All other areas in the State are undesignated Monitoring and/or modeling will have to occur to determine which new areas become nonattainment. Modeling will be the default. New designations December 2017 for modeled areas, December 2020 for monitored areas. Attainment dates five years after designations. David Bloomberg 8

Lead: The Agency will soon be proposing lead rules applying in the specific nonattainment areas. Rules will require emissions controls on two specific sources. SO 2 : Extensive modeling has been done to identify all culpable sources of nonattainment within the two NAAs. Discussions with sources have begun. Statewide rule for sulfur content in fuel oil will be proposed. Rules covering specific sources that are impacting the NAAs will be proposed. David Bloomberg 12
PM 2.5 Designation Outreach Meetings Chicago October 23 Collinsville October 29 Rulemaking on Startup, Shutdown, Malfunction (SSM) Provisions in Illinois Startup & Malfunction provisions only Appear throughout SIP-approved rules Only certain SIP-approved rules identified in Notice of Deficiency May require analysis of Illinois and federal regulations Greenhouse Gas Requirements for Power Plants Transport Rule? Cross-State Air Pollution Rule at the Supreme Court. Some version of a Transport rule will come along eventually probably will only impact the largest sources. David Bloomberg 13
