AZ SCM1007

Urges the United States Environmental Protection Agency to reinstate the previous ozone concentration standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb) instead of the October 1, 2015 reduction to 70 ppb.

States that Arizona faces unique implementation difficulties due to its proximity to California, extreme heat, and intense summer sunshine, which are factors outside the state's control.

Argues that nonattainment designations under the stricter standard will limit economic and job growth by restricting industrial and manufacturing facilities and raising electricity prices for consumers and industries.

Notes that air quality has already improved significantly, with nitrogen oxide emissions down 60% nationwide since 1980 and average ozone concentrations decreasing substantially over the past two decades.

Directs the Arizona Secretary of State to transmit copies of this memorial to the EPA Administrator, the President, Congress leadership, and all Arizona members of Congress.
