-------
NUMBER OF NONATTAINMENT AREAS
o THE BAR CHARTS IDENTIFY THE NUMBER OF PRIMARY NONATTAINMENT AREAS
(BY POLLUTANT) FOR EACH REGION AND NATIONALLY. NATIONALLY, AS OF
MARCH 31, 1986, THERE WERE 692 PRIMARY NONATTAINMENT AREAS: 364
FOR OZONE, 132 FOR TSP, 13H FOR CO, 54 FOR S02 AND 4 NOX ARE~AS (IN
REGION IX). IN ADDITION, THERE WERE 206 SECONDARY STANDARD
NONATTAINMENT AREAS (191 TSP AND 15 SO2).
o IN ADDITION, THERE ARE A FEW AREAS WHICH ARE IN ATTAINMENT STATUS
BUT HAVE MONITORED VIOLATIONS.
O THE SECOND QUARTER TOTALS ARR SIMILAR TO THE FIRST QUARTER. THERE
IS A DECREASE OF 6 PRIMARY AREAS AND AN INCREASE OF 3 SECONDARY
AREAS DUE TO A FEW REDESIGNATIONS AND REFINEMENTS TO THE ORIGINAL
DATA.
O THE TOTAL NUMBER OF NONATTAINMENT AREAS (898) COMPARES .TO A TOTAL OF
1047 AREAS DURING FEBRUARY 1983.

ACTIONS BEING TAKEN IN NONATTAINMENT AREAS
THE REGIONS AND OAR HAVE COMPLETED AN ANALYSIS OF STATUS AND ACTIONS FOR
THE AREAS IN NONATTAINMENT. THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES GENERALLY OUTLINE
THEIR FINDINGS (THE NUMBERS ARE NOT FINITE, BUT GENERALLY PROVIDE PICTURE
OF STATUS):
o 225 AREAS (28%) ARE FY 1987 EXTENSION AREAS FOR 03 AND CO. THESE
AREAS ARE IMPLEMENTING PLANS TOWARDS THE 12/31/87 ATTAINMENT DEADLINES
o 183 AREAS (20%) ARE COVERED IN THE LIST OF "SIP CALL" AREAS OR ARE
AREAS WITH OUTSTANDING SIP CONDITIONS.

REQUESTED (77) OR WHERE ATTAINMENT HAS BEEN REACHED AND THE REGIONS
EXPECT A REQUEST FOR REDESIGNATION (63).
o 116 (13%) ARE PARTICULATE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN ESSENTIALLY "ON HOLD"
AWAITING PROMULGATION OF PM10.
O 82 (9%) ARE AREAS WHERE THE SIP IS FULLY APPROVED.
o 72 AREAS (8%) FALL UNDER THE DEFINITION OF RURAL OZONE GENERALLY
MEANING THAT THEIR STATUS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE UNTIL UPWIND (URBAN)
AREAS CONTROL EMISSIONS.
o 14 (2%) AREAS (13 OZONE) ARE NOT ATTAINING THE STANDARD BUT THEIR
LEVELS ARE BELOW THE "CUT POINT" FOR REQUESTING A REVISED SIP.
o 13 (1%) ARE AREAS SUBJECT TO ANALYSIS UNDER THE REVISED STACK HEIGHT
RULES.
o THE REMAINING AREAS (ABOUT 50) ARE UNCLASSIFIED WITHIN THE ABOVE
BREAKOUT.

THE FIRST QUARTER. ONLY 40 OF THESE PLANS WERE SUBMITTED IN THE
FIRST QUARTER. DURING THE SECOND QUARTER THREE ADDITIONAL PLANS
WERE RECEIVED. TWELVE PLANS HAVE NOT BEEN SUBMITTED.
- ONLY STATES IN REGION I, IV, AND VII HAVE SUBMITTED ALL REQUIRED PLANS,
- LARGEST SHORTFALL IS IN REGION X (ONLY 1 OF 4).
REGIONS II, III, V AND VI ARE EACH MISSING ONE PLAN. REGIONS VIII
AND IX LACK TWO PLANS.
o REGIONS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO SUBMIT MONTHLY REPORTS TO OAR ON PROGRESS
TOWARD COMPLETION OF ACTION ITEMS IN STATE PLANS. ONLY REGION I HAS
FULLY MET COMMITMENT.
-------
PERCENT OF SIP ACTIONS PROCESSED ON TIME (HQ)
O HO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 143 SIP ACTIONS IN THE SECOND QUARTER. THE
TOTAL INCLUDES 79 NEWLY DUE ACTIONS AND 64 DUE FROM THE PREVIOUS
OUARTER(S).
o PROCESSING RATES FOR NEWLY DUE ACTIONS (EXCLUDING ACTIONS "ON HOLD"

SUIT (2), VOC COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE (16), AND BLOCK VS RUNNING ISSUES
(7).
- OAQPS HAS SET AN APRIL 30 TARGET DATE TO PROCESS THE 26 SIPS ON
HOLD FOR EMISSIONS TRADING AND HAS STARTED PROCESSING THE
BLOCK VS RUNNING SIPS.
- THE HIGH PRIORITY BEING PLACED ON THE "ON HOLD" SIPS HAS RESULTED
IN DELAYS IN PROCESSING NEWLY DUE SIPS.

TIMELY REPORTING OF NAMS DATA
O NATIONALLY, REPORTING RATES CONTINUED TO FALL FROM THE IMPROVED
RATES OF LAST YEAR. RATES FOR CONTINUOUS ANALYZERS (85%) AND PRECISION
AND ACCURACY (70%) REPORTING FELL THREE AND FOUR PERCENT RESPECTIVELY.
INTEGRATED SAMPLER RATES REMAINED THE SAME AT 82 PERCENT.
o REGIONAL RATES FELL IN EIGHT REGIONS AS ONLY TWO REGIONS SHOWED
IMPROVEMENT.
- REGION X SHOWED A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT WITH GAINS IN ALL THREE
CATEGORIES TO RANK 3RD OVERALL AMONG THE REGIONS.
- REGION VII ALSO SHOWED SOME IMPROVEMENT OVERALL.
o REGIONS I AND III, WHILE HAVING MODEST DECREASES, CONTINUE TO BE THE
TOP PERFORMERS.
O REGIONS VIII AND IX WERE THE LOWEST PERFORMERS:
- REGION VIII WHICH HAD IMPROVED STEADILY OVER TH F, LAST YEAR SHOWED
LARGE DROPS (30+%) IN ALL CATEGORIES DUE TO LATE REPORTING FROM
UTAH .
PMm MONITORING NETWORK DEVELOPMENT
o OAR IS TRACKING EFFORTS TO OPERATIONALI'ZE PM^Q MONITORS IN FY 1986.
- 83% OF THE 662 EPA SUPPLIED SAMPLERS WERE IN OPERATION BY THE END

STATUS OF MOBILE SOURCE PROGRAMS
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW ANTI-TAMPERING PROGRAMS
o THERR HAVE BEEN EIGHT NEW ANTI-TAMPERING PROGRAMS INITIATED AGAINST
, A SECOND QUARTER TARGET OF FOUR. DURING THE SECOND QUARTER PROGRAMS
WERE STARTED IN DALLAS, FORT WORTH, EL PASO, TULSA, BAKERSFIELD,
AND MEDFORD (THESE PROGRAMS WERE PART OF NEW I/M PROGRAMS).
o OAR'S CURRENT ESTIMATE FOR COMPLETING THE ANTI-TAMPERING RACT POLICY
GUIDANCE IS 11/28/86.
STATUS OF I/M PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
o NATIONALLY THERE ARE 50 I/M PROGRAMS OPERATING. THIS INCLUDES SEVEN
NEW STARTS IN FY 1986 (DETROIT, TULSA, BAKERSFIELD, DALLAS, FORT WORTH,
EL PASO, AND MEDFORD).
o THERE ARE TEN I/M PROGRAMS REQUIRED BUT NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. TWO OF
THESE PROGRAMS HAVE SANCTIONS (CINCINATTI SUBURBS, KY. AND ALBUQUERQUE,
N.M.). ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE PROJECTED START DATES IN EITHER 1986
OR 1987.
COMPLETION OF I/M AUDITS
o THE REGIONS HAVE CONDUCTED NINE I/M AUDITS AND ONE FOLLOW-UP AUDIT
THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER EXCEEDING THEIR TARGET BY,TWO.
STATUS OF EFFORTS TO REMEDY CRITICAL I/M OPERATING PROBLEMS
o THE REGIONS HAVE COMMITTED TO CORRECT 16 I/M OPERATING PROBLEMS FOUND
DURING RECENT I/M AUDITS. THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER QMS HAS DETERMINED
THAT FIVE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REMEDIED AGALNST A TARGET OF TWO. THE
PROBLEMS REMEDIED WERE IN MASS., IND., TEX., MO., AND COLO.

AIR TOXICS STATUS
STATUS OF TARGETED REFERRAL PROGRAM
MEETINGS HAVE BEEN HELD WITH STAPPA/ALAPCO TO REACH AGREEMENT ON SPECIFIC
CRITERIA FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM. WHILE THERE IS SOME SUPPORT FOR
THE GENERAL CONCEPT, EPA AND THE STATES WERE UNABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT
ON THE REFERRAL PROGRAM. THE STATES INSIST ON FEDERAL BACK-UP AND
CONSISTENCY IN CASES WHERE STATES DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH ON A REFERRAL.
SINCE EPA FEELS THIS APPROACH WOULD BE AN INAPPROPRIATE USE OF LIMITED
REGULATORY RESOURCES, OAR HAS DECIDED TO REORIENT THE PROGRAM TO FOCUS
ON THE BROADER GOAL OF ENHANCING STATE AIR TOXICS PROGRAMS WITH EMPHASIS
ON POINT SOURCES. STATES WOULD BE EXPECTED TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE ON
NON-NESHAP POINT SOURCES THAT ARE OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE BUT NOT THROUGH
SPECIFIC REFERRALS. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED INFORMALLY FOR
SEVERAL SOURCES OF POLLUTANTS WHICH EPA HAS DECIDED NOT- TO REGULATE.
OAR WILL DISCUSS THIS APPROACH SOON WITH STAPPA AND ALAPCO AND THEN
ALLOCATE, THROUGH THE REGIONS, ABOUT $200,000 IN PROGRAM GRANT FUNDS
HELD IN RESERVE FOR THIS PURPOSE.
-------
SURVEY OF THE STATUS OF STATE AND LOCAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAMS
o RESPONSES RECEIVED FROM 55 STATES/TERRITORIES AND 30 LOCALS.
o TWELVE STATES OR LOCALS IDENTIFIED EITHER A REGULATORY PROGRAM OR
ARE MOVING (WITH SOME CERTAINTY) TOWARDS A PROGRAM.
- NEW JERSEY ONLY AGENCY WITH FORMAL, LARGE REGULATORY PROGRAM NOW
IN PLACE.
4 STATES (TEX., LA., OKLA., OHIO) HAVE INFORMAL PROGRAMS GENERALLY
ON PERMIT REVIEW FOR SELECTED SOURCES.
- 6 STATES AND ONE LOCAL HAVE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS UNDERWAY (CAL.,
SOUTH COAST DISTRICT, N.Y., FLA., CONN., MASS., ILL.).
o IN ADDITION TO THE PROGRAMS FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION ABOUT HALF OF THE AIR
AGENCIES REPORT CONNECTIONS TO PREVENTION PROGRAMS THROUGH THEIR MALFUNCTION
REGULATIONS WHICH GENERALLY INVOLVE ONLY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
o ABOUT HALF OF THE AIR AGENCIES ARE PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO
CEPP AND OTHER AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS.
O SOME INFORMATION ON RESOURCES BEING EXPENDED WAS PROVIDED. ABOUT
$2.2 MILLION IS A BEST GUESS FOR THE AGENCIES REPORTING, NOT*COUNTING
POTENTIALLY LARGE EXPENDITURES IN CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS.
-------
AIR COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS AND COMPLIANCE RATES
o THE REGIONS GENERALLY MET OR EXCEEDED THEIR INSPECTION TARGETS
DURING THE SECOND QUARTER WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS:
- REGIONS I, VII, AND X WHICH MET 80%, 32%, AND 90% OF THEIR NSPS
TARGETS, RESPECTIVELY.'
- REGION IX ADDRESSED 86% OF THEIR TARGETED NESHAP SOURCES AND
REGION VII DID NOT ADDRESS ANY.
o COMPLIANCE RATES FOR CLASS Al SIPS DECLINED SLIGHTLY FROM 89% TO
88%. THIS IS DUE LARGELY TO A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE INVENTORY
IN REGION V, AND A RECLASSIFICATION EFFORT IN ILLINOIS.
o COMPLIANCE RATES FOR NSPS AND NESHAP REMAIN STEADY AT 90% AND 87%.
NOTE: THIS IS THE FIRST REPORTING UNDER THE ONE QUARTER DATA LAG
INSTITUTED IN FY 1986.

RCRA FACILITY MANAGEMENT PLANNING
THE HAZARDOUS AND SOLID WASTE AMENDMENTS OF 1984 REQUIRE EPA AND THE
STATES TO PERMIT ALL ACTIVE LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES BY NOVEMBER 1988.
IN ADDITION, EPA AND THE STATES MUST REVIEW CLOSURE PLANS AND CLEAN
CLOSURE CERTIFICATIONS FOR ALL LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES. THIS MEASURE
TRACKS INITIAL SCREENS AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY
SIGNIFICANT LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES, WHETHER ACTIVE OR CLOSED. ONCE
IDENTIFIED AS ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT, A FACILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
IS PREPARED TO ENSURE COORDINATION AND JOINT PLANNING BETWEEN STATE AND
REGIONAL PERMITTING, ENFORCEMENT, SUPERFUND AND OTHER APPROPRIATE
PERSONNEL.
o THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 1456 LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES WHICH REQUIRED
INITIAL SCREENS BY JANUARY 31, 1986. TO DETERMINE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL
SIGNIFICANCE. THE REGIONS AND STATES HAVE COMPLETED 1347 INITIAL
SCREENS SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION. THIS IS 93% OF THE ESTIMATED
1456 LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES. 109 FACILITIES REMAIN TO HAVE INITIAL
SCREENS COMPLETED.
o 1192 LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES, OR 88% OF THOSE INITIALLY SCREENED,
HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AND WILL REQUIRE
FACILITY MANAGEMENT PLANS BY JULY 31, 1986. 147 FACILITY MANAGEMENT

PROCUREMENT SERVICE STANDARDS
o DURING THE SECOND QUARTER, OARM AV-JARDED 40% OF EPA'S MAJOR NEGOTIATED
CONTRACTS WITHIN THE PROCESSING TIME TARGET. THIS PERFORMANCE
REFLECTS A CONSIDERABLE DROP FROM 72% ON TIME IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
AS IT DID LAST YEAR, WORKLOAD INCREASED ABOUT 10% FROM FIRST TO
SECOND QUARTER.
- ONLY 12 OF THE 27 NEW COMPETITIVE CONTRACTS WERE AWARDED WITHIN
THE STANDARD SCHEDULE OF 225 TO 240 DAYS OR WITHIN A NEGOTIATED
SCHEDULE. SEVEN OF THE 15 LATE CONTRACTS WERE DELAYED WITHIN OARM.
- ONLY 5 OF THE 16 NEW SOLE SOURCE CONTRACTS WERE AWARDED WITHIN
THE LIMIT OF 171 DAYS. SIX OF THE 11 LATE CONTRACTS WERE HELD UP
IN OARM.
o PROCUREMENT HAS ISSUED 25% FEWER SOLE SOURCE CONTRACTS YEAR-TO-DATE
THAN IN THE SECOND QUARTER FY 19«5, AND EXPECTS THE VOLUME OF SOLE SOURCE
CONTRACTS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL AS EMPHASIS INCREASES ON COMPETITIVELY
AWARDED CONTRACTS.
o EIGHTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF ALL SMALL PURCHASES WERE AWARDED WITHIN
THE STANDARD. PERFORMANCE WAS DOWN 8% FROM LAST QUARTER. OARM
ATTRIBUTES THE DROP TO A 40% INCREASE IN WORKLOAD AND TO EMPLOYEE
TRAINING DURING THE SECOND QUARTER.

DURING THE SECOND QUARTER.
o IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THE BACKLOG OF OVERDUE AUDITS REMAINS VERY

NEPA COMPLIANCE
o THESE MEASURES SHOW AGENCY EFFORTS TO COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT, BY PERFORMING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS AND
WRITING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS (EIS). SECTION 309 MEASURES
SHOW HOW EPA ASSISTS OTHER AGENCIES IN MEETING THEIR NEPA OBLIGATIONS.
EPA NEPA ACTIONS;
o 'IN THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS, 8 OF A TOTAL OF 78 NEPA ACTIONS ENDED IN A
CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION. 64 RESULTED IN FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT AFTER ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS BY DELEGATED STATES OR REGIONS.
EPA REGIONS ISSUED 5 FINAL EISs AND 1 DRAFT EIS. MOST EPA .NEPA
ACTIONS INVOLVE CONSTRUCTION GRANTS.
NEPA RELATED SUPPORT (TO EPA PROGRAM OFFICES AND TO OUTSIDE AGENCIES);
o OEA HAS RESPONDED TO 53 OF 62 REQUESTS THIS YEAR FOR ASSISTANCE TO
HELP EPA PROGRAMS WORKING TO FULFILL VOLUNTARY EIS AND NEPA FUNCTIONAL
EQUIVALENCY RESPONSIBILITIES. OEA HAS NOT TARGETED FOR A RESPONSE RATE
o EPA HAS RESPONDED TO 1 OF 7 REQUESTS THIS YEAR TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER
FEDERAL AGENCIES WRITING ENVIRONMENTAL, IMPACT STATEMENTS. OEA
CONTRACT MONIES FOR GEOLOGISTS AND GROUNDWATER EXPERTS TO HELP WRITE
EISS HAVE BEEN CUT; THE LOW LEVEL OF RESPONSE TO THESE REQUESTS
REFLECTS THE LOWERED FUNDING LEVEL.
