NACAA-ECOS-EPA SIP Reform Workgroup: Background, Mission and Process Nancy Kruger Deputy Director NACAA NACAA Spring Membership Meeting, May 23, 2011

Background and Mission of the Workgroup  Collaborative NACAA-ECOS-EPA initiative established in June 2010 to address long-standing SIP process issues  Mission: “To make the SIP process more efficient and effective while ensuring the fulfillment of statutory responsibilities to attain the NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable”  Agreed from outset to focus only on measures that do not require Clean Air Act changes  Three main components 1) Potential SIP Reforms 2) State-Local Toolkit 3) Enhanced Federal Measures

Workgroup Members and Process  Workgroup members include NACAA, ECOS and EPA representatives from Sacramento, CANevada EPA HQ Linn County, IA New York EPA Regions III & VII KentuckyOhio ECOS HQ MarylandSouth Carolina NACAA HQ New MexicoWisconsin  Process  Workgroup conference calls twice a month  Periodic updates for and feedback sought from NACAA and ECOS members at key points

Potential SIP Reforms  Workgroup compiled prioritized list of 13 potential improvements to the SIP process based on recommendations from  CAAAC  States and localities  EPA HQ and regional staff  Sought feedback on the list from NACAA and ECOS members

Potential SIP Reforms – List of 13 1) Timely issuance of guidance 2) No unnecessary documentation for redesignation and maintenance plan submittals 3) Regional approaches to SIP planning 4) Increased use of WOE 5) Alignment of SIP submittal dates 6) Improved communications 7) Protocol/checklist for attainment SIP development 8) Letter approval for minor SIP revisions 9) Simplified reporting for innovative and voluntary measures 10) Training 11) State determination of how to seek public comment on SIP amendments 12) Electronic SIP submittals 13) Online database/tracker of approved SIPs and SIP submittals

Potential SIP Reforms – Progress to Date  Initiative represents a true collaborative partnership  Discussions illuminate and heighten awareness of the challenges of SIP development, submittal and processing  EPA is listening carefully to states and localities and is committed to being responsive  We’re making headway on a number of issues  Marcia and John will elaborate

Remaining Two Components of Our Mission  State-Local Toolkit – Compilation of SIP “best practices” from across the country that have been demonstrated to reduce the time and resources historically associated with state and local SIP preparation and EPA approval.  Enhanced Federal Measures – Pursue development and promulgation by EPA of rigorous federal measures to reduce ozone and PM and their precursors; explore the viability of other national strategies from which states and localities could benefit.
