§7504 Planning procedures

Summary

For any ozone, carbon monoxide, or PM–10 nonattainment area, the State and the elected officials of the local governments there must, before the date they must send the inventory under sections 7511a(a)(1) and 7512a(a)(1), review and update planning procedures that existed right before November 15, 1990, or make new procedures if needed. They must decide which parts of a revised implementation plan the State will do and which parts local or regional governments will do. A State‑certified organization must prepare the plan, working with local elected officials and including local officials, the State air quality and transportation planning agencies, the metropolitan planning organization under section 134 of title 23, the group in charge of air quality maintenance planning, and any other groups with plan duties. The plan work must be coordinated with the ongoing transportation planning under section 134 of title 23. If a nonattainment area lies in more than one State, the States may work together, including by interstate compact, to carry out these planning steps.
