projected nIture growth in ozone precursor emissions, particularly from stationary, non- road, and on-road mobile sources. o Local area must carefully document modeling approach, and work will be supported and reviewed by the State and concurrently reviewed by the EP A. o Quantifiable emission reduction measures will be integrated into the future case to produce one or more control cases. These control cases will be used to indicate the relative effectiveness of different measures and aid in selecting appropriate measures. o Prior to plan implementation the control strategies should be determined based on model results from a control case episode that shows achievement of the 8-hour ozone standard on or before December 31,2007 through implementation of the control strategies. o Communities will continue to develop other episodes as necessary to fully represent the variety of situations that typically contribute to ozone production in the area and to support the plan with the most current information and tools. Other episodes may also indicate necessary revisions to ensure that sufficient emission reduction measures are selected and implemented to continue to achieve target ozone concentration levels. D. Control Strategies o After all adopted Federal and State or Tribal controls that have been or will be implemented by the attainment date of December 31, 2007 are accounted for in the modeling, the local area will adopt additional local controls, as necessary, to demonstrate attainment of the 8-hour standard by December 31,2007. As an initial matter, by June 16,2003, the local area will identifY and describe the local control measures that will be considered during the local planning process. The June 16,2003 deadline for describing the control measures under consideration must be met to maintain eligibility in the program. While failure to list a measure at this stage would not preclude its adoption later, it is important to develop a reasonably complete initial list of measures. This will provide the public with clear information on the measures under consideration, will help ensure that interested parties are fully aware of the level of effort and local commitment that is necessary, and will demonstrate that the local area is making progress toward meeting the critical March 31,2004 deadline for adoption of local measures. The resulting local plan must be completed and submitted to the State or Tribal leader by March 31, 2004 for inclusion in the State implementation plan. The local plan shall include measures that are specific, quantified, and permanent, and that if approved by EPA, will be Federally enforceable SIP revisions. The March 31,2004 submission also will include specific implementation dates for the adopted local controls, as well as detailed documentation and reporting processes. o Controls will be implemented as soon as practicable, but not later than December 31, 2005. o Controls will be designed and implemented by the community with full stakeholder participation. o All control measures will be incorporated by the state into the State Implementation Plan and submitted to the EPA for review and approval. In the event that areas wish to add or substitute measures after SIP submittal, plan modifications will be treated as SIP revisions and facilitated by the state.
