Whenever EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each such NAAQS. KDAQ certified that the Kentucky SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Kentucky.

disabilities in order to access or participate in required pre-
employment transition services under section 113(b) of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and (2) announce a change in
