Thank you for the opportunity to speak today regarding the Draft Policy Assessment for the Review of the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). I am Chad Whiteman and I am speaking on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber is supportive of air quality standards that are necessary to protect public health and public welfare, and our members will take the appropriate measures that are required of them to attain and remain in attainment of those standards. We support basing the decision, whether to maintain or revise the NAAQS, on a holistic policy judgment informed by an unbiased review of the latest scientific evidence.
