 Northeast Ozone Transport Commission

The Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) is a multi-state organization founded in 1991 and created under the Clean Air Act.[1] They are responsible for advising EPA on air pollution transport issues and for developing and implementing regional solutions to the ground-level ozone problem in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. OTC has no regulatory authority, but assists its members in developing model regulations for implementation at the state level. OTC also manages a regional planning organization MANE-VU (Mid-Atlantic Northeast Visibility Union), which is charged with regional multi-pollutant air quality planning.[2]
