Requires the report to contain:

  • the proposed standard (in parts per million),
  • all scientific and technical data relied upon to support the proposed standard in a manner sufficient for independent analysis and substantial reproduction of results,
  • a description of all technologies and strategies that may be utilized to achieve the standard and their costs,
  • an economic impact analysis estimating the total costs of the standard,
  • a list of each U.S. area of the United States that would exceed the standard for ozone and thereby receive a nonattainment designation for ozone under the Act, and
  • an identification of the level of ground level ozone in each U.S. county that is naturally occurring or produced outside of the United States.

Requires the EPA to consider the cost and economic and technological feasibility of attaining the standard when establishing a NAAQ standard for ozone.

Prohibits a NAAQ standard for ozone from taking effect unless a federal statute is enacted approving it.
