In this notice, EPA is also notifying the public that the Agency has found that the ‘‘ SIP-based ’’ motor vehicle emissions budgets for 8-hour ozone and PM 2.5 in the amended 2007 South Coast SIP are inadequate for transportation conformity purposes. The 2007 South Coast SIP was submitted to EPA on November 28, 2007 by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a revision to the California SIP, and includes reasonable further progress and attainment demonstrations for the 8-hour ozone and PM 2.5 national ambient air quality standards. On February 1, 2008, CARB submitted supplemental technical information related to reasonable further progress for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The 2007 South Coast SIP was amended by a submittal dated April 30, 2008 that replaces the original motor vehicle emissions budgets for 8-hour ozone and PM 2.5 and distinguishes between ‘‘ baseline ’’ budgets and ‘‘ SIP-based ’’ budgets. As a result of our findings, the Southern California Association of Governments and the U.S. Department of Transportation must use the South Coast 8-hour ozone and PM 2.5 ‘‘ baseline ’’ motor vehicle emissions budgets, and cannot use the ‘‘ SIP-based ’’ budgets, in the amended 2007 South Coast SIP for future conformity determinations. **DATES :**  This finding is effective May 30, 2008. **FOR FURTHER**  **INFORMATION CONTACT**  **:** Rebecca Rosen, U.S. EPA, Region IX, Air Division AIR

Receipt of the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the amended 2007 South Coast SIP was announced on March 27, 2008 based on a submittal from CARB dated March 26, 2008 that requested parallel adequacy processing of draft amendments to the 2007 South Coast SIP.

EPA notes that the 2008 8-hour ozone and 2009 PM 2.5 motor vehicle emissions budgets in the state ’ s ‘‘ SIP-based ’’ approach are the same as the adequate budgets in the state ’ s ‘‘ baseline ’’ approach.

The finding and the response to comments are available at EPA ’ s transportation conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/ stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm . Transportation conformity is required by Clean Air Act section 176(c). EPA ’ s conformity rule requires that transportation plans, transportation improvement programs, and projects conform to state air quality implementation plans and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they do conform. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.

The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP ’ s motor vehicle emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4), which was promulgated on August 15, 1997 final rule (62 FR 43780, 43781
–43783). We have further described our process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004 final rule (69 FR 40004, 40038), and we used the information in these resources in making our adequacy findings. Please note that an adequacy review is separate from EPA ’ s completeness review, and should not be used to prejudge EPA ’ s ultimate approval action for the SIP. Even if we find a budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved.
