Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC)

Phase II Recommendations by the Air Quality Management Subcommittee to the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee

In March 2005, the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) formed the Air Quality Management (AQM) Subcommittee to continue efforts to improve the air quality management process in the United States. The primary charge of the AQM Subcommittee was to develop recommendations that would improve the air quality management system and address the air quality challenges in this country expected over the next 10 to 20 years.

This report addresses those challenges and includes recommendations for the EPA, states, tribes, and others to improve the planning and implementation of air quality protection programs.
