3	Where is EPA with 8-hour Ozone designations? Memo from EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation dated November 14, 2002 outlining schedule for designations EPA will begin process using 2000-2002 data. 2001-2003 will be used to the extent it is available and quality assured. Earlier guidance (March 28, 2000 memo) for designations will be used. Memo Highlights Early Action Compact and focuses on key milestones and schedules.

6	8-Hour Ozone NAAQS Rulemaking Current timeline for implementation: Expected Rule proposed early 2003 Final rulemaking late 2003/ early 2004 8-hour designations in 2004 State Implementation Plan (SIP) due 3 yrs from designation. (SIP potentially due by 2007 demonstrating attainment, if marginal classification, within 3-yrs or by 2010) Transportation Conformity begins 1 yr after designation Expectations for some -to significant -‘overlap’ of 1 & 8-hr standards

10	What is an Early Action Compact? A Voluntary Effort to Achieve and Maintain the 8‑Hour Ozone Standard Through the Development and Execution of an Early Action Plan. Concept Cooperatively Developed by TNRCC and EPA, with Input From Environmental Stakeholders Protocol for Developing Compacts Approved by the EPA on June 19, 2002. EPA’s November 14^th memo provides more details. MUST BE SIGNED BY DECEMBER 31, 2002
11	Early Action Compact Principles Expeditious Attainment and Maintenance of the 8‑hour Ozone Standard Through Early Planning and Implementation of Emission Reductions Local Control of Clean‑Air Measures, with Broad‑Based Public Input State Support to Ensure Technical Integrity of the Early Action Plan
12	Who Can Participate? Areas That Are in Attainment of the 1‑Hour Ozone Standard, Including No Monitored Violations, But Approach or Monitor Exceedances of the 8‑Hour Ozone Standard In Region 6, the following areas have already submitted draft compacts: Oklahoma: Tulsa Texas: Austin, San Antonio, Tyler/Longview Louisiana: Shreveport
13	Early Action Compact Principles (Continued) Formal Incorporation of Early Action Plan Into the State Implementation Plan Deferral of the Effective Date of Nonattainment Designation, Provided Compact Milestones are Met Return of Area to Traditional SIP Requirements if the Compact is Unfulfilled, with Appropriate Credit for Measures Implemented
14	Comparing the Early Action Compact vs. Traditional Non-Attainment EAC designed to achieve clean air sooner than expected under traditional non-attainment Emission reduction strategies fully implemented by 2005 rather than 2007 under traditional EAC allows for more local control in selecting emission-reduction measures EAC ensures deferral of non-attainment designation and regulated requirements; Deferral of --- Transportation conformity Defers New Source Review & Ofsets Defers Title V Alleviates non-attainment stigma

16	Early Action Compact Specifics Emissions Inventory 1999 or later episode reflective of typical ozone season MOBILE6 data w/ Travel Demand Model data Nonroad model data adjusted for local equipment & usage rates Area source data Modeling SIP quality Including base case and future case on or before Dec. 2007 to account for projected growth in inventories Quantified emission reduction measures to aid in selecting appropriate measures
17	Early Action Compact Specifics (continued) Control Strategies Initial list of potential control strategies identified by June 16, 2003 Implemented not later than Dec 2005 Implemented by community with full stakeholder participation Fully incorporated into State Implementation Plan Maintenance for Growth EAC to include component to address emissions growth at least 5 yrs beyond Dec 2007 Annual review of growth Identification and quantification of federal, state, and/or local measures as necessary to offset growth estimates Public Involvement
