The Sacramento region was designated a "serious" nonattainment area for the 1997 federal 8- hour ozone standard and further requested redesignation to "severe" nonattainment area on February 04, 2008

. The Federal Clean Air Act requires the Sacramento region to submit an attainment demonstration and reasonable further progress plan per sections 172(c) and 182(c)(2)

. Enclosed are multiple copies of the Sacramento Regional 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan (Plan) for CARS's approval and submittal to EPA for inclusion in the State Implementation Plan (SIP). This Plan was developed cooperatively and adopted by Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD and Feather River AQMD, and will be adopted by all ofthe remaining airdistricts in the Sacramento region on the following schedule: Air District Public Hearing Adoption Date Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD January 22, 2009 Feather RiverAQMD Februal)' 02, 2009 El Dorado County AQMD February 10, 2009 Yolo-Solano AQMD February 11 ,2009 Placer CountyAPCD February 19, 2009 This Plan demonstrates that the region is meeting requirements of the Clean Air Act for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard including meeting minimum emission reduction progress requirements and attaining air quality standard no later than 2018.
