affected by the plan.	1.  Section 2 of the certification identifies that
VOC and NOx RACT rules are the subject of the certification.	  X

2. Identification 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.  The certification
covers all the sources in the Philadelphia County portion of the
Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City 8-hour ozone nonattainment area..	
 

  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.  Revision certifies existing
RACT rules in the SIP.  No change in emissions is expected.	 X

standards, prevention of significant deterioration increments,
reasonable further progress demonstration, and visibility, as

used, meteorological data used, justification for use of offsite data
(where used), modes of models used, assumptions, and other information
