The State Planning Electronic Collaboration System (SPeCS) for SIPs is a user-friendly, web-based system that enables state air agencies to officially submit state implementation plans (SIPs) and associated information electronically for review and approval to meet their Clean Air Act obligations related to attaining and maintaining the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). SPeCS for SIPs is EPA’s preferred method for receiving such submissions. EPA has worked extensively with state air agency representatives and partnered with E-Enterprise for the Environment and the Environmental Council of the States to develop an integrated electronic submission, review and tracking system for State Implementation Plans (SIPs).
The Required State Implementation Plan Elements Dashboard provides details about individual states’ Clean Air Act and regulatory planning requirements associated with implementing, attaining, and maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) through SIPs. The dashboard includes information for nonattainment and maintenance areas for current and revoked NAAQS. Information in the dashboard can be filtered by state, NAAQS, area, plan category, and specific SIP element. When viewing information about a specific SIP element, the history of EPA actions on the element is displayed at the bottom of the page. For more information about the required SIP elements visit: Air Quality Implementation Plans.
