Adequacy Status: South Carolina: 

Reasonable Further Progress Plan 

Motor Vehicle Emissions Budget for 

Transportation Conformity for the 

Portion of York County, South Carolina 

Within Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, 

North Carolina-South Carolina; 1997 8- 

Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public of its finding that 

the volatile organic compounds (VOC) 

motor vehicle emissions budget (MVEB) 

for the portion of York County, South 

Carolina that is within the CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill, North CarolinaSouth Carolina Area (hereafter referred 

to as the ‘‘Charlotte bi-state Area’’) 

Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) plan 

for the 1997 8-hour ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS), submitted on August 31, 

2007, and supplemented on April 29, 

2010, by the South Carolina Department 

of Health and Environmental Control 

(SC DHEC) are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes. The 

South Carolina portion of the Charlotte 

bi-state Area is comprised of a portion 

of York County, South Carolina. On 

March 2, 1999, the District of Columbia 

Circuit Court ruled that submitted state 

implementation plans (SIPs) cannot be 

used for transportation conformity 

determinations until EPA has 

affirmatively found them adequate. As a 

result of EPA’s finding, the South 

Carolina portion of the Charlotte bi-state 

Area must use the VOC MVEB from the 

submitted RFP plan supplement for the 

Area for future conformity 

determinations. 

DATES: This adequacy finding for VOC 

is effective June 21, 2012.

Sheckler can also be reached by 

telephone at (404) 562–9222, or via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today’s 

notice is simply an announcement of 

findings that EPA has already made. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Notices 33455 

EPA Region 4 sent a letter to SC DHEC 

on May 25, 2012, stating that the 2008 

VOC MVEB in the 1997 8-hour ozone 

RFP plan for the South Carolina portion 

of the Charlotte bi-state Area, dated 

August 31, 2007, and supplemented on 

April 29, 2010, are adequate. EPA 

posted the availability of the York 

County MVEB on EPA’s Web site on 

May 13, 2010, as part of the adequacy 

process, for the purpose of soliciting 

comments. The comment period ran 

from May 13, 2010, through June 14, 

2010. EPA’s findings have also been 

announced on EPA’s conformity Web 

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

stateresources/index.htm, (once there, 

click ‘‘Transportation Conformity’’ text 

icon, then look for ‘‘Adequacy Review 

of SIP Submissions’’). The adequate 

VOC MVEB is provided in the following 

table: 

YORK COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA 8-HR

OZONE VOC MVEB 

2008 2008 

York County ( partial county) VOC MVEB 

VOC 6.053 tons per 

day.

5,493 kilograms 

per day 

Transportation conformity is required 

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

as amended in 1990. EPA’s conformity 

rule, 40 CFR part 93, requires that 

transportation plans, programs and 

projects conform to state air quality 

implementation plans and establishes 

the criteria and procedures for 

determining whether or not they do. 

Conformity to a SIP means that 

transportation activities will not 

produce new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay 

timely attainment of the NAAQS. 

The criteria by which EPA determines 

whether a SIP’s MVEB are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e) (4). EPA 

has described the process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in a May 14, 1999, 

memorandum entitled ‘‘Conformity 

Guidance on Implementation of March 

2, 1999 Conformity Court Decision.’’ 

EPA has followed this guidance in 

making this adequacy determination. 

This guidance is incorporated into 

EPA’s July 1, 2004, final rulemaking 

entitled ‘‘Transportation Conformity 

Rule Amendments for the New 8-hour 

Ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards and Miscellaneous 

Revisions for Existing Areas; 

Transportation Conformity 

Rule Amendments: Response to Court 

Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’ 

(See 69 FR 40004). Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from the 

EPA’s completeness review, and it also 

should not be used to prejudge EPA’s 

ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if 

EPA finds the MVEB adequate, the 

Agency may later disapprove the SIP. 

Within 24 months from the effective 

date of this notice, the transportation 

partners will need to demonstrate 

conformity to the new MVEB if the 

demonstration has not already been 

made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e). See 

73 FR 4419 (January 24, 2008).
