The final equivalent alternative program demonstration meets the anti-backsliding requirements related to Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 185 for the revoked 1979 1-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).  The document demonstrates that New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP) is an equivalent alternative program to fulfill the CAA Section 185 fee requirement for the New Jersey portion of the New York-N. New Jersey-Long Island (NY-NJ-CT) Nonattainment Area of the revoked 1979 1-hour ozone NAAQS.
