21 areas of the State of Illinois, except the Chicago, St. Louis
22 (Illinois) and Peoria major metropolitan areas, in accordance
23 with the following requirements:
24         (1) that are required by federal law; Such regulations

SB1419 Enrolled - 3 - LRB095 01629 CMK 21631 b

1     Standards for Sulfur Dioxide" and within a reasonable time
2     attain and maintain the "Secondary National Ambient Air

19 in such areas classified as moderate nonattainment areas for
20 ozone if the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection
