The EPA is proposing the PM2.5 NAAQS
SIP Requirements Rule to describe the CAA requirements that must be
met by states with nonattainment areas required to develop
attainment plans for attaining and maintaining the NAAQS. The
intended effect of the SIP Requirements Rule is to provide
certainty to states regarding their planning obligations such that
states may begin SIP development. Only states with nonattainment
areas are required to submit SIPs that meet the requirements of the
rule.
