are equivalent to the fees collected by a direct implementation of Section 185 of the Clean Air Act.

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN 

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: The amendments satisfy the requirements of section 185 of the federal Clean Air Act for nonattainment areas 

of the now-revoked federal 1-hour ozone standard and address EPA's approval issues. No emission reductions are 

expected from the additional administrative requirements.
