That evidence shall include the date of adoption or final issuance as well as the effective date of the plan, if different from the adoption/issuance date. 2. N/A (Not a regulatory change

- the submittal is a request for redesignation, accompanie d by a maintenance plan, and a request for approval of the attainment ye ar inventory ).

3. Evidence that the State has the necessary legal authority under State law to adopt and implement the plan. 3. The submittal letter states that all applicable pr ocedural requirements of the State’s laws and constitution were followed in conducting and completing the issuance of the plan. X4. A copy

The submittal shall be a copy of the official State regulation/document signed, stamped, dated by the appropriate State official indicating that it is fully enforceable by the State. The effective date of the regulation/document shall, whenever possible, be indicated in the document itself. 4. N/A, see 2 above.

5. Evidence that the State followed all of the procedural requirements of the State's laws and constitut ion in conducting and completing the adoption/issuance of the plan. 5. The submittal include s documentation showing that the State followed State procedural and administrative requirements in issuing the plan. X

6. Evidence that public notice was given of the proposed change consistent with procedures approved by EPA, including the date of publication of such notice. 6.

1. I de ntification of all regulated pollutants affected by the plan. 1. The Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan evaluate

fine particulate matter ( PM 2.5 ), nitrogen oxides (N Ox ) , sulfur oxides ( SO 2 ), volatile organic compounds ( VOC ) and ammonia (NH 3 ) emissi ons in L ancaster County

. X

2. I dentification of the locations of affected sources including the EPA attainment/nonattainment designation of the locations and the status of the attainment plan for the affected area(s). 2. R ed esignation affects the Lancaster 1997 and 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS Nonattainment Area (Area) comprised of Lancaster County , PA. EPA made Clean Data Determination(s) that the Area had attained the 1997 standard on September 25, 2009 and attained the 2006 standard on March 29, 2012 , thereby suspending the requirement for an attainment plan for both standards. X

3. Quantification of the changes in plan allowable emissions from the affected sources; estimates of changes in current actual emissions from affected sources or, where appropriate, quantification of changes in actual emissions from affected sources through calculations of the differences between certain baseline levels and allowable emissions anticipated as a result of the revision. 3. The submittal provides 2007 actua l emissions from point, area, highway

and nonroad source categories as the attainment ye ar inventory , which may not be exc eeded during the period of the maintenance plan. Projection inventories were calculated to show that the attainment year emissions le vel will be below 2007 levels. X

4. The State's demonstration that the national ambient air quality standards, prevention of significant deterioration increments, reasonable further progress demonstration, and visibility , as applicable, are protected if the plan is approved and implemented. 4. PADEP submitted a demonstration that shows that emissions of PM 2.5 and its precursors will not exceed the level of the attainment inventory during the period of the Maintenance Plan. Projected interim year 201 7 and end year 2025 emissions inventories, based on permanent and enforceable measures, are below the 2007 inventory , which assures the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)
are maintained. X

5. Modeling information required to support the pro posed revision, including input data, output data, models used, ambient monitoring data used, meteorological data used, 5. Not applicable.justification for use of offsite data (where used), modes of

models used, assumptions, and other information relevant to the determinat ion of adequacy of the modeling analy sis. 6. Evidence, where necessary , that emission limitations are based on continuous emission reduction technology

. 6. Not applicable.

7. Evidence that the plan contains emission limitatio ns, work practice standards and recordkeeping/reporting requirements, where necessary , to ensure emission levels. 7. Based on permanent and enforceable measures, Pennsylvania projects emissions inventories for int erim year 2017 and end ye ar 202 5 that do n ot exceed the 2007 attainment ye ar inventory , which demonstrate attainment throughout the entire maintenance period. X

8. Compliance/enforcement strategies, including how compliance will be determined in practice. 8

. The Maintenance Plan i dentifi e s when and what
c ontingency

measures may be implemented if the Area violates or exceeds the 1997 PM 2.5 NAAQS and/or the 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS after redesignation of the Area

. These measures are intended to expeditiously bring the area back in to attainment of the standard (s)

. X

9. Special economic and technological justifications required by any applicable EPA policies. (I f a policy is not appropriate, explain why .) 9. N/A

10. A Section 107 request must be accompanied by a maintenance plan demonstrating maintenance to the relevant NAAQS for at least 10 years after redesignation. 10. The redesignation request was accompanied by a Maintenance Plan that w as received from PADEP on April 30, 2014 , which shows maintenance of the 1997 PM 2.5 NAAQS and the 2 006 PM 2.5 NAAQS for 10 y ears after redesignation (through 2025).
