Provided that the monitors in the area reflect attainment by December 31, 2007, the EPA will move expeditiously to designate the area as attainment and impose no additional requirements. If at any time the area does not meet all the terms of this Compact, including meeting agreed- upon milestones, then it will forfeit its participation and its designation (or re-designation if necessary) will become effective according to the EP A's 8- hour ozone implementation guidelines. The EP A will offer such an area no delays, exemptions or other favorable treatment because of its previous participation in this program. If the area violates the standard as of December 31,2007, and the area has had the effective date of its nonattainment designation deferred, the area's nonattainment designation will become effective. The state will then submit a revised attainment demonstration SIP revision according to the CAA and the EPA's 8-hour implementation rule, lmless the 8-hour implementation schedule requires SIP's from 8- hour nonattainment areas before December 31, 2008. In that event, a revised attainment demonstration SIP revision for the participating area will be due as soon as possible but no later than December 31, 2008. In no event will the EP A extend the attainment date for the area beyond that required by the CAA and! or the EP A's 8- hour implementation rule. No area will be allowed to renew their Early Action Compact after December 31, 2007, or initiate a new compact if it has previously forfeited its participation.
