45654 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 147 / Friday, July 31, 2015 / Notices 

reviewed the State’s compilation of 

public comments and response to 

comments that were submitted during 

the State’s public process for the LMP. 

There were no adverse comments 

directed at the on-road portion of the 

LMP. 

Based on our review, the EPA believes 

it is appropriate to find this LMP 

adequate for use in transportation 

conformity prior to final action on the 

LMP. The EPA has moved forward with 

an approval notice for the Grants Pass 

PM10 LMP. Until that action is final and 

effective, this adequacy finding allows 

the State to apply the LMP for 

transportation conformity purposes. 

The EPA notified ODEQ in a letter 

dated June 24, 2015 (adequacy letter), 

subsequent to the close of the EPA 

comment period, that the EPA had 

found the LMP to be adequate for use in 

transportation conformity. A copy of the 

adequacy letter and its enclosure are 

available in the docket for this action 

and at the EPA’s conformity Web site: 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.109(e), limited 

maintenance plans are not required to 

contain on-road motor vehicle 

emissions budgets. Accordingly, as a 

result of this adequacy finding, regional 

emissions analyses will no longer be 

required as a part of the transportation 

conformity demonstrations for PM10 for 

the Grants Pass area. However, other 

conformity requirements still remain 

such as consultation (40 CFR 93.112), 

transportation control measures (40 CFR 

93.113), and project level analysis (40 

CFR 93.116). 

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

Transportation conformity to a SIP 

means that on-road transportation 

activities will not produce new air 

quality violations, worsen existing 

violations, or delay timely attainment of 

the national ambient air quality 

standards. The minimum criteria by 

which we determine whether a SIP is 

adequate for conformity purposes are 

specified at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The 

EPA’s analysis of how the LMP satisfies 

these criteria is found in the adequacy 

letter and its enclosure.

Adequacy Determination for the 

Klamath Falls, Oregon PM2.5 State 

Implementation Plan for 

Transportation Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy 

determination. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is notifying the public of 

its finding that the motor vehicle 

emissions budgets (MVEBs) for 

particulate matter with an aerodynamic 

diameter of a nominal 2.5 microns or 

less (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) 

in the Klamath Falls PM2.5 state 

implementation plan (SIP or attainment 

plan) are adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes. The attainment 

plan was submitted to the EPA by the 

State of Oregon Department of 

Environmental Quality (DEQ or the 

State) on December 12, 2012, with a 

clarification to the MVEB submitted on 

December 19, 2013. As a result of this 

adequacy finding, the Oregon DEQ, the 

Oregon Department of Transportation, 

and the U.S. Department of 

Transportation will be required to use 

these MVEBs for future transportation 

conformity determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective August 

17, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

finding will be available at the EPA’s 

conformity Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/

transconf/adequacy.htm. You may also

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action provides notice of the EPA’s 

adequacy finding regarding the MVEBs 

located in the attainment plan for the 

2006 PM2.5 national ambient air quality 

standards for purposes of transportation 

conformity. The EPA’s finding was 

made pursuant to the adequacy review 

process for state attainment plan 

submissions delineated at 40 CFR 

93.118(f)(1) under which the EPA 

reviews the adequacy of an attainment 

plan submission prior to the EPA’s final 

action on the attainment plan. 

Before the attainment plan was 

submitted to the EPA, consultation 

among federal, State, and local agencies 

occurred. Full attainment plan 

documentation was provided to EPA, 

and EPA’s stated concerns were 

addressed. The State submitted the 

attainment plan to the EPA on 

December 12, 2012 with a clarification 

to the MVEBs submitted on December 

19, 2013. Pursuant to 40 CFR 

93.118(f)(1), the EPA notified the public 

of its receipt of this plan and its review 

for an adequacy determination on the 

EPA’s Web site and requested public 

comment by no later than April 9, 2015. 

The EPA received no comments on the 

plan during the comment period. As 

part of our analysis, we also reviewed 

the State’s compilation of public 

comments and response to comments 

that were submitted during the State’s 

public process for the attainment plan. 

The State subsequently provided a 

clarification to the MVEBs in the 

attainment plan on December 19, 2013. 

The EPA finds that the MVEBs in the 

attainment plan, as clarified, are 

adequate for purposes of transportation 

conformity. There were no other 

comments directed at the on-road 

portion of the attainment plan that were 

submitted during the State public 

process. 

The EPA notified Oregon DEQ in a 

letter dated June 24, 2015 (adequacy 

letter), subsequent to the close of the 

EPA comment period, that the EPA had 

found the MVEBs located in the 

attainment plan to be adequate for use 

in transportation conformity. A copy of 

the adequacy letter and its enclosure are 

available in the docket for this action 

and at the EPA’s conformity Web site: 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

The MVEBs that the EPA determined to 

be adequate for purposes of 

transportation conformity are listed in 

the following table.

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

Transportation conformity to an 

attainment plan means that on-road 

transportation activities will not 

produce new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. The 

minimum criteria by which we 

determine whether an attainment plan 

is adequate for conformity purposes are 

specified at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The 

EPA’s analysis of how the attainment 

plan satisfies these criteria is found in 

the adequacy letter and its enclosure.

adequate for transportation conformity 

purposes. The LMP was submitted to 

the EPA by the State of Oregon 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(ODEQ or the State) on April 22, 2015. 

As a result of our adequacy finding, 

regional emissions analyses will no 

longer be required as part of the 

transportation conformity 

demonstrations for CO for the Grants 

Pass area. 

DATES: This finding is effective August

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action provides notice of the EPA’s 

adequacy finding regarding the second 

10-year CO limited maintenance plan 

(LMP) for the Grants Pass area for 

purposes of transportation conformity. 

The EPA’s finding was made pursuant 

to the adequacy review process for 

implementation plan submissions 

delineated at 40 CFR 93.118(f)(1) under 

which the EPA reviews the adequacy of 

a state implementation plan (SIP) 

submission prior to the EPA’s final 

action on the implementation plan. 

The State submitted the LMP to the 

EPA on April 22, 2015. Pursuant to 40 

CFR 93.118(f)(1), the EPA notified the 

public of its receipt of this plan and its 

review for an adequacy determination 

on the EPA’s Web site and requested 

public comment by no later than June 3, 

2015. The EPA received no comments 

on the plan during the comment period. 

As part of our analysis, we also 

reviewed the State’s compilation of 

public comments and response to 

comments that were submitted during 

the State’s public process for the LMP. 

There were no adverse comments 

directed at the on-road portion of the 

LMP. 

Based on our review, the EPA believes 

it is appropriate to find this LMP 

adequate for use in transportation 

conformity prior to final action on the 

LMP. The EPA has moved forward with 

an approval notice for the Grants Pass 

CO LMP. Until that action is final and 

effective, this adequacy finding allows 

the State to apply the LMP for 

transportation conformity purposes. 

The EPA notified ODEQ in a letter 

dated June 24, 2015 (adequacy letter), 

subsequent to the close of the EPA 

comment period, that the EPA had 

found the LMP to be adequate for use in 

transportation conformity. A copy of the 

adequacy letter and its enclosure are 

available in the docket for this action 

and at the EPA’s conformity Web site: 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.109(e), limited 

maintenance plans are not required to 

contain on-road motor vehicle 

emissions budgets. Accordingly, as a 

result of this adequacy finding, regional 

emissions analyses will no longer be 

required as a part of the transportation 

conformity demonstrations for CO for 

the Grants Pass area. However, other
