What is OTAG and what are its goals?
The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) is a partnership among EPA, the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS), and various industry and environmental groups. ECOS is a national organization of environmental commissioners with members from 50 states and territories. The goal of this partnership is to develop a thoughtful assessment and a consensus agreement for reducing ground-level ozone and the pollutants that cause ground-level ozone. OTAG explicitly addresses ozone transport over the eastern United States.
