assessment monitoring network description including a schedule for 
implementation to the Administrator within 6 months after;
    (1) February 12, 1993; or
    (2) Date of redesignation or reclassification of any existing 
O3 nonattainment area to serious, severe, or extreme; or
    (3) The designation of a new area and classification to serious, 
severe, or extreme O3 nonattainment.

The network description will apply to all serious, severe, and extreme 
O3 nonattainment areas within the State. Some O3 
nonattainment areas may extend beyond State or Regional boundaries. In 
instances where PAMS network design criteria as defined in appendix D to 
this part require monitoring stations located in different States and/or 
Regions, the network description and implementation schedule should be 
submitted jointly by the States involved. When appropriate, such 
cooperation and joint network design submittals are preferred. Network 
descriptions shall be submitted through the appropriate Regional 
Office(s). Alternative networks, including different monitoring 
schedules, periods, or methods, may be submitted, but they must include 
a demonstration that they satisfy the monitoring data uses and fulfill 
the PAMS monitoring objectives described in sections 4.1 and 4.2 of 
appendix D to this part.
    (b) For purposes of plan development and approval, the stations 
established or designated as PAMS must be stations from the SLAMS 
network or become part of the SLAMS network required by Sec. 58.20.
    (c) The requirements of appendix D to this part applicable to PAMS 
must be met when designing the PAMS network.
