    When the Assistant Secretary determines that any alteration in the 
Federal program could have an adverse impact on the ``at least as 
effective as'' status of the State program, a program change supplement 
to a State plan shall be required. Examples of Federal program changes 
that would require a supplement include promulgation or modification of 
standards, including emergency temporary standards; revisions in 
enforcement policies or procedures; and legislative or regulatory 
changes in the Federal program, including recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements. A Federal program change that would either not affect or 
that would result in no diminution of the effectiveness of a State plan, 
generally would not require action by the States.
