SECTION 110, 42 U.S.C. §7410 — STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS:

(a) Submission to Administrator; time; procedures; contents;
approval of revised plan.
(1) Each State shall, after reasonable notice and public
hearings, adopt and submit to the Administrator,. ..a plan
which provides for implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of such primary standard in each air quality
control region (or portion thereof) within such State... .

(2) The Administrator shall, within four months after the date
required for submission of a plan under paragraph (1), approve
or disapprove such plan or each portion thereof. The
Administrator shall approve such plan, or any portion thereof,
if he determines that it was adopted after reasonable notice and
hearing and that —

(G) it provides, to the extent necessary and practicable, for
periodic inspection and testing of motor vehicles to enforce
compliance with applicable emmission standards;

(I) it provides that after June 30, 1979, no major stationary
source shall be constructed or modified in any
nonattainment area (as defined in section 171(2)) to which
such plan applies, if the emissions from such facility will
cause or contribute to concentrations of any pollutant for
which a national ambient air quality standard is exceeded in
such area, unless, as of the time of application for a permit
for such construction or modification, such plan meets the
requirements of part D (relating to nonattainment areas);

(3)(A) The Administrator shall approve any revision of an
implementation plan applicable to an air quality control region
if he determines that it meets the requirements of paragraph (2)
and has been adopted by the State after reasonable notice and
public hearings.

(c) Preparation and publication of proposed regulations; hearings;
promulgation of regulations.

(1) The Administrator shall, after consideration of any State
hearing record, promptly prepare and publish proposed regula-
tions setting forth an implementation plan, or portion thereof,
for a State if —

(A) the State fails to submit an implementation plan which
meets the requirements of this section.

(B) the plan, or any portion thereof, submitted for such
State is determined by the Administrator not to be in
accordance with the requirements of this section, or

(C) the State fails, within 60 days after notification by the
Administrator or such longer period as he may prescribe, to
revise an implementation plan as required pursuant to a
provision of its plan referred to in subsection (a)(2)(H).

The Administrator shall, within six months after the date
required for submission of such plan (or revision thereof),
promulgate any such regulations unless, prior to such promul-
gation, such State has adopted and submitted a plan (or
revision) which the Administrator determines to be in accor-
dance with the requirements of this section.

SECTION 172, 42 U.S.C. § 7502 — NONATTAINMENT PLAN
PROVISIONS:

(a) (1) The provisions of an applicable implementation plan
for a State relating to attainment and maintenance of national

construction or modification of any major stationary source in
any such area on or after July 1, 1979, shall provide for
attainment of each such national ambient air quality standard
in each such area as expeditiously as practicable, but, in the case
of national primary ambient air quality standards, not later
than December 31, 1982.

(2) In the case of the national primary ambient air quality
standard for photochemical oxidants or carbon monoxide (or
both) if the State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator (on or before the time required for submission of

4

such plan) that such attainment is not possible in an area with
respect to either or both of such pollutants within the period
prior to December 31, 1982, despite the implementation of all
reasonably available measures, such provisions shall provide
for the attainment of the national primary standard for the pol-
lutant (or pollutants) with respect to which such demonstration
is made, as expeditiously as practicable but not later than
December 31, 1987.

(b) The plan provisions required by subsection (a) shall —

(11) in the case of plans which make a demonstration pursuant
to paragraph (2) of subsection (a) —

(B) establish a specific schedule for implementation of a
vehicle emission control inspection and maintenance
program.

SECTION 176, 42 U.S.C. § 7506 — LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE:

(a) The Administrator shall not approve any projects or award any
grants authorized by this Act and the Secretary of Transporta-
tion shall not approve any projects or award any grants under

or transportation improvement projects related to air quality
improvement or maintenance, in any air quality control
region—

(1) in which any national primary ambient air quality standard
has not been attained,

(2) where transportation control measures are necessary for
the attainment of such standard, and

(3) where the Administrator finds after July 1, 1979, that the
Governor has not submitted an implementation plan which
considers each of the elements required by section 172 or that
reasonable efforts toward submitting such an implementation
plan are not being made (or, after July 1, 1982, in the case of an

implementation olan revision required under section 172 to be
submitted before July 1, 1982).

5

(b) In any area which the State or, as the case may be, the general

purpose local government or governments or any regional
agency designated by such general purpose local governments
for such purpose, is not implementing any requirement of an
approved or promulgated plan under section 110, including
any requirement for a revised implementation plan under this
part, the Administrator shall not make any grants under this
Act.

No department, agency, or instrumentality of the Federal
Government shall (1) engage in, (2) support in any way or pro-
vide financial assistance for, (3) license or permit, or (4)
approve, any activity which does not conform to a plan after it
has been approved or promulgated under section 110. No
metropolitan planning organization designated under section
134 of title 23, United States Code, shall give its approval to any
project, program, or plan which does not conform to a plan
approved or promulgated under section 110. The assurance of
conformity to such a plan shall be an affirmative responsibility
of the head of such department, agency, or instrumentality.
Each department, agency, or instrumentality of the Federal
Government having authority to conduct or support any pro-
gram with air-quality related transportation consequences shall
give priority in the exercise of such authority, consistent with
statutory requirements for allocation among States or other
jurisdictions, to the implementation of those portions of plans

tion.

7
