without taking into consideration the cost-effectiveness of such control 
strategy in relation to that of alternative control strategies.

specified in this part for purposes of estimating air quality or 
demonstrating the adequacy of a control strategy, provided that such

adopting or enforcing any emission limitations or other measures or 
combinations thereof to attain and maintain air quality better than that

applicable throughout a region unless there is no satisfactory 
alternative way of providing for attainment and maintenance of a 
national standard throughout such region.
