* The final CSAPR divides the states required to reduce SO2 into two groups. Both groups must reduce their SO2 emissions beginning in Phase I. Group 1 states must make significant additional reductions in SO2 emissions for Phase II in order to eliminate their significant contribution to air quality problems in downwind areas.
