Section 110 of the Clean Air Act (Act) or (CAA) requires states to submit plans to EPA which provide for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the primary and secondary national ambient air quality standards for the criteria pollutants regulated under Title I of the Act (i.e., ozone, carbon monoxide, particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM-10), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and lead).

Each plan submitted must undergo reasonable notice and public hearing and include enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, schedules and timetables for compliance. The EPA approved SIP regulations are available for each State.

The following are the designated nonattainment areas in Region 6 subject to the section 110 nonattainment planning requirements (as of 9/1/06):
