NOTE: A comprehensive air quality monitoring plan, intended to meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 58, was submitted by DEQ on December 27, 1979 (40 CFR 52.1970) and was approved by the EPA on March 4, 1981 (46 FR 15136). This air quality monitoring plan has been subsequently updated, with the most recent submittal dated July 1, 2012 and approved by the EPA on October 25. 2012. This plan includes, among other things, the locations for the lead (Pb) monitoring network. Oregon provides an annual air quality data report to the public on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.state.or.us/aq/forms/annrpt.htm .

Two elements identified in section 110(a)(2) include requirements that are not governed by the 3-year submission deadline of section 110(a)(1). The requirements pertain to part D, of title I of the CAA, which addresses plan requirements for nonattainment areas. Therefore, the

following section 110(a)(2) elements are considered by EPA to be outside the scope of infrastructure SIP actions: (1) section 110(a)(2)(C) to the extent it refers to permit programs (known as "nonattainment new source review") required under part D; and (2) section 110(a)(2)(I) in its entirety. EPA does not expect infrastructure SIP submittals to include regulations or emission limits developed specifically for attaining the relevant standard. Those submittals are due at the time the nonattainment area planning requirements are due (18 months following designation).

In accordance with the panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit opinion, the EPA at this time is not treating the 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) SIP submission from the State of Oregon as a required SIP submission. See EME Homer City generation, L.P. v. EPA, 696 F .3d 7.  Unless the EME Homer City decision is reversed or otherwise modified by the Supreme Court, states are not required to submit 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) SIPs until the EPA has quantified their obligations under that section. The portions of the SIP submission relating to 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), in contrast, are required and therefore, the State of Oregon is submitting for purposes of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) below.

The requirements pertain to part D, of title I of the CAA, which addresses plan requirements for nonattainment areas. Therefore, the following section 110(a)(2) elements are considered by EPA to be outside the scope of infrastructure SIP actions: (1) section 110(a)(2)(C) to the extent it refers to permit programs (known as "nonattainment new source review") required under part D; and (2) section 110(a)(2)(I) in its entirety. EPA does not expect infrastructure SIP submittals to include regulations or emission limits developed specifically for attaining the relevant standard. Those submittals are due at the time the nonattainment area planning requirements are due (18 months following designation).
