State Planning Electronic Collaboration System (SPeCS) Regional Managers
The State Planning Electronic Collaboration System (SPeCS) for SIPs is a web-based system that enables state air agencies to submit draft and official 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 state submissions.
