2015 Eight-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area FCAA, §179B Demonstration SIP Revision (Non-Rule Project No. 2019-106-SIP-NR). The SIP revision demonstrates that the Bexar County marginal ozone nonattainment area would attain the 2015 eight-hour ozone NAAQS by its attainment deadline “but for” anthropogenic emissions emanating from outside the United States.

San Antonio Attains the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard
On April 2, 2008, the EPA issued final action to designate San Antonio, along with 12 other Early Action Compact areas, as attainment for the eight-hour ozone standard, as the area met all milestones of the EAC program and demonstrated attainment of the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard by December 31, 2007 ( 73 FR 17897 ). The effective date of this final action is April 15, 2008. Additionally, the one-hour ozone standard was revoked for the San Antonio area effective April 15, 2009.
Designating the San Antonio area as attainment for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard means that there are no further state implementation plan requirements for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard as long as the area continues to monitor attainment for the standard.
