VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What is EPA approving? 

EPA is approving new MOVES2010abased budgets for the Ohio portion of 

the Wheeling, West Virginia-Ohio 1997 

8-hour ozone maintenance area that will 

replace MOBILE-based budgets in the 

SIP. The Ohio portion of the Wheeling, 

West Virginia-Ohio area was 

redesignated to attainment of the 1997 

8-hour ozone standard effective June 15, 

2007 (72 FR 27644). MOBILE6.2-based 

budgets for the Ohio portion of the area 

were approved in that action. Upon the 

effective date of approval of the 

MOVES-based budgets, they must then 

be used in future transportation 

conformity analyses for the Ohio 

portion of the area as required by 

section 176(c) of the CAA. See the 

official release of the MOVES2010 

emissions model (75 FR 9411–9414) for 

background, and section II. (c) below for 

details. 

II. What is the background for this 

action? 

a. SIP Budgets and Transportation 

Conformity 

Under the CAA, states are required to 

submit control strategy SIP revisions 

and maintenance plans for 

nonattainment and maintenance areas 

for a given National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS). These SIP 

revisions and maintenance plans 

include budgets of on-road mobile 

source emissions for criteria pollutants, 

including precursors. Transportation 

plans and projects ‘‘conform’’ to (i.e., 

are consistent with) the SIP when they 

will not cause or contribute to air 

quality violations, or delay timely 

attainment of the NAAQS.

34904 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

1The safety margin is applied by adding a certain 

percentage of emissions, in tons per day, onto the 

MOVES-based on-road emissions budgets. In this 

case, Ohio chose to add a 25% safety margin to 

their budgets. The safety margin cannot exceed the 

combined emissions reduction for the area. 

b. Prior Approval of Budgets 

EPA previously approved 

MOBILE6.2-based volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides 

(NOX) budgets for the Ohio portion of 

the Wheeling, West Virginia-Ohio 

nonattainment area. The area’s ozone 

maintenance plan established 2009 and 

2018 budgets that demonstrated a 

reduction in emissions from the 

monitored attainment year of 2004. 

c. The MOVES Emissions Model 

The MOVES model is EPA’s state of 

the art tool for estimating highway 

emissions. EPA announced the release 

of MOVES2010 on March 2, 2010 (75 FR 

9411). Use of the MOVES model is 

required for regional emissions analyses 

for transportation conformity 

determinations outside of California that 

begin after March 2, 2013. 

MOVES2010a was used to estimate 

emissions in the Ohio portion of the 

Wheeling, West Virginia-Ohio area for 

the same milestone years as the original 

budgets in the SIP. The Ohio 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(OEPA) is revising the budgets using the 

latest planning assumptions, including 

population and employment updates. In 

addition, newer vehicle registration data 

has been used to update the age 

distribution of the vehicle fleet. 

Updating the budgets with 

MOVES2010a allows the area to 

continue to show conformity to the SIP 

in plans, transportation improvement 

programs, and projects. The interagency 

consultation group has had extensive 

consultation on the requirements and 

need for new budgets. 

d. Submission of New Budgets Based on 

MOVES2010a 

On December 7, 2012, OEPA 

submitted final budgets based on 

MOVES2010a that cover the Ohio 

portion of the Wheeling area. Ohio 

received no comments during the public 

review and comment period. 

The new MOVES2010a based budgets 

are for the years 2009 and 2018, for both 

VOCs and NOX, and are detailed in table 

3 of this notice. Ohio has also provided 

emissions per sector, including mobile 

emissions based on MOVES2010a, for 

the 2004 attainment year, the 2009 

interim budget year, and the 2018 

maintenance year. The emissions 

reduction from all sectors between the 

years 2004 and 2018 is also shown. 

Emissions per sector and the combined 

emissions reduction for VOC and NOX

for the Ohio portion of the Wheeling, 

West Virginia-Ohio area are shown in 

tables 1 and 2. In tables 1 and 2, for onroad emissions of both VOC and NOX

for the years 2009 and 2018, a 25% 

safety margin has been applied.1

The Belmont-Ohio Marshall Regional 

Council Metropolitan Planning 

Organization has added a safety margin 

that is only a portion of the attainment 

margin available for NOX and VOCs to 

the budgets for 2009 and 2018. As 

shown in tables 1 and 2, the submittal 

demonstrates how the area’s emissions 

decline from the attainment year of 2004 

to maintain the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard. 

No additional control measures were 

needed to maintain the 1997 ozone 

standard in the Wheeling, West 

Virginia-Ohio area. Further, Ohio’s 

submittal contains an approach where 

Ohio and West Virginia maintain 

conformity with separate budgets for 

their respective portions of the area. The 

net result of these approaches will be a 

total emissions level for the Wheeling 

area that is expected to provide for the 

area’s continued attainment. An 

appropriate safety margin for NOX and 

VOCs was established by the 

interagency consultation group, which 

consists of representatives from the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 34905 

Federal Highway Administration, 

OEPA, Ohio Department of 

Transportation, and EPA. The submitted 

budgets for the Ohio portion of the 

Wheeling, West Virginia-Ohio area are 

shown in table 3 below. 

III. What are the criteria for approval? 

EPA requires that revisions to existing 

SIPs and budgets continue to meet 

applicable requirements (e.g., 

reasonable further progress, attainment, 

or maintenance). The SIP must also 

meet any applicable SIP requirements 

under CAA section 110. In addition, 

adequacy criteria found at 40 CFR 

93.118(e)(4) must be satisfied before 

EPA can find submitted budgets 

adequate and approve them for 

conformity purposes. 

Areas can revise their budgets and 

inventories using MOVES without 

revising their entire SIP if (1) the SIP 

continues to meet applicable 

requirements when the previous motor 

vehicle emissions inventories are 

replaced with MOVES base year and 

milestone, attainment, or maintenance 

year inventories, and (2) the state can 

document that growth and control 

strategy assumptions for non-motor 

vehicle sources continue to be valid and 

any minor updates do not change the 

overall conclusions of the SIP. For more 

information, see EPA’s latest ‘‘Policy 

Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for 

SIP Development, Transportation 

Conformity, and Other Purposes’’ (April 

2012), available online at: www.epa.gov/ 

otaq/stateresources/transconf/ 

policy.htm#models. Ohio’s December 7, 

2012, submittal meets this requirement 

as described in the next section. 

IV. What is EPA’s analysis of the state’s 

submittal? 

a. The Revised Inventories 

The December 7, 2012, SIP revision 

request for the Ohio portion of the 

Wheeling, West Virginia-Ohio 1997 

ozone maintenance plan seeks to revise 

only the on-road mobile source 

inventories. OEPA has certified that the 

control strategies remain the same as in 

the original SIP, and that no other 

control strategies are necessary. OEPA 

also finds that growth and control 

strategy assumptions for non-mobile 

sources (i.e., area, non-road, and point) 

have not changed significantly from the 

original submittal. This is supported by 

the monitoring data for the Wheeling 

area, which continues to monitor 

attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard. 

OEPA’s submittal affirms that the 

total emissions in the revised SIP 

(which includes MOVES2010a 

emissions from mobile sources) as 

shown in tables 1 and 2 demonstrate 

that emissions in the Wheeling, Ohio 

area continue to decline and remain 

below the attainment levels. 

Ohio has submitted MOVES2010abased budgets for the Wheeling, Ohio 

area that are clearly identified in the 

submittal. The budgets are displayed in 

table 3.

b. Approvability of the MOVES2010aBased Budgets 

EPA is approving the MOVES2010abased budgets submitted by Ohio for use 

in determining transportation 

conformity in the Wheeling, Ohio 1997 

ozone maintenance area. EPA evaluated 

the MOVES-based budgets submitted on 

December 7, 2012, using the adequacy 

criteria found in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4) 

and our in-depth evaluation of the 

state’s submittal and SIP requirements. 

Before submitting the revised budgets, 

OEPA has shown that it followed all 

necessary conformity procedures. The 

budgets are clearly identified and 

precisely quantified in the submittal. 

The budgets, when considered with 

other emissions sources, are consistent 

with continued maintenance of the 1997 

ozone standard. The budgets are clearly 

related to the emissions inventory and 

control measures in the SIP. The 

changes from the previous budgets are 

clearly explained with the change in the 

model from MOBILE6.2 to 

MOVES2010a and the revised and 

updated planning assumptions. The 

inputs to the model are detailed in the 

appendix to the submittal. EPA has 

reviewed the inputs to the 

MOVES2010a modeling and 

participated in the consultation process. 

The Federal Highway Administration 

and the Ohio Department of 

Transportation have taken a lead role in 

working with the Belmont-OhioMarshall Transportation Study to 

provide accurate, timely information 

and inputs to the MOVES2010a model 

run. The state has documented that 

growth and control strategy assumptions 

for non-motor vehicle sources (i.e. area, 

non-road, and point) continue to be 

valid and any minor updates do not 

change the overall conclusions of the 

SIP. 

Ohio’s submission confirms that the 

SIP continues to demonstrate 

maintenance of the 1997 ozone standard 

because the total emissions in the 

revised SIP (including MOVES2010a 

emissions for mobile sources) continue 

to decrease from the attainment year to 

the final year of the maintenance plan, 

as shown in tables 1 and 2 above. The 

budgets include an appropriate margin 

of safety while still maintaining total 

emissions below the attainment level. 

Based on our review of the SIP and 

the new budgets provided, EPA has 

determined that the SIP will continue to 

meet the requirements if the motor 

vehicle emissions inventories are 

replaced with MOVES2010a-based 

inventories. 

c. Applicability of MOBILE6.2-Based 

Budgets 

Upon the effective date of the 

approval of the revised budgets, the 

state’s existing MOBILE6.2-based 

budgets will no longer be applicable for 

transportation conformity purposes. 

V. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is approving, as a SIP revision, 

the replacement MOVES2010-based 

budgets for the Ohio portion of the 

Wheeling, West Virginia-Ohio 1997 

ozone maintenance plan, as submitted 

on December 7, 2012. We are publishing 

this action without prior proposal 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register publication, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

state plan if relevant adverse written 

comments are filed. This rule will be 

effective August 12, 2013 without 

further notice unless we receive relevant 

adverse written comments by July 11, 

2013. If we receive such comments, we 

will withdraw this action before the 

effective date by publishing a 

subsequent document that will 

withdraw the final action. All public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. If we do not receive any 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
34906 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

comments, this action will be effective 

August 12, 2013. 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves state law as meeting 

Federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by state law. For that 

reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by August 12, 2013. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the proposed rules section 

of today’s Federal Register, rather than 

file an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

EPA can withdraw this direct final rule 

and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)
