In addition to amounts previously appropriated 1-5 for the current fiscal biennium, the sum of $2,928,000 is 1-6 appropriated for the period ending August 31, 1993, from the clean 1-7 air fund to the Texas Air Control Board for the purpose of 1-8 conducting field and emission inventory studies to support 1-9 development of cost-effective, federally required ozone control 1-10 plans for ozone nonattainment areas. 1-11 SECTION 2.
