Recommendations for Area Designations 

2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) 

Dear Mr. Starfield: 

In accordance with Section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and as the duly 

appointed representative of the Governor of Louisiana, I am pleased to submit designation 

recommendations for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, which were published on March 27,2008 (73 FR 

16436). These designation recommendations are based on a review of the quality-assured ozone 

monitoring data for the period 2006-2008. 

The recommended designations are outlined in the attached document. These designations are in 

the format of the Louisiana Air Quality Control Regions as set forth in 40 CFR 81.319. 

We look forward to working closely with your staff over the next year on EPA's issuance of the 

final 2008 Ozone NAAQS designations. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Paul 

Miller, Assistant Secrety for the Office of Environmental Assessment at 225-219-3233.
