**I. Summary of Action**  Under section 110(k) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or “Act”),

we are approving the Final Update of the Limited Maintenance Plan for the Payson PM 10 Maintenance Area (December 2011) (“Second Ten

- Year Limited Maintenance Plan,” or “Second
Ten

- Year LMP”) submitted on January 23, 2012 by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) as a revision to the Arizona State I mplementation P lan (SIP)
. We find that the submittal meet s subsequent maintenance plan requirement s under
CAA section 175 A (b)
. **II. Introduction** 
**A. Clean Air Act Requirements and Air Quality Designations and**  **Plans for the Payson Area** Under the Clean Air Act (CAA or “Act”), EPA is required to establish national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or “standards”) for pervasive air pollutants at levels that protect the public health and welfare
. Particulate matter withThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 6 an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal ten micrometers (“microns”) , or PM 10 , is one of the air pollutants for which EPA has established health

- based standards. On July 1, 1987, EPA promulgated two standards for PM 10 : a 24

- hour standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m 3 ) and an annual
PM 10 standard of 50 μg/m 3 . 52 FR 24634 (July 1, 1987). Effective December 18, 2006, EPA revoked the annual PM 10 standard but retained the 24

- hour PM 10 standard. 71 FR 61144 ( October 17, 2006). In this document, references to the PM 10 NAAQS or PM 10 standard refer to the 24

- hour

- average standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m 3 ), unless otherwise noted
. Under section 107(d) of the CAA, EPA is required to designate areas of the country as attainment, unclassifiable, or nonattainment for each of the NAAQS depending on whether the NAAQS are being met. Under the CAA Amendments of 1990, the Payson area was des ignated as part of a large “unclassifiable” area in Arizona for the PM 10 NAAQS. In 1 993 ( 58 FR 67334, December 21, 1993) , in light of PM 10 NAAQS violations monitored in 1989 and 1990 , EPA re designated the Payson air quality planning area

as a “moderate” no nattainment area for the PM 10 NAAQS. 1 To meet the SIP planning requirements for such areas, State and local

1 The Payson air quality planning area is 144 square miles in size , centered around the Town of Payson, Arizona, a community of approximately 17,000 persons in the north central portion of Gila County, approximately 90 miles northeast of Phoenix. For the p recise boundaries of this area, please see the entry for Payson in the PM 10 table in 40 CFR 81.303.This document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 7 agencies adopted and implemented a number of control measures to reduce PM 10 emissions and lower ambient PM 10 concentrations in the Payson area, inc luding the paving of certain unpaved roads and restrictions on residential wood combustion. In 2002 (67 FR 7082, February 15, 2002), EPA determined that the Payson area had attained the PM 10 NAAQS by the applicable attainment date of December 31, 2000. Later that same year, ADEQ submitted a maintenance plan, titled Payson Moderate Area PM 10 Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation to Attainment Submittal Package (March 2002) (“First Ten

- Year Limited Maintenance Plan” or “First Ten

- Year LMP”) to EPA as a revision to the Arizona SIP, and requested redesignation of the Payson area to attainment. The First
Ten

- Year LMP was intended to provide for maintenance of the PM 10 NAAQS in the Payson area for ten years after redesignation. In June 2002 (67 FR 4301 3, June 26, 2002) , EPA approved the First
Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area as providing for maintenance through 2012, and redesignated the area to attainment for the
PM 10 NAAQS. Under CAA section 175A(b), former nonattainment areas that are redesignated to attainment and subject to a maintenance plan must develop, adopt , and submit a subsequent maintenance plan that provides for continued maintenance of the NAAQS for aThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 8 second ten

- year period following the end of the first ten

- year period. On January 23, 2012, ADEQ submitted the Second Ten

- Year
LMP for the Payson area to meet the requirement for a subsequent maintenance plan under CAA section 175A(b). The Second Ten

- Year LMP is inte nded to provide for continued maintenance of the PM 10 NAAQS f or the ten

- year period following the end of the first
ten

- year period, i.e., through year 2022. Consistent with requirements at the time, the First
Ten

- Year LMP provided for maintenance of both the 24

- hour average and annual average PM 10 NAAQS. However, as noted above, since then, EPA has revoked the annual average PM 10 NAAQS, and thus, the Second Ten

- Year LMP , which is the subject to today’s action, addresses on ly maintenance of the 24

- hour PM 10 NAAQS.
**B. Applicable CAA Provisions for**  **PM 10**  **Maintenance Plans** CAA section 175A provides the general framework for maintenance plans. The maintenance plan must provide for maintenance of the NAAQS for at least 10 years after redesignation, and must include any additional control measures as may be necessary to ensure such maintenance. In addition, maintenance plans are to contain such contingency provisions as we deem necessary to assure the prompt correction of a violation of the NAAQS that occurs after redesignation. The contingency measures must include, at a minimu m, a requirementThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 9 that the State will implement all control measures contained in the nonattainment SIP prior to redesignation. Beyond these provisions, however, CAA section 175A does not define the
content s of a maintenance plan. With respect to subsequen t maintenance plans, CAA section 175A(b) requires States to submit an additional SIP revision
to maintain the NAAQS for ten years after the expiration of the
ten

- year period covered by the initial maintenance plan approved in connection with redesignation of the area from nonattainment to attainment. Our primary guidance on maintenance plans is a September 4, 1992 memo from John Calcagni , Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards , to Directors of EPA Regional Air Programs, entitled

“ Procedures for Processing Requests to Redesignate Areas to Attainment ” ( “ Calcagni memo ” ). In addition, we have relied upon guidance discussed in the next subsection of this document.
**C. Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) Option**  On August 9, 2001, EPA issued guidance on streamlined maintenance plan provisions for certain moderate PM 10 nonattainment areas seeking redesignation to attainment (Memo randum from Lydia Wegman , Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards , to Directors of EPA Regional Air Programs enti tled “ Limited Maintenance Plan Option for ModerateThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 10 PM 10 Nonattainment Areas ” or “LMP p olicy ” )
. Herein, th e option set forth in the LMP p olicy is referred to as the “LMP option.” Th e LMP p olicy contains a statistical demonstration that areas meeting certain air quality criteria will, with a high degree of probabili ty, maintain the standard ten ye ars into the future. Thus, EPA provided the maintenance demonstration for areas meeting the criteria outlined in the memo. It follows that future y ear emission inventories for these areas, and some of the standard analyses to determine transportation conformity with the SIP, are no longer necessary.
T o qualify for the LMP option, the State must demonstrat e that the area meets the criteria described below. First, the

area should be attaining the PM 10 NAAQS
. Second, the average PM 10 design value for the area, based upon the most recent 5 years of air quality data at all monitors in the area, should be at or below 98 μ g/m 3 for the PM 10 NAAQS , with no violations at any monitor in the nonattainment area. ( See section IV of the LMP
p olic y . ) The 98 μ g/m 3 criterion provide s a margin of safety for the PM 10 NAAQS, which is 150 μ g/m 3

. If an area cannot meet this test, it may still be able to qualify for the LMP option if the average design values of the site are less than their respective site

- specific critical design values. Third , the area should expect only limited growth in on

We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 11 emissions (including fugitive dust) and should have passed a motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test. Lastly, the LMP
p olicy identifies core provisions that must be included in all
LMPs . These provisions include an attainment

- year emissions inventory, assurance of continued operation of an EPA

- approved air quality monitoring network, and contingency provisions. The LMP p olicy also states that once the LMP option is in effect, the S tate must verify in each subsequent year that the

a rea still qualifies for the LMP option by recalculating the area’s average design value annually and determining that the LMP criteria are met for that year . If they are not met , the
S tate should act to reduce emissions enough to requalify for the LMP option, for example, by using a contingency measure or other SIP

- approved measure. If the attempt to reduce PM 10 concentrations fails, or i f i t succeeds but in the future it becomes necessary to reduce PM 10 co ncentrations again , the area no lo nger qualifies for an LMP and a full maintenance plan would need to be developed. The LMP p olicy was written to address the maintenance plan requirements under section 175A for certain moderate PM 10 nonattainment areas seeking redesignation to attainment. However, we believe the principles set forth therein are also appropriate for former moderate PM 10 nonattainment areas thatThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 12 have been redesignated to attainment and are subject to an approved maintenance plan, but must develop and submit a subsequent maint enance plan to comply with CAA section 175A(b). **III. Review of the Arizona SIP**  **Submittal Addressing These Provisions**  **2**
**A . Has the State**  **Met the Procedural Requirements for SIP Revisions?**  Section 110(l) of the Act requires States to provide reasonable notice and public hearing prior to adoption of SIP revisions. Documents in ADEQ’s submittal describe the public review process followed by ADEQ for the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area prior to adoption and submittal to EPA as a revision to the Arizona SIP. The documentation provides evidence that reasonable notice of a public hearing was provided to the public and a public hearing was conducted prior to adoption. The documentation is f ound in e nclosure 4 of the January 23, 2012 submittal . Enclosure 4 i nclud es evidence that reasonable notice of a public hearing was provided to the public and that a public hearing was conducted prior to adoption.

2 Our evaluation of the Second Ten

- Year Maintenance Plan for the Payson area is presented in this section of the document. Further details on such issues as data completeness, calculation of five

- year design values, residential wood combustion emissions estimates, industrial source emissions estimates, control measures, and the motor vehicle regional analysis are presented in our Technical Support Document titled “ Ten

- 10; State of Arizona; Payson,” dated January 2, 2014.This document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 13 Specifically, the affidavit of publication included in enclosure 4 shows that notice of a public hearing and t he availability of, and opening of a 30

- day comment period on, the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area was published on September 30, 2011, in a newspaper of general circulation within the Payson area. The public hearing was held on November 2, 2011. No comments were received during the public comment period or at the public hearing . ADEQ adopted the plan and submitted it to EPA for approval on January 23, 2012. Based on the documentati on provided in enclosure 4 that was submitted by ADEQ with the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area, we find that the submittal of the plan as a SIP revision satisfies the procedural requirements of section 110(l) of the
Act.
**B .**  **Has the State D**  **emonstrated that the A**  **rea Continues to Qualify**  **for the L**  **imited M**  **aintenance P**  **lan O**  **ption?** Payson originally qualified for the LMP Option in 2002. In order to continue to qualify, the State must demonstrate that the area continue s to meet the requirements of the LMP p olicy for the following te n - year period. For the reasons given below, we conclude that the Payson area continues to qualify for the LMP option and that the Second Ten

We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 14 meets all applicable requirements for subsequent maintenance plans under CAA section 175A(b). Continued Attainment of the NAAQS To qualify for the LMP Option, the first criterion is that the area is attaining the PM 10 NAAQS. Generally, EPA determines whether an area’s air quality is meeting the PM 10 NAA QS based upon complete, 3 quality

- assured, and certified data gathered at established state and local air monitoring stations (SLAMS) in the nonattainment area, and entered into the EPA Air Quality System (AQS) database. Data from air monitors operated by S tate, local, or Tribal agencies in compliance with EPA monitoring requirements must be submitted to AQS. These monitoring agencies certify annually that these data are accurate t o the best of their knowledge. Accordingly, EPA relies primarily on data in AQ S when determining the attainment status of an area. All valid data are reviewed to determine the area’s air quality status in accordance with 40 CFR part 50, appendix K. Attainment of the PM 10 standard is determined by calculating the expected number of exceedances of the standard in a year. The PM 10 standard is attained when the expected number of exceedances averaged over a three

- year period is less than

3 For PM 10 , a “complete” set of data includes a minimum of 75 percent of the scheduled PM 10 samples per quarter. See 40 CFR part 50, appendix K, section 2.3(a).This document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 15 or equal to one at each monitoring site within the nonattainment

area. See 40 CFR 50.6 and 40 CFR part 50, appendix K. Generally, three consecutive years of air quality data are required to show attainment of the PM 10 standard. See 40 CFR part 50, a ppendix
K. ADEQ is responsible for monitoring ambient air quality outside the metropolitan areas in Arizona and is responsible for monitoring ambient air quality in the Payson area
. Annually, ADEQ submits monitorin g network plan reports to EPA. These reports discuss the status of the air monitoring network, as required under 40 CFR part 58. EPA reviews these annual network plans for compliance with the applicable reporting requirements in 40 CFR 58.10. EPA also conducts periodic technical system audits of state and local monitoring programs. In our most recent technical system audit of ADEQ’s monitoring program, w e concluded , generally, t hat ADEQ’s ambient air monitoring network currently meets or exceeds the requirements for the minimum number of monitoring sites designated as SLAMS for all of the criteria pollutants
. 4 Also, ADEQ ann ually certifies that the data it submits to AQS are

- assured. 5 ADEQ has operated a SLAMS PM 10 monitor i n the Town of Payson for more than 20 years. ADEQ’s Pa yson monitor has been relocated a number of times, but, since 1999, has been located on West Aero Drive in Payson , and is referred to as the Payson Wells Site
. This monitor was sited to provide PM 10 concentration data
at a neighborhood scale 6 to provide data for comparison with the NAAQS
. ADEQ operates a p artisol sampler at the Payson site , and , in 2009, added a second collocated partisol sampler for quality
assurance purposes. Both collocated monitors run on a

one - d ay - in

- six monitoring schedule. EPA’s most recent audit of ADEQ’s monitoring program includes a number of findings in areas where ADEQ’s monitoring program should be strengthened, but none of these findings cast significant doubt on the reliability of the data collected at the Payson site. Table 1 summarizes the PM 10 concentration data collected at the Pa yson monitor over the past 1 2 years , but fo r the purposes of determining current attainment of the NAAQS , we have

5 See, e.g., the letter from Eric C. Massey, Director, Air Quality Division, ADEQ , to Deborah Jordan , Air Division Director, EPA Region IX, dated May 16 , 201 3, certifying the ambient air quality data collected at the Pa yson site for year 201 2
. 6 In this con text, “ neighborhood scale” refers to conditions throughout some reasonably homogeneous urban sub

- region with dimensions of a few kilometers. See 40 CFR part 58, appendix D, section 4.6. Specific information about the Payson Wells Site in this paragraph com es from an ADEQ report titled “State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013,” dated October 29, 2013.This document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 17 focused our review on the data for the most recent three

- year period (20 10

- 201 2 ). As shown in T able 1, the PM 10 data from the Payson monitor represents a complete data set for the 2010

- 2012 period. Furthermore, this data set has been quality

- assured and certified by ADEQ. N o e xceedances were recorded at the Payson monitor over the 20 1 0

- 201 2 period , and the maximum PM 10 concentration measured over that period was 44 μg/m 3 , which is less than one

- third of the 150 μg/m 3 standard. Thus, the expected number of exceedances per year for the
Pa yson monitor for the most recent three

- year period (i.e., 20 1 0 to 201 2 ) was 0.0 days per year. As such, based on complete, quality

- assured and certified data for the 2010

- 2012 period, we conclude that the Payson area is attaining the standard , and thereby me e t s the first criterion for the LMP option . Data from 2013, while incomplete and preliminary, are also consistent with th is finding of attainment. **Table 1: Summary of 200 2**  **- 201**  **3 PM**  **10 Monitoring Data**  **for Payson**  **Area**

recent five calendar years. The Second Ten

- Year LMP indicates that the design value for the Payson area based on data from 2006 through 2010 is 66 μ g/m 3 , which is well below the criterion of 98 ug/m 3

. Based on more recent ambient monitoring data (2008 through 2012) t han was available when the Second Ten

The motor vehicle fraction of the de sign value is then multiplied by the projected percentage increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the area over the next 10 year s . The pro duct of this calculation is then added to the monitor

- based design value and compared with the applicable criterio n, in this case, 98 μ g/m 3

. If the sum is less than or equal to 98 μg/m 3 , then the criterion is met. In the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area, ADEQ used the updated inventory (see T able 2, below) to estimate that motor vehicle s contribute approximately 62%, or 41 μg/m 3 , to the design value of 66 μg/m 3 (based on 2006

- 2010 data). ADEQ then multiplied 41 μg/m 3 by 0.24, based on the projected 10

- year increase in traffic in the Payson area of approximately 24% to estimate the traffic growth incr ement of approximately 10 μg/m 3

. ADEQ then concluded that motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test was met because the sum of the motor vehicle growth increment (approximately 10 μg/m 3 ) and the design value (66 μg/m 3 ), or 76 μg/m 3 , is less than the c riterion of 98 μ g/m 3 . We have reviewed ADEQ’s methods and calculations and find them acceptable. If the calculation were to be re

- done using the most recent monitored 5

- year design value (which is 44 μg/m 3 based on 2008

- 2012 data ), the test would be met b y an even largerThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014.

- year period of maintenance is met. Conclusion and Maintenance Demonstration For the reasons give n above, we conclude that the Payson

area remains eligible for the LMP option. Under the LMP policy, the maintenance demonstration requirement under CAA section 175A is considered satisfied for areas meeting the LMP criteria discussed above, and because the Payson area continues to meet the LMP cr iteria, we conclude that no further demonstration of maintenance through the second 10

- year period is necessary.

For LMPs , a State ’s submission should include an emissions inventory which can be used to demonstrate maintenance of the NAAQS by meeting th e LMP eligibility criteria
. The inventory should represent emissions during the same five

- Year LMP, ADEQ prepared a PM 10 emissions i nventory for 2008 for the Payson area

We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 23 the contribution of sources is largely the same as was used in the First Ten

- Year LMP . ADEQ updated e missions for each source categor y based on current emissions models, vehicle activity, population and e mployment figures
. For instance, ADEQ u pdated motor vehicle emissions estimates using EPA’s National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM) to develop emission factors for motor vehicle exhaust, tire, and brake wear for motor vehicles
. NMIM uses EPA’s MOBILE6.2 emission factors, which were the most current factors at the time that development of the Second Ten

- Year LMP was initiated
. ADEQ used updated emission factors in EPA’s Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors ( AP

- 42 ) to est imate PM 10 entrained by vehicle movement over paved roads . ADEQ also updated t he

non - mobile source inventory with 2008 National Emission Inventory (NEI) data , primarily by adjusting county

- specific estimates by the ratio of population in the Payson area to the population in Gila County . For point sources in Payson , ADEQ used industrial source data collected in an annual survey of permitted facilities
. ADEQ compared the 2008 emissions estimates with those prepared for the First Ten

ADEQ explained that the emissions from residential wood combustion decreased significantly due to the implementation o f EPA’s New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for residential wood heaters (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA) and that the emissions associated with fugitive dust from vehicle travel over un paved roads increased significantly due to higher estimates of unpaved road VMT in the Payson air quality planning

area. 8
D uring the period in which the draft Second Ten

- Year LMP was being developed, EPA replaced MOBILE6.2 with a new motor vehicle emission factor model, known as Motor Vehicle Emission
S imulator (or “MOVES”) . In response to EPA’s request to consider the impact on the inventory due to the release of MOVES , ADEQ

re - calculated the motor vehicle emissions estimates using MOVES and projected a 0.006 ton per day increase in emissions from
motor vehicle exhaust, brake and tire wear relative to the estimate made using MOBILE6.2. 9 This incremental increase corresponds to a 0.1 μg/m 3 increase in the estimate of the motor vehicle fraction of the design value. As such, use of MOVES ,

However, the contingency plan is considered to be an enforceable part of the SIP and the State should ensure that the contingency measures are adopted as soon as possible once they are triggered by a specific event. The contingency pla n should identify the measure to be adopted, and provide a schedule and procedure for adoption and implementation of the measure if they are required.

We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 27 In the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area, ADEQ has , in most respects, carried forward the continge ncy plan adopted in the First Ten

- Year LMP, which was approved by EPA in 2002. First, ADEQ commits to continue to submit annual reports to EPA that will include calculation of the Payson area PM 10 design value to verify continued attainment and continued e ligibility for the LMP option. See section 6.0 of the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area. ADEQ made a similar commitment in the approved First
Ten

- Year LMP and has met its commitment through submittal of annual reports to EPA. We note that the annual reports did not address the motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test although we acknowledge that doing so would not have changed the status of the Payson area with respect to eligibility for the LMP option. ADEQ should address the motor vehicle regi onal emissions analysis test in annual reports submitted to EPA under the Second Ten

- Year LMP. Second, as part of the contingency plan, ADEQ has committed to determine whether or not PM 10 NAAQS violations have been recorded within six months of the close of each calendar year, and to review and determine the appropriate contingency measure(s) by the end of the same calendar year
. See section 5.3 of the Second Ten

- Year LMP. Table 3 below lists the measuresThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 28 that ADEQ commits to consider for implementation in the event of a violation of the PM 10 NAAQS or in the event the annual recalculation of the area’s design value exceeds the applicable LMP option criteria. The cause of the violation or exceedance of the LMP option criteria will help t o determine the appropriate contingency measure(s) to be implemented. **Table 3**  **: Payson Area Contingency Measures** 

**Contingency measures Implementing entity**  If any PM 10 industrial source operating within the maintenance area is found to be contributing to monitored readings above the LMP allowable limits, ADEQ will review existing air quality permit(s) to identify additional PM 10 control measures which may be needed.

Finally, the State has committed to implement the selected contingency measure(s) within one year of determining that a
PM 10 NAAQS violation has occurred. Lastly, should the levels rise above the limits qualifying the area for the LMP option despite implementation of contingency measures, ADEQ has committed to develop and submit a full maintenance plan to EPA. We conclude that these measures and commitments meet the requirements of CAA s ection 175A(d).
**G .**  **How Are T**  **ransportation and G**  **eneral C**  **onformity R**  **equirements Being Met**  **?** Section 176(c) of the Act requires that all Federal actions conform to an applicable SIP. Conformity is defined in section 176(c) of the Act as conformity to a SIP ’ s purpose of eliminating or reducing the severity and number of violations of the NAAQS and achieving expeditious attainment of such standards, and that such activities will not: (1) cause or contribute to any new violation o f any standard in any area; (2) increase the frequency or severity of any existing violation of any standard in any area; or (3) delay timely attainment of any standard orThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 30 any required interim emission reductions o r other milestones in any area. EPA has es tablished criteria and procedures for Federal agencies to follow in determining conformity of their actions. EPA's rule governing transportation plans, programs, and projects approved or funded by the Federal Highway Administration or Federal Transit Admin istration is referred to as the “transportation conformity” rule ( see 40 CFR part 93, subpart A), and EPA's rule governing all other types of Federal agency actions is referred to as the “general conformity” rule ( see 40 CFR part 93, subpart B). The transp ortation conformity rule and the general conformity rule apply to nonattainment and maintenance areas. Both rules provide that conformity can be demonstrated by showing that the expected emissions from planned actions are consistent with the emissions budg et for the area. While EPA ’ s LMP option does not exempt an area from the need to affirm conformity, the LMP policy explains that the area may demonstrate conformity without submitting an emissions budget. Transportation Conformity Under the LMP option, emi ssions budgets are treated as essentially not constraining for the length of the maintenance period because it is unreasonable to expect that qualifyingThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 31 areas would experience so much growth in that period that a violation of the NAAQS would result. Theref ore, in areas with approved LMPs, Federal actions requiring conformity determinations under the transportation conformity rule are considered to satisfy the “budget test” required in 40 CFR 93.118. While areas with maintenance plans approved under the LMP option are not subject to the budget test, the areas remain subject to other transportation conformity requirements of 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart A . Thus, the applicable metropolitan planning organization (MPO) in the area or the State will still need to doc ument and ensure that: (a) Transportation plans and projects provide for timely implementation of SIP transportation control measures (TCMs) in accordance with 40 CFR 93.113; (b) transportation plans and projects comply with the fiscal constraint element per 40 CFR 93.108; (c) the MPO's interagency consultation procedures meet applicable requirements of 40 CFR 93.105; (d) conformity of transportation plans is determined no less frequently than every three years, and conformity of plan amendments and tra nsportation projects is demonstrated inThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 32 accordance with the timing requirements specified in 40 CFR 93.104; (e) the latest planning assumptions and emissions model are used as set forth in 40 CFR 93.110 and 40 CFR 93.111; (f) projects do not cause or co ntribute to any new localized carbon monoxide or particulate matter violations, in accordance with procedures specified in 40 CFR 93.123; and (g) project sponsors and/or operators provide written commitments as specified in 40 CFR 93.125. Upon approval o f the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area, the State (in this case, the Arizona Department of Transportation) will continue to be exempt from performing a regional emissions analysis, but must continue to meet project

- level analyses as well as the tran sportation conformity criteria mentioned above. We posted notice of receipt of the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area on EPA’s adequacy review website on January 23, 2014 , and took comments until February 24, 2014

tm . Once there, click on the link for the Payson LMP. Because
LMPs do not contain budgets, the adequacy review period for th i s maintenance plan serves to allow the public to comment onThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 33 whether the LMP option is appropriate for this area. We did not receive any comments during the adequacy review comment period
. Lastly, if during the course of the second ten

- year maintenance period, the LMP criteria are no longer satisfied and a full maintenance plan must be developed to meet CAA requirements, the approval of the LMP would remain applicable for transportation conformity purposes only until the full maintenance plan is submitted and EPA has found its motor vehicle emissions budgets adequate for conform ity purposes under 40 CFR 93.118. General Conformity For Federal actions that are required to address the specific requirements of the general conformity rule, one set of requirements applies particularly to ensuring that emissions from a federal action will not cause or contribute to new violations of the NAAQS, exacerbate current violations, or delay timely attainment. One way that this requirement can be met is to demonstrate that "the total of direct and indirect emissions from the action (or portion thereof) is determined and documented by the State agency primarily responsible for the applicable SIP to result in a level of emissions which, together with all other emissions in the nonattainment area,This document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 34 would not exceed the emissions budgets specified in the applicable SIP." 40 CFR 93.158(a)(5)(i)(A). The decision about whether to include specific allocations of allowable emissions increases to sources (“emissions budgets”) is one made by the State and local air quality agencies. Such emissions budgets are unlike and not to be confused with those used in transportation conformity. Emissions budgets in transportation conformity are required to limit and restrain emissions. Emi ssions budgets in general conformity allow increases in emissions up to specified levels. ADEQ has chosen not to include any specific emissions allocations for Federal projects that would be subject to the provisions of general conformity in the Second Ten

- Year LMP for the Payson area
. Similar to transportation conformity, in LMP areas, Federal actions subject to the general conformity rule could be considered to satisfy the “budget test” specified in 40 CFR 93.158(a)(5)(i)(A) of the rule , for the same reasons that the budgets are essentially considered to be unlimited
. **I V.**  **Final Action** Under CAA section 110(k), EPA is approving the second
ten

- year limited maintenance plan for the Payson air quality planning area for the PM 10 NAAQS that was submitted by ADEQ on January 23, 2012 as a revision to the Arizona SIP. EPA isThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 35 approving this plan based on the conclusion that the plan adequately provides for continued maintenance of the PM 10 NAAQS in the Payson area through 2022 and thereby me ets the requirements for subsequent maintenance plans under section 175A of the Act . The effect of this action is to make the State’s continuing commitments with respect to maintenance of the PM 10 NAAQS in the Payson area federally enforceable for another ten
years. These commitments include continued monitoring; continued implementation of control measures that were responsible for bringing the area into attainment; preparation and submittal of annual reports; consideration and implementation of contingenc y measures, if necessary; and submittal of a full maintenance plan if contingency measures fail to provide the necessary remedy. We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no a dverse comments.

**V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews**  Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and a pplicable 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 Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action merely
approves a State plan as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requ irements beyo nd 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);This document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014.

• does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 1313 2 (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 Clean Air Act; andThis document is a prepublication version signed by EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld on March 5, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 38

• doe s not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, thi s 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

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by [ FEDERAL REGISTER OFFICE: insert date 60 days from date of publication of this document in the Federal Register ] . 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 ti me 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.
