U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 7424. Assurance of adequacy of State plans
(a) State review of implementation plans which relate to major fuel
burning sources
As expeditiously as practicable but not later than one year after
August 7, 1977, each State shall review the provisions of its
implementation plan which relate to major fuel burning sources and
shall determine -
(1) the extent to which compliance with requirements of such
plan is dependent upon the use by major fuel burning stationary
sources of petroleum products or natural gas,
(2) the extent to which such plan may reasonably be anticipated
to be inadequate to meet the requirements of this chapter in such
State on a reliable and long-term basis by reason of its
dependence upon the use of such fuels, and
(3) the extent to which compliance with the requirements of
such plan is dependent upon use of coal or coal derivatives which
is not locally or regionally available.
Each State shall submit the results of its review and its
determination under this paragraph to the Administrator promptly
upon completion thereof.
(b) Plan revision
(1) Not later than eighteen months after August 7, 1977, the
Administrator shall review the submissions of the States under
subsection (a) of this section and shall require each State to
revise its plan if, in the judgment of the Administrator, such plan
revision is necessary to assure that such plan will be adequate to
assure compliance with the requirements of this chapter in such
State on a reliable and long-term basis, taking into account the
actual or potential prohibitions on use of petroleum products or
natural gas, or both, under any other authority of law.
(2) Before requiring a plan revision under this subsection, with
respect to any State the Administrator shall take into account the
report of the review conducted by such State under paragraph (1)
and shall consult with the Governor of the State respecting such
required revision.
