Obama Directs EPA to Withdraw Proposed Rules Limiting Ozone

摘要

Washington—U. S. President Barack Obama has directed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson to withdraw a draft plan that impacts air quality standards for ozone. "Work is already underway to update a 2006 review of the science that will result in the reconsideration of the ozone standard in 2013," the president said. "Ultimately, I did not support asking state and local governments to begin implementing a new standard that will soon be reconsidered," he added.
