Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle 

Budgets in Submitted South Coast 

8-Hour Ozone and PM2.5 Attainment 

and Reasonable Further Progress 

Plans for Transportation Conformity 

Purposes; California 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 


ACTION: Notice of adequacy and 


inadequacy. 


SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that the Agency has 

found that the ‘‘baseline’’ reasonable 

further progress motor vehicle 

emissions budgets for 8-hour ozone and 

PM2.5 in the 2007 South Coast State 

Implementation Plan (2007 South Coast 

SIP), as amended on April 30, 2008, are 

adequate for transportation conformity 

purposes. 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 PM2.5 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 PM2.5 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 

PM2.5 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 PM2.5 

‘‘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.

Receipt of the motor vehicle 

emissions budgets for 8-hour ozone and 

PM2.5 in the 2007 South Coast SIP 

submitted on November 28, 2007 was 

announced on EPA’s transportation 

conformity Web site on February 12, 

2008. 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

2007 South Coast SIP included two sets and comments were also received in letter to the CARB on May 7, 2008 

of budgets, and CARB labeled these sets response to the adequacy review posting stating that the ‘‘baseline’’ motor vehicle 

as ‘‘baseline’’ and ‘‘SIP-based’’ budgets. of the amended 2007 South Coast SIP emissions budgets in the amended 2007 CARB also requested that EPA consider motor vehicle emissions budgets. The South Coast SIP for the reasonable 

both sets of budgets simultaneously but final, adopted amendments to the 2007 further progress (RFP) milestone years approve all of the ‘‘baseline’’ budgets South Coast SIP submitted by CARB on of 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020 (for only if the Agency could not approve or April 30, 2008 are the same as those 8-hour ozone) and 2009 and 2012 (for find adequate in their entirety the ‘‘SIP- submitted by CARB for parallel PM2.5) are adequate.

Our letter dated May 7, 2008 also additional on-road mobile source reductions that do not result from 

states that the ‘‘SIP-based’’ motor emissions reductions in the ‘‘SIP-based’’ specific or enforceable control 

vehicle emissions budgets in the budgets from the 2007 State Strategy for measures. As a result, three of the 

amended 2007 South Coast SIP are the California SIP. The ‘‘baseline’’ transportation conformity rule’s inadequate for transportation budgets include no such reductions but adequacy criteria are not met (40 CFR conformity purposes. The amended rather reflect emissions reductions from 93.118(e)(4)(iii), (iv), and (v)) for these 2007 South Coast SIP included ‘‘SIP- CARB rules that were adopted as of ‘‘SIP-based’’ budgets.

EPA notes that the 2008 8-hour ozone 

and 2009 PM2.5 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.
