Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing proposed planning guidance for public comment for States to use in meeting EPA's revised air quality standards for ground-level ozone (smog) and particulate matter. EPA is making the guidance available for 30-days comment, which will begin on the date EPA publishes a notice of availability in the Federal Register. EPA will publish the notice shortly. The guidance addresses four major areas: It lays out a scheme for "classifying" areas that do not meet the ozone or particulate matter standards, including designation and classification dates, anticipated State implementation plan due dates and anticipated attainment dates. It clarifies the requirement that States adopt reasonably available control measures into ozone and particulate matter State implementation plans. It provides details on the State implementation plan requirements for ozone "transitional" nonattainment areas and PM10 nonattainment areas. It provides initial guidance on the "reasonable further progress" requirement for ozone nonattainment areas classified as "traditional." The file implguid.pdf is the file for the Proposed Implementation Guidance. The file igfs.pdf is the Fact Sheet for the Proposed Implementation Guidance and The files noa.pdf is the Notice of Availability for the same.
