Pennsylvania Statutes Title 35 P.S. Health and Safety § 4002. Declaration of policy

(1) Interstate pollution transport commissions established under the Clean Air Act should develop pollution control strategies via a process which involves public review and opportunity for comment.

(2) The public should be involved in developing and committing the Commonwealth to the adoption of particular pollution control strategies through review of State implementation plans required to be submitted by the Clean Air Act.

(3) The department should have adequate staff and technical resources needed to comply with the Clean Air Act. The department shall be required to explore the role private industry can play in developing and implementing the clean air programs as a mechanism to insure the Commonwealth meets Clean Air Act deadlines.

(4) States should not be penalized for missing Clean Air Act deadlines when the delay is the result of the Federal Government not finalizing guidance to states on implementing the act. The Commonwealth and other states must be given a reasonable opportunity to meet Clean Air Act deadlines.
