ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9121–1] 

Official Release of the MOVES2010 

Motor Vehicle Emissions Model for 

Emissions Inventories in SIPs and 

Transportation Conformity 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving and 

announcing the availability of the Motor 

Vehicle Emissions Simulator model 

(MOVES2010) for official use outside of 

California. MOVES2010 is the state-ofthe-art upgrade to EPA’s modeling tools 

for estimating emissions from cars, 

trucks, motorcycles, and buses, based on 

analysis of millions of emission test 

results and considerable advances in the 

Agency’s understanding of vehicle 

emissions. 

Today’s notice approves the use of 

MOVES2010 in official State 

implementation air quality plan (SIP) 

submissions to EPA and for certain 

transportation conformity analyses 

outside of California. This notice starts 

a two-year grace period before the 

MOVES2010 emission model is required 

to be used in new regional emissions 

analyses for transportation conformity 

determinations outside of California. 

EPA is not approving MOVES2010 for 

project-level transportation conformity 

hot-spot analyses at this time; the 

Agency will approve the model for such 

analyses in the near future in a separate 

Federal Register notice when guidance 

is finalized. 

EPA strongly encourages areas to use 

the interagency consultation process to 

examine how MOVES2010 will affect 

future transportation plan and 

transportation improvement program 

(TIP) conformity determinations so, if 

necessary, SIPs and motor vehicle 

emissions budgets can be revised with 

MOVES2010 or transportation plans and 

TIPs can be revised as appropriate prior 

to the end of the MOVES2010 

conformity grace period. EPA also 

encourages State and local air agencies 

to consider how the release of 

MOVES2010 will affect analyses 

supporting SIP submissions under 

development. 

DATES: EPA’s approval of the 

MOVES2010 emissions model for SIPs 

and regional emissions analyses for 

transportation conformity is effective 

March 2, 2010. As discussed further 

below, today’s approval also starts a 

two-year transportation conformity 

grace period which ends on March 2, 

2012, after which MOVES2010 is 

required to be used for new regional 

emissions analyses for transportation 

conformity.

I. What Is MOVES2010? 

MOVES2010 is the state-of-the-art 

upgrade to EPA’s modeling tools for 

estimating emissions from highway 

vehicles, based on analysis of millions 

of emission test results and considerable 

advances in the Agency’s understanding 

of vehicle emissions. Today’s notice 

approves MOVES2010 as EPA’s official 

motor vehicle emissions factor model 

for estimating volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides 

(NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), direct 

particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and 

other precursors from cars, trucks, 

buses, and motorcycles by State and 

local agencies for SIP purposes and 

regional emissions analyses for 

transportation conformity outside of 

California. For these purposes, 

MOVES2010 replaces the previous 

emissions model, MOBILE6.2, which 

was released in 2004 (69 FR 28830).1

MOVES2010 improves upon 

MOBILE6.2 in several key respects. For 

example, MOVES2010 is based on a 

review of the vast amount of in-use 

vehicle data collected and analyzed 

since the release of MOBILE6.2, 

including millions of emissions 

measurements from light-duty vehicles. 

Analysis of this data has enhanced 

EPA’s understanding of how on-road 

mobile sources contribute to emissions 

inventories, and has also improved the 

agency’s understanding of the relative 

effectiveness of various control 

strategies. MOVES2010 has a databasecentered design that allows users much 

greater flexibility in organizing input 

and output data. This structure also 

allows EPA to update emissions data 

incorporated in MOVES2010 more 

easily. 

MOVES2010 includes the capability 

to estimate vehicle exhaust and 

evaporative emissions as well as brake 

wear and tire wear emissions for criteria 

pollutants and precursors. However, 

MOVES2010 does not include the 

capability to estimate emissions of reentrained road dust. To estimate 

emissions from re-entrained road dust, 

practitioners should continue to use the 

latest approved methodologies.2

II. SIP Policy for MOVES2010 

EPA has articulated its policy 

regarding the use of MOVES2010 in SIP 

development in its ‘‘Policy Guidance on 

the Use of MOVES2010 for State 

Implementation Plan Development, 

Transportation Conformity, and Other 

Purposes’’ (EPA–420–B–09–046, 

December 2009). Today’s notice 

highlights certain aspects of the 

guidance, but State and local 

governments should refer to the 

guidance for more detailed information 

on how and when to use MOVES2010 

in reasonable further progress SIPs, 

attainment demonstrations, 

maintenance plans, inventory updates, 

and other SIP submission requirements. 

Although MOVES2010 should be 

used in SIP development as 

expeditiously as possible, EPA also 

recognizes the time and effort that States 

have already undertaken in SIP 

development using MOBILE6.2. SIPs 

that EPA has already approved are not 

required to be revised solely based on 

existence of the new model. States that 

have already submitted SIPs or will 

submit SIPs shortly after EPA’s approval 

of MOVES2010 are not required to 

revise these SIPs simply because a new 

motor vehicle emissions model is now 

available. States can choose to use 

MOVES2010 in these SIPs, for example, 

if it is determined that it is appropriate 

to update motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (‘‘budgets’’) with the 

MOVES2010 model for future 

conformity determinations. However, 

EPA does not believe that a State’s use 

of MOBILE6.2 should be an obstacle to 

EPA approval for SIPs that have been or 

will soon be submitted, assuming that 

such SIPs are otherwise approvable and 

significant SIP work has already 

occurred (e.g., attainment modeling for 

an attainment SIP has already been 

completed with MOBILE6.2). It would 

be unreasonable in such cases to require 

States to revise these SIPs with 

MOVES2010 since significant work has 

already occurred, and EPA intends to 

act on these SIPs in a timely manner. 

States should use MOVES2010 where 

SIP development is in its initial stages 

or hasn’t progressed far enough along 

that switching to MOVES2010 would 

create a significantly adverse impact on 

State resources. For example, States 

(except California) that will be 

developing on-road mobile source 

inventories for 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS SIPs should base those 

inventories on MOVES2010. EPA 

designated nonattainment areas for this 

NAAQS on November 13, 2009 (74 FR 

58688), which should give State and 

local agencies time to incorporate 

MOVES2010 into SIP submissions for 

this NAAQS. MOVES2010 should be 

incorporated into these and other SIPs, 

as appropriate, since MOVES2010 

emissions estimates are based on the 

best information currently available, as 

required by Clean Air Act section 

172(c)(3) and 40 CFR 51.112(a)(1). 

III. Transportation Conformity Policy 

for MOVES2010 

EPA is establishing a two-year grace 

period before MOVES2010 is required 

for new transportation plan and TIP 

conformity determinations and regional 

emissions analyses. This grace period 

begins today and ends March 2, 2012. 

The remainder of this section describes 

how the transportation conformity grace 

period was determined and summarizes 

how it will be implemented, including 

those circumstances when the grace 

period could be shorter than two years. 

However, for complete explanations of 

how MOVES2010 is to be implemented 

for transportation conformity, including 

details about using MOVES2010 during 

the grace period, refer to ‘‘Policy 

Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for 

State Implementation Plan 

Development, Transportation 

Conformity, and Other Purposes’’ (EPA– 

420–B–09–046, December 2009). EPA 

coordinated closely with the U.S. 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Notices 9413 

3 In this example, such an area would use 

MOVES2010 to develop a regional emissions 

analysis for comparison to the revised MOVES2010- 

based budgets (e.g., PM10 and NOx budgets). The 

regional emissions analysis for ozone could be 

based on MOBILE6.2 for the VOC and NOx budgets 

in the ozone SIP for the remainder of the conformity 

grace period. 

Department of Transportation (DOT) in 

the establishment of the grace period. 

A. Length of Conformity Grace Period 

Transportation conformity is a Clean 

Air Act requirement to ensure that 

Federally supported highway and 

transit activities are consistent with 

(‘‘conform to’’) the SIP. Conformity to a 

SIP means that a transportation activity 

will not cause or contribute to new air 

quality violations; worsen existing 

violations; or delay timely attainment of 

the national ambient air quality 

standards or any interim milestone. 

Transportation conformity applies in 

nonattainment and maintenance areas 

for transportation-related pollutants: 

ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), PM2.5, 

PM10, and nitrogen dioxide. 

The transportation conformity rule 

(40 CFR parts 51 and 93) requires that 

conformity determinations be based on 

the latest motor vehicle emissions 

model approved by EPA. Section 

176(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act states that 

‘‘* * * [t]he determination of 

conformity shall be based on the most 

recent estimates of emissions, and such 

estimates shall be determined from the 

most recent population, employment, 

travel, and congestion estimates * * *.’’ 

When EPA approves a new emissions 

model such as MOVES2010, a grace 

period is established before the model is 

required for conformity analyses. The 

conformity rule provides for a grace 

period for new emissions models of 

between three and 24 months (40 CFR 

93.111(b)(1)). 

EPA articulated its intentions for 

establishing the length of a conformity 

grace period in the preamble to the 1993 

transportation conformity rule (58 FR 

62211): 

EPA and DOT will consider extending the 

grace period if the effects of the new 

emissions model are so significant that 

previous SIP demonstrations of what 

emission levels are consistent with 

attainment would be substantially affected. 

In such cases, States should have an 

opportunity to revise their SIPs before MPOs 

[metropolitan planning organizations] must 

use the model’s new emissions factors. 

In consultation with DOT, EPA must 

consider many factors when 

establishing a grace period for 

conformity determinations, including 

the degree of change in emissions 

models and the effects of the new model 

on the transportation planning process 

(40 CFR 93.111(b)(2)). 

Upon consideration of all of these 

factors, EPA is establishing a two-year 

grace period, which begins today and 

ends on March 2, 2012, before 

MOVES2010 is required to be used for 

regional transportation conformity 

purposes. During this grace period, 

areas should use the interagency 

consultation process to examine the 

impact of using MOVES2010 in their 

future transportation plan and TIP 

conformity determinations and regional 

emissions analyses. 

B. Circumstances When Grace Period 

Will Be Shorter Than Two Years 

The grace period will be shorter than 

two years for a given pollutant if an area 

revises its SIP and budgets with 

MOVES2010, and such budgets become 

applicable for regional conformity 

purposes prior to the end of the twoyear grace period. In this case, the new 

regional emissions analysis must use 

MOVES2010 if the conformity 

determination is based on a 

MOVES2010-based budget. 

Areas that are designated 

nonattainment or maintenance for 

multiple pollutants may rely on both 

MOVES2010 and MOBILE6.2 to 

determine conformity for different 

pollutants during the grace period. For 

example, if an area revises a previously 

submitted (but not approved) 

MOBILE6.2-based PM10 SIP with 

MOVES2010 and EPA finds these 

revised MOVES2010 budgets adequate 

for conformity, such budgets would 

apply for conformity on the effective 

date of the Federal Register notice 

announcing EPA’s adequacy finding. In 

this example, if an area was in 

nonattainment for PM10 and ozone, the 

MOVES2010 grace period would end for 

PM10 once EPA found the new 

MOVES2010-based SIP budgets 

adequate. However, MOBILE6.2 could 

continue to be used for ozone 

conformity determinations until the end 

of the MOVES2010 grace period.3 EPA 

Regional Offices should be consulted for 

questions regarding such situations in 

multi-pollutant areas. 

In addition, if an area revises a 

previously approved SIP using 

MOVES2010, the revised MOVES2010 

budgets would be used for conformity 

purposes once EPA approves the 

MOVES2010 SIP revision, in most cases. 

In general, submitted SIPs cannot 

supersede approved budgets until they 

are approved. However, 40 CFR 

93.118(e)(1) allows an approved budget 

to be replaced by an adequate budget if 

EPA’s approval of the initial budgets 

specifies that the budgets being 

approved may be replaced in the future 

by new adequate budgets. This 

flexibility has been used in limited 

situations in the past, such as during the 

transition from MOBILE5 to MOBILE6. 

In such cases, the MOVES2010-based 

budgets would be used for conformity 

purposes once they have been found 

adequate, if requested by the State in its 

SIP submission and specified in EPA’s 

SIP approval. States should consult with 

their EPA Regional Office to determine 

if this flexibility applies to their 

situation. 

C. Use of MOVES2010 During the Grace 

Period 

During the conformity grace period, 

areas should use the interagency 

consultation process to examine how 

MOVES2010 will impact their future 

transportation plan and TIP conformity 

determinations and any regional 

emissions analyses. Areas should 

carefully consider whether the SIP and 

budgets should be revised with 

MOVES2010 or if transportation plans 

and TIPs should be revised before the 

end of the conformity grace period, 

since doing so may be necessary to 

ensure conformity in the future. 

Regional emissions analyses that are 

started during the grace period can use 

either MOBILE6.2 or MOVES2010. 

When the grace period ends on March 

2, 2012, MOVES2010 will become the 

only approved motor vehicle emissions 

model for regional emissions analyses 

for transportation conformity in States 

other than California. In general, this 

means that all new transportation plan 

and TIP conformity determinations 

started after the end of the grace period 

must be based on MOVES2010, even if 

the SIP is based on MOBILE6.2. 

Finally, the conformity rule provides 

some flexibility for regional emissions 

analyses that are started before the end 

of the grace period. Analyses that begin 

before or during the grace period may 

continue to rely on MOBILE6.2. The 

interagency consultation process should 

be used if it is unclear if a MOBILE6.2- 

based analysis was begun before the end 

of the grace period. If you have 

questions about which model should be 

used in your conformity determination, 

you can also consult with your EPA 

Regional Office. 

IV. Future Notice Approving 

MOVES2010 for Project-level

4 In CO nonattainment and maintenance areas, a 

hot-spot analysis is required for all non-exempt 

projects, with quantitative hot-spot analyses being 

required for larger, congested intersections and 

other projects (40 CFR 93.123(a)(1)). In addition, the 

conformity rule requires that a quantitative PM10 or 

PM2.5 hot-spot analysis be completed for certain 

projects of local air quality concern once EPA 

releases modeling guidance and announces in the 

Federal Register that the PM10 and PM2.5

quantitative hot-spot analysis requirements are in 

effect (40 CFR 93.123(b)). In coordination with 

DOT, EPA is currently preparing guidance on how 

to conduct quantitative PM2.5 and PM10 hot-spot 

modeling to implement this requirement. 

maintenance areas.4 EPA will approve 

MOVES2010 for these purposes, and 

establish a separate two-year conformity 

grace period, in a subsequent Federal 

Register notice. Details on how EPA 

intends to implement MOVES2010 for 

quantitative CO, PM2.5, and PM10 hotspot analyses can be found in ‘‘Policy
