Adequacy Status of the ClevelandAkron-Lorain and Columbus, Ohio

Portions of the Cincinnati IndianaOhio-Kentucky Area Submitted 8-Hour 

Ozone Redesignation Requests and 

Maintenance Plans for Transportation 

Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is notifying the public that we have 

found that the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEBs) for volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) and oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX) in the Cleveland-AkronLorain and Columbus, Ohio ozone 

nonattainment areas, and the Indiana 

and Ohio portions of the Cincinnati 

Indiana-Ohio-Kentucky ozone 

nonattainment area are adequate for use 

in transportation conformity 

determinations under the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). Ohio submitted redesignation

requests and maintenance plans for the 

Cleveland-Akron-Lorain and Columbus 

areas on July 6, 2016 and June 16, 2016, 

respectively. Ohio submitted a 

redesignation request and maintenance 

plan for the Ohio portion of the 

Cincinnati area on April 21, 2016. 

Indiana submitted a redesignation 

request and maintenance plan for the 

Indiana portion of the Cincinnati area 

on February 23, 2016. As a result of our 

finding, these areas must use their 

submitted MVEBs for future 

transportation conformity 

determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective October 

12, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

Background 

Today’s notice is an announcement of 

a finding that we have already made. On 

August 23, 2016, EPA sent letters to the 

Indiana Department of Environmental 

Management and the Ohio 

Environmental Protection Agency 

transmitting our determination that the 

2020 and 2030 MVEBs contained in the 

redesignations and maintenance plans 

for the Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio 

areas and Indiana and Ohio portions of 

the Cincinnati area are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes. 

These MVEBs were announced on 

EPA’s transportation conformity Web 

site, and no comments were submitted 

in response. The information is 

available at EPA’s conformity Web site: 

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

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

The Cleveland-Akron-Lorain ozone 

nonattainment area consists of 

Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, 

Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit 

Counties. The Columbus ozone 

nonattainment area consists of 

Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Knox, 

Licking, and Madison Counties. The 

Indiana portion of the Cincinnati ozone 

nonattainment area consists of 

Lawrenceburg Township (located 

within Dearborn County, Indiana). The 

Ohio portion of the Cincinnati area 

consists of Butler, Clermont, Clinton, 

Hamilton, and Warren Counties. For 

transportation conformity purposes, the 

MVEBs for the Indiana and Ohio 

portions of the Cincinnati area are 

combined. The 2020 and 2030 MVEBs, 

in tons per day (tpd), for VOCs and NOX

for the Indiana and Ohio portions of 

Cincinnati, and the Cleveland and 

Columbus, Ohio areas are as follows: 

Area 2020 NOX

(tpd) 

2020 VOCs 

(tpd) 

2030 NOX

Columbus, Ohio ............................................................................................... 99.54 50.66 85.13 44.31 

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the CAA. EPA’s 

conformity rule 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 

conform. Conformity to a State 

Implementation Plan (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 MVEBs are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in the regulation at 40 CFR 

93.118(e)(4). As set forth above, EPA 

determined that these MVEBs are 

adequate under the applicable standards 

set forth in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). Please 

note that an adequacy review is separate 

from EPA’s completeness review, and it 

also should not be used to prejudge 

EPA’s ultimate approval of the SIP. 

Even if we find a budget adequate, the 

SIP could later be disapproved.

Notice of New Streamlined Approval 

Process for Non-Regulatory Methods 

in SW–846 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or Agency) is providing 

notice of a new streamlined approval 

process for non-regulatory methods in 

the ‘‘Test Methods for Evaluating Solid 

Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods’’ 

manual, also known as SW–846. This 

new process will employ the use of Web 

site postings and an extensive email list 

to notify the SW–846 scientific 

community of methods being released 

for public comment, which differs from 

the traditional Federal Register 

publication. All methods beginning 

with Update VI to SW–846 will utilize 

the new process. This new process only 

applies to SW–846 methods published 

as guidance, where there are no changes 

to the hazardous waste regulations 

under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). The process for 

updating or publishing SW–846 

analytical methods that are required in 

the RCRA regulations (referred to as 

Method Defined Parameters or MDPs) 

will not change. EPA is not requesting 

public comment on this notice.

I. General Information 

A. Does this notice apply to me? 

This notice is directed to the public 

in general. It may, however, be of 

particular interest to those conducting 

waste sampling and analysis for RCRArelated activities. This universe might 

include any entity that generates, treats, 

stores, or disposes of hazardous or nonhazardous solid waste and might also
