PROGRAM TOPIC
Catch a glimpse of what might develop during the new Obama administration! On December 16, 2008, the National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA) made important recommendations to the Obama transition team on air quality issues. Now, NACAA is teaming up with A&WMA to provide an exclusive look. Learn how the recommendations were developed, which recommendations were well-received, and how the recommendations might be influencing policy a month after the new President's inauguration! Where do the state and local clean air agency directors see the air program progressing under the Obama administration?
Issues which will be discussed include:
- Use of existing authorities under the Clean Air Act to address Global Warming
