discussed
below
in
section
5
(
the
discussion
of
the
timing
of
submission
of
the
RFP
plan)
the

would
have

segment
1.
Final
rule
for
8­
hour
areas
comprised
in
total
of
one
or
more
1­
hour
nonattainment
areas
with
approved
15
percent
plans
for
the
1­
hour
standard.
Those
8­
hour
areas
that
are
composed
entirely
of
one
or
more
1­
hour
areas
that
have
approved
15
percent
plans
for
their
1­
hour
ozone
SIPs,
will
be
considered
to
have
met
the
15
percent
VOC
requirement
in
section
182(
b)(
1).
Such
areas
that
are
classified
as
moderate
would
instead
be
subject
to
the
more
general
RFP
requirements
of
subpart
1.
As
discussed
below,
the
subpart
1
requirement
would
depend
on
the
moderate
area's
attainment
date
as
follows:
°
Moderate
areas
that
have
an
attainment
date
within
5
years
after
their
8­
hour
designation,
for
which
all
portions
of
the
area
have
previously
met
their
15
percent
requirements
under
the
1­
hour
standard,
will
be
subject
to
subpart
1
RFP
requirements,
which
will
be
satisfied
with
measures
that
demonstrate
attainment
as
expeditiously
as
practicable.
°
Subpart
2Moderate
areas
that
have
an
attainment
date
beyond
5
years
after
their
8­
hour
designation,
for
which
all
portions
of
the
area
have
previously
met
their
15
percent
requirements
under
the
1­
hour
standard,
will
be
subject
to
subpart
1
RFP
requirements,
which
will
be
satisfied
with
a
plan
to
demonstrate
15
percent
emission
reductions
(
which
may
be
either
VOC
or
NOx
or
a
combination
of
both)
from
2002
to
2008,
and
any
additional
emission
reductions
needed
for
attainment
beyond
2008.
Such
areas
that
are
classified
as
serious
or
above
would
be
subject
to
the
RFP
requirements
of
section
182(
c)(
2)(
B)
and
would
need
to
submit
a
plan
achieving
an
average
of
3
percent
reductions
per
year
over
the
6
years
following
the
baseline
year
and
then
an
average
of
3
percent
per
year
for
each
subsequent
3­
year
period
out
to
the
attainment
year.
