AQM Report from the NRC (January 2004)
Workgroup History:
Following the release of the National Research Council’s (NRC)
report titled “Air Quality Management in the United States,”
the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) formed a work group
to develop recommendations for improvements to the air quality management
program. The charge to the Air Quality Management (AQM) Work Group
was to evaluate the NRC’s recommendations as well as other
potential improvements, and develop recommendations for consideration
by the CAAAC. The Work Group's Phase 1 report was delivered by the
CAAAC to EPA in January 2005.
