UGRB Ozone Nonattainment Area Request for Redesignation - Public Input

Hello,

A few comments with regards to the attainment redesignation:

- Engage industry early and often when developing the maintenance plan. Providing visibility into the agency's intended strategy for long term maintenance will reduce the number o...↓f comments received during public comments periods and help maintain trust with the regulated community.
- Increase communication on the benefits to industry about the benefits of redesignation.
- Industry is concerned that current voluntary programs, such as the EMA and OCP processes, will become codified and enforceable as part of the redesignation in alignment with EPA's focus on "Enforceable Reductions". Doing so will erode the trust that has allowed the agency and industry to work collaboratively on these programs. This collaboration has been key to the effectiveness of the voluntary programs. Strongly recommend providing transparency around expected regulation and compliance program changes to limit surprises to industry.

Thanks for all of your hard work improving air quality in the UGRB.
