§7504 Planning Procedures

Summary

For any ozone, carbon monoxide, or PM–10 nonattainment area, the State and local elected officials must, before the date they must submit the inventory under sections 7511a(a)(1) and 7512a(a)(1) of this title, review and update planning procedures that were in effect before November 15, 1990, or create new ones. They must decide which parts of a revised implementation plan the State will do and enforce and which parts local or regional governments will do. A State-certified organization must prepare the plan with local officials. That organization must include local elected officials, the State air quality and transportation planners, the metropolitan planning organization under section 134 of title 23, the air quality maintenance planner, and others with plan duties. It may be the same group that did this work before November 15, 1990. Plan preparation and later revisions must be coordinated with the transportation-air quality planning under section 7408(e) and the transportation planning required under section 134 of title 23. If a nonattainment area spans more than one State, the States may jointly carry out these planning procedures, including by interstate compact.
