Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule 

The FCAA requires areas designated non-attainment and classified moderate and above to implement RACT for 

sources subject to Control Technique Guidelines (CTG) documents issued by EPA for “major sources” of volatile 

organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) which are ozone precursors. On March 9, 2006, 

USEPA shifted its ozone standard from measurement on a one-hour basis to an eight-hour basis (8-hour ozone 

standard). For purposes of the FCAA, portions of the District have been designated non-attainment for ozone and 

classified as moderate for the 8-hour standard. As a result of the shift to the 8-hour standard, USEPA is requiring 

that all non-attainment areas submit an updated RACT SIP Analysis. The purpose of the RACT SIP Analysis is to 

ensure that District Rules adequately address current RACT requirements.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2
