Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Air and Health Quality Empowerment 
Zone Designation Act of 2008''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to establish criteria through the use of 
which specific geographical areas--
            (1) shall be designated as air and health quality 
        empowerment zones; and
            (2) may apply for grants authorized for the purpose of 
        replacing or retrofitting polluting vehicles or engines (or 
        both vehicles and engines) in order to improve the health of 
        the population living in the zones.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the San Joaquin Valley faces serious air quality 
        challenges that impact the development, health, and economy of 
        the Valley;
            (2) the Valley emits approximately 624 tons of nitrogen 
        oxides per day, and attainment of the federally mandated 8-hour 
        ozone standard under the Clean Air Act requires emissions of 
        not more than 160 tons of oxides of nitrogen per day;
            (3) the Valley does not attain the federally mandated 
        standard for PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt;;
            (4) the children of the Valley miss 188,000 school days per 
        year, which translates to 1 in 4 of those children experiencing 
        a day of absence each year due to elevated ozone levels;
            (5) approximately 460 residents of the Valley die earlier 
        than they otherwise would due to elevated ozone levels, and 
        Valley residents experience 23,300 asthma attacks per year, a 
        rate that equals 3 times the State average and 5 times the 
        national average;
            (6) 1 in 5 children residing in the Valley have been 
        diagnosed with asthma;
            (7) nonattainment of Federal air quality standards costs 
        the Valley $3,200,000,000 annually;
            (8) the Valley experiences chronic double-digit 
        unemployment rates; and
            (9) the Federal Government must partner with the Valley and 
        the State to address air quality, health, and economic 
        development for the residents of the Valley through the 
        designation of the Valley as air quality empowerment zone that 
        is eligible for Federal grants and technical assistance.
