(d) Identification of areas or regions with state implementation plans requiring approval by the United States environmental protection agency if state stage II gasoline vapor recovery system requirements are revised;

(e) The need for revisions to state implementation plans approved by the United States environmental protection agency, should state requirements change; and

(f) The applicability requirements of stage II gasoline vapor recovery systems.
