                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 51--REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARATION, ADOPTION, AND SUBMITTAL OF 
IMPLEMENTATION PLANS--Table of Contents
 
                       Subpart G--Control Strategy
 
Sec. 51.115  Air quality data and projections.

    (a) Each plan must contain a summary of data showing existing air 
quality.
    (b) Each plan must:
    (1) Contain a summary of air quality concentrations expected to 
result from application of the control strategy, and
    (2) Identify and describe the dispersion model, other air quality 
model, or receptor model used.
    (c) Actual measurements of air quality must be used where available 
if made by methods specified in appendix C to part 58 of this chapter. 
Estimated air quality using appropriate modeling techniques may be used 
to supplement measurements.
    (d) For purposes of developing a control strategy, background 
concentration shall be taken into consideration with respect to 
particulate matter. As used in this subpart, background concentration is 
that portion of the measured ambient levels that cannot be reduced by 
controlling emissions from man-made sources.
    (e) In developing an ozone control strategy for a particular area, 
background ozone concentrations and ozone transported into an area must 
be considered. States may assume that the ozone standard will be 
attained in upwind areas.
