MARciN* THE SCENEt Long before remembered time, ice fields blanketed central India, discharging floes into a sea covering the Plains of Punjab. The Argentine Pampas lay frozen and still beneath a crush of ice. Ice sheets were carving their presence into the highest mountains of Hawaii and New Guinea. On the western land mass, ice gutted what was, in pre-glacial time, a stream valley near the northeastern shore. In this alien epoch, when woolly mammoth and caribou roamed the North American tundra, the ice began to melt. Receding glaciers left an inland lake where the primeval stream valley had been.

New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Nonattainment Area
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Nonattainment Area Final Area Designations for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards Technical Support Document (TSD) 1.0 Summary This technical support document (TSD) describes the EPA’s final designation for the counties of Fairfield, New Haven and Middlesex in the state of Connecticut; the counties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren in the state of New Jersey; and the counties of Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester in the state of New York as nonattainment, and include them in a single nonattainment area, for the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). We refer to this nonattainment area as the New York- Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Nonattainment Area, also referred to as the New York Metro nonattainment Area. On October 1, 2015, the EPA promulgated revised primary and secondary ozone NAAQS (80 FR 65292; October 26, 2015). The EPA strengthened both standards to a level of 0.070 parts per million (ppm). In accordance with Section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), whenever the EPA establishes a new or revised NAAQS, the EPA must promulgate designations for all areas of the country for that NAAQS. Under section 107(d), states were required to submit area designation recommendations to the EPA for the 2015 ozone NAAQS no later than 1 year following promulgation of the standards, i.e., by October 1, 2016. Tribes were also invited to submit area designation recommendations.

INTERIM GUIDANCE FOR OFFICE-BASED WORK DURING THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY When you have read this document, you can affirm at the bottom. As of June 8, 2021 Purpose This Interim Guidance for Office-Based Work during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (“Interim COVID-19 Guidance for Office-Based Work”) was created to provide businesses and entities that operate in office spaces and their employees and contractors with precautions to help protect against the spread of COVID-19 as their businesses reopen or continue to operate. This guidance addresses business activities where the core function takes place within an office setting. This guidance may apply – but is not limited – to businesses and entities in the following sectors: Professional services, nonprofit, technology, administrative support, and higher education administration (excluding full campus reopening). Please note that these guidelines may also apply to business operating parts of their business functions under different guidelines (e.g. front office for a construction company). This guidance does not address medical offices, such as doctors’ offices or dentists’ offices. This guidance also does not address building owners/managers and their employees or contractors. For more information on building management, see, “Interim COVID-19 Guidance for Commercial Building Management.” Owners and operators of offices are authorized to require masks and six feet of social distancing for employees within their establishments or adhere to DOH guidance, consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) “Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People.” If choosing to adhere to CDC guidance, offices generally do not congregate patrons or operate above the State’s social gathering limits, and must follow applicable guidelines for masks, distancing, and capacity as outlined in New York State’s guidelines on Implementing CDC Guidance.
