Sec. 7424. Assurance of adequacy of State plans


(a) State review of implementation plans which relate to major fuel 
        burning sources

    As expeditiously as practicable but not later than one year after 
August 7, 1977, each State shall review the provisions of its 
implementation plan which relate to major fuel burning sources and shall 
determine--
        (1) the extent to which compliance with requirements of such 
    plan is dependent upon the use by major fuel burning stationary 
    sources of petroleum products or natural gas,
        (2) the extent to which such plan may reasonably be anticipated 
    to be inadequate to meet the requirements of this chapter in such 
    State on a reliable and long-term basis by reason of its dependence 
    upon the use of such fuels, and
        (3) the extent to which compliance with the requirements of such 
    plan is dependent upon use of coal or coal derivatives which is not 
    locally or regionally available.

Each State shall submit the results of its review and its determination 
under this paragraph to the Administrator promptly upon completion 
thereof.

(b) Plan revision

    (1) Not later than eighteen months after August 7, 1977, the 
Administrator shall review the submissions of the States under 
subsection (a) of this section and shall require each State to revise 
its plan if, in the judgment of the Administrator, such plan revision is 
necessary to assure that such plan will be adequate to assure compliance 
with the requirements of this chapter in such State on a reliable and 
long-term basis, taking into account the actual or potential 
prohibitions on use of petroleum products or natural gas, or both, under 
any other authority of law.
    (2) Before requiring a plan revision under this subsection, with 
respect to any State the Administrator shall take into account the 
report of the review conducted by such State under paragraph (1) and 
shall consult with the Governor of the State respecting such required 
revision.
