Executive Officer
The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update of AQMD’s rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Scheduling changes which occurred since last month’s forecast are summarized. The current schedule reflects the staff’s court filing for the lawsuit brought by environmental groups relative to the 1994 Air Quality Management Plan. However, the rulemaking schedule contained herein is subject to change based on the outcome of the litigation. Some measures may need to be delayed to allow room to incorporate additional measures that may be ordered to be implemented by the court in the SIP litigation case.
