Applies such requirements with respect to such areas only if the governing board of the responsible local air agency agrees to establish a  local advisory committee to study the feasibility of compliance with such rule.  Requires each feasibility study to address the potential adverse employment impacts of, and the cost of compliance with, such rule for local businesses, agriculture operations, and residents in such areas. Requires such committees to report to such boards on the results of such study no later than five years after such rule is promulgated.
