What is the purpose of the EPA’s 

guidance? 

The purpose of the guidance is to 

assist air agencies that are required to 

prepare nonattainment plan State 

implementation plan submissions for 

the ozone or particulate matter National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard under 

Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). Specifically, the guidance 

focuses on the statutory requirement for 

those plans to include contingency 

measures (CMs), which are control 

requirements that would take effect if 

the EPA determines that a State has 

failed to attain by an applicable 

attainment date or failed to meet 

reasonable further progress related 

requirements. These CM requirements 

are specified in CAA section 172(c)(9) 

for nonattainment areas generally, and 

in CAA section 182(c)(9) for ozone 

nonattainment areas classified Serious 

and higher. 

The guidance document provides a 

broad overview of CM requirements and 

prior EPA guidance (contained in 

section 2 of the CM guidance), much of 

which is unaffected by the updated 

guidance. The document focuses 

primarily on three aspects of CM 

guidance that the EPA is revising or 

updating. Specifically, the revised CM 

guidance: (1) recommends changes to 

the methodology for determining the 

amount of reductions that CMs should 

provide (described in section 3 of the of 

the CM guidance); (2) recommends an 

approach for developing an infeasibility 

justification for an air agency to use if 

it cannot identify feasible CMs in a 

sufficient quantity to produce the 

recommended amount of CM emission 

reductions (described in section 4 of the 

CM guidance); and (3) recommends 

changes to the time period within which 

reductions from CMs should occur 

following a triggering event (described 

in section 5 of the CM guidance). 

The EPA accepted comments on the 

draft guidance from March 23, 2023, 

through April 24, 2023. The EPA 

received comments from 24 entities. All 

comments received by the EPA are 

included in the docket for this guidance. 

The EPA thoroughly considered the 

points raised in the comments in the 

development of this final guidance.
