### in the future will not provide the amount of emissions reductions needed to attain the 8-hour ozone standard, and therefore that future technological advancements are needed to attain the 8-hour ozone standard, WHEREAS, because of the need for technological advancements, the District is 

### requesting that ARB concur and transmit a request to the EPA to reclassify the SJVAB as an extreme nonattainment area for the federal 8-hour ozone standard; and WHEREAS, such extreme nonattainment classification requires attainment of the federal 8-hour ozone standards in the SJVAB as expeditiously as practicable but not I later than June 15, 2024; and 

### WHEREAS, EPA approval of the extreme reclassification also triggers the need to revise major source thresholds for New Source Review and Title V permitting; and 

### WHEREAS, the District, ARB, and the eight Transportation Planning Agencies (TPAs) in the SJVAB prepared the 2007 Ozone Plan, 

### which demonstrates attainment I of the federal 8-hour ozone ambient air quality standards by June 15, 2024 and contains a!1 required elements; and
