• Rules. New York's air program is shaped by its state implementation plan (SIP), which sets forth basic strategies for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). As mandated by the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), each state must adopt and submit a SIP to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval.

DEC's Office of Air Resources, Climate Change, and Energy and Office of Regional Affairs and Permitting are responsible for administering and enforcing New York's air pollution rules. New York City DEP works in conjunction with DEC to administer and enforce the state regulations within New York City.
