X Y The monitoring organization has revised data from this monitor since the

most recent certification letter received from the state. The certifying agency has submitted the certification letter and required summary reports, but the certifying agency and/or EPA has determined that issues regarding the quality of the ambient concentration data cannot be resolved due to data completeness, the lack of performed quality assurance checks or the results of uncertainty statistics shown in the AMP255 report or the certification and quality assurance report. The certifying agency has submitted the certification letter and required summary reports. A value of "S" conveys no Regional assessment regarding data quality per se. This flag will remain until the Region provides an "N" or "Y" concurrence flag. Uncertified. The certifying agency did not submit a required certification letter and summary reports for this monitor even though the due date has passed, or the state's certification letter specifically did not apply the certification to this monitor. Certification is not required by 40 CFR 58.15 and no conditions apply to be the basis for assigning another flag value The certifying agency has submitted a certification letter, and EPA has no unresolved reservations about data quality (after reviewing the letter, the attached summary reports, the amount of quality assurance data submitted to AQS, the quality statistics, and the highest reported concentrations).

# M obile Source Ozone Emissions Inventory for the Cincinnati Ozone Nonattainment A rea This report was prepared for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the Kentucky Department for Air Quality, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The Cincinnati 2008 Ozone Nonattainment Area includes a portion of Dearborn County Indi ana, the counties of Boone, Campbell, Kenton in Kentucky, and the counties of Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren in Ohio. Clinton County is outside of OKI’s MPO planning area . The emission estimates for Clinton County were developed by the O hio Department of Transportation and provided to OKI for inclusion in this report. This report includes emission estimates for years 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2030. The U.S. EPA’s Motor Vehicle Emission Simulation (MOVES) 2014 was used to generate the emission inventory. Details on the various county data inputs used to generate the in ventory are described in Table 5 . Emissions of the ozone precursors, volatile organic compounds ( VOC’s ) and oxides of nitrogen ( NO x 

### ), are reported . Table 1 shows daily m obile source ozone emissions in tons per summer day for the Ohio and Indiana portion of the Cincinnati Ozone Nonattainment Area . The daily mobile source ozone emissions in tons per summer day for the Kentucky portion of the Cincin nati Ozone Nonattainment Area are shown in T able 2. The mobile source ozone emissions for the nonattainment portion only of each county is provided in Table 3. Mobile source emissions for entire counties are shown in Table 4.

## OKI Travel Demand Model Vehicle miles traveled, vehicle hours and average speeds were e stimated using the OKI Travel Demand Model Version 8.0 . The OKI Travel Demand Model is composed of a series of CUBE Voyager programs written by Citilabs and OKI . The model covers the combined planning areas of OKI and the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission. It is a state of the practice model that uses the standard 4 phase sequential modeling approach of trip generation, distribution, modal choice and assignment. The model uses demogra phic and land use data and capacity and free

- flow speed characteristics for each roadway segment in the network to produce a “loaded” highway network with forecasted traffic volumes with revised speeds based on specified speed/capacity relationships. Tra vel analysis zones are the basic geographic unit for estimating travel in the OKI model. The region is subdivided into 3312 traffic analysis zones to permit detail as well as manageability. A variety of socioeconomic data items are used in the OKI transpo rtation planning process. These data are used primarily to forecast future travel patterns by serving as independent variables in OKI trip generation equations. The following categories of planning data are utilized:

 Population (household and group quarter )  Households  Household vehicles  Employment (by employment category and zone of work)  Labor force participation (by zone of residence)  Area type The principal data requirements of the OKI travel demand forecasting model are population and employment. From t hese variables, other characteristics including households, labor force, and personal veh icles may be derived. Chapter 3 of OKI 204 0 Regional Transportation Plan 2012 Update provides a complete demographic overview of the region.

### O KI utilizes both base year (2010) and future year data (2020, 2030 and 204 0) in the planning process. Planning data are maintained at the Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) level, and originate in the 2010 Census of Population and Housing . Base year 2010 and future year data for each variable are developed through various methods. More detailed explanation of base year and future year data generation for each of the above

- mentioned categories of planning data follows. All of the variables represent the latest OKI planning assumptions. 

## Population Base and Future Year Data: Population data for base year 2010 and future years 2020, 2030 and 2040 originate with the 2010 US Census of Population. Utilizing the geographic information systems software ArcMap, population data at the zonal level for 2010 w as derived from the area proportion allocation of census block level population. As a tristate regional planning agency, OKI uses county level population projections prepared by the respective state data centers (Ohio Development Services, Kentucky State Data Center and Indiana Business Research Center) as control totals. The most current projections (years 2020 to 2040) were released by Ohio Development Services in 2013, Indiana Business Research Center in 2012 and the Kentucky State Data Center in 2012. Population projections at the zonal level are calculated by multiplying the 2010 household size by the projected zonal households. Then, household size is factored so that, in each county, the sum of the zonal populations equals the control total. 

## Househ olds Base Year Data: Household data for base year 2010 originates with the 2010 US Census of Population. Utilizing ArcMap, household data at the zonal level for 2010 was derived from the area proportion allocation of census block level households. Future Year Data: The development of household projections was accomplished by calculating the number of households for a projected county population using 2010 Census ratios of householders to total population by age specific cohorts for each future analysis yea r. This step results in county

- level household control totals for each future analysis year. Disaggregation of households to TAZs was determined by historical trends, existing and future land use, topography, flood plain information, availability of land, local knowledge and other factors. 

## Household Vehicles Base and Future Year Data: Base and future year household vehicle data were obtained from 2009

- 2013 American Community Survey tabulations at the block group level. Average vehicles per household were calculated for block groups and then applied to the TAZs associated with each block group. The 2020, 2030 and 2040 vehicles per household were held at the 2009

- 2013 level based on the fact that, since 2002, the number of vehicles per household has exceeded the number of drivers per household. 

## Labor Force Base and Future Year Data: The OKI labor force is a function of the population as determined by a labor force participation rate (the number of employed persons in the labor force per persons 16 and over) .

# 11 OKI Ozone Mobile Source Emissions Inventory for the Cincinnati Ozone Nonattainment Area, Aug. 2015



### Household data for base year 2010 is derived from 2009

- 2013 American Community Survey tabulations. Utilizing ArcMap, labor force data at the zonal level for 2009

- 2013 was derived from the area proportion allocation of block group level. Labor force proje ctions for 2020, 2030 and 2040 were based on the most recent projections of national labor force participation rates by age and sex cohorts from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for each of those years. These rates were then applie d to the projected county age/sex cohorts and adjusted to eliminate the unemployed to arrive at a county employed labor force control total. Employed labor force at the zonal level is calculated by multiplying the labor force participation rate by the zon al population. The labor force participation rate is adjusted so that, in each county, the sum of the zonal labor force counts equals the control total. 

## Employment Base Year Data: Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data for 2010 was the prim ary tool used to calculate employment at the zonal level for the base year. Individual business records containing physical location, number of employees and NAICS code were geocoded in ArcMap and aggregated to the TAZ level. This data set was supplemented by other sources to complete the commuting employment picture in the OKI region. Each zone’s employment was divided into 13 classes based on NAICS codes. NAICS codes assignment to a class was based on the potential for generating trips. Future Year Data: For future year employment projection, calculation was first made of the employment at the regional level. At the regional level, employment is a calculation of the region’s employed labor force minus workers who live in the region but commute out t o work, plus workers who live outside the region but commute in to work. The regional total was disaggregated first to the county level based on historic trends and expected changes in the county’s share of the region’s employment and then to the TAZ level . Disaggregation to TAZs was determined by historical trends, existing and future land use, topography, flood plain information, availability of land, local knowledge and other factors. 

## Area Type Base and Future Year Data: For each analysis year, each TAZ is assigned an area type designation as CBD, Urban, Suburban or Rural based on population and employment densities. 

## Model Calibration OKI’s Travel Demand Model has been validated to observed traffic volumes for the model base year 2005. The modeling net work encompasses the entire ozone Maintenance area with the exception of Clinton County, Ohio. The modeling network also includes Greene, Miami and Montgomery counties in Ohio and the remainder of Dearborn County Indiana. The difference between estimate d vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and 2005 observed VMT is less than 1%. A highway screenline analysis compares the screenline observed and simulated traffic volume discrepancies with the ODOT standard of maximum desirable deviation. The comparison shows th at the model performs at a satisfactory level and all the errors were under the ODOT curve. Further information can be found in OKI’s 2007 report, “ OKI/MVRPC

# 12 OKI Ozone Mobile Source Emissions Inventory for the Cincinnati Ozone Nonattainment Area, Aug. 2015



### Travel Demand Model Methodology/ Validation Report ”. For the calibration, OKI used over 3000 tra ffic counts collected through 2006 by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, many county and local governments, transportation engineering consultants, and OKI. These traffic counts cover nearly 50% percent of t he links in the OKI portion of the modeling network. The methodology provides consistency with past emission inventory and conformity analysis work performed by OKI. Local Inputs and Post - Model Processing OKI incorporates a variety of sources of local da ta to both improve and confirm the accuracy of VMT, as well as other travel

- related parameters. Free flow speeds used on the highway and transit networks are compared to third party data of actual travel speeds gathered by anonymous cell phones, in

- vehicl e navigation systems and GPS

- enabled fleet vehicles. The OKI post

- processing program, IMPACT, uses the loaded highway network to generate VMT by hour, VMT by speed distribution and VMT by facility type. These tables are then combined with MOVES emission factors to generate emissions. Two separate sets of VMT tables are generated: one for the four Ohio counties plus Dearborn County Indiana, and a second for the three Kentucky counties. The VMT by hour tables utilize hourly traffic distribution and direct ional split factors for different roadway types as developed by OKI. The main source of the data is traffic counts from the permanent traffic counting stations located throughout the OKI region for the years of 2008

- 20 12 . This data was supplemented with d ata collected at coverage count stations (locations with counts taken on only one

- two days). The stations were classified by area type: urban and rural, and functional classification: freeway, arterial and collector. Speeds representing various “loaded” c onditions (with traffic volumes) are estimated using techniques from the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. This permits the estimation of speeds as conditions vary from hour to hour on the different facility types throughout the region. The IMPACT program pe rforms the appropriate summation by area and roadway type as well as regional totals. OKI has also developed seasonal conversion factors to adjust traffic volumes to summer conditions. The factors were derived from local data collected at permanent traff ic counting stations during 2008

- 2012 utilizing the average daily traffic monthly conversion factors for June, July and August.

# Ozone CART Model

• Incorporates 30+ meteorological variables

• CART is used to categorize each day by ozone concentration and associated met conditions



# • Results in a decision tree with 10

- 15 branches, each describing the meteorological conditions associated with a particular ozone concentration



# • Trends are then developed for meteorologically similar days to minimize the effects of meteorological variability on ozone trends

# What is CART analysis? – a quick review

• Classification and Regression Tree, aka binary recursive partitioning, decision tree

• Classifies data by yes/no questions

-- is temp. < 75, is 

# RH < 80; easy to interpret

• Nonparametric, so insensitive to distributions of variables



# • Insensitive to transformations of variables

• Insensitive to outliers and missing data

• Frequently more accurate than parametric models

### Public Notice Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Re designation and Maintenance Plan for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati - ,

OH - KY - IN Ozone Nonattainment Area Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren Counties, Ohio Notice is hereby given that the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, (Ohio EPA) is requesting that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) revise the current air quality designation for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN area ; Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren counties in Ohio to attainment with respect to the 2008 eight - hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) . This area is also comprised of partial areas in Dearborn county in Indiana a nd Boone, Campb ell, and Kenton Counties in Kentucky
. Air quality monitoring data collected between 2012 and 2014 in the region demonstrate d attainment of the NAAQS and there was evidence that the improved air quality is due to permanent, e nforceable emissi on reductions. In addition, existing requirements are sufficient to maintain the 2008 eight - hour ozone standard in this area at least ten years into the future

. Projected emissions and c omputer models show that existing state and federal emission reduction requirements are sufficient to attain and maintain the NAAQS in the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN area. Therefore, Ohio EPA proposes to utilize existing emission inventory information and projections of future emissions as the demonstration of the ability to maint ain the NAAQS in the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN area in the future. The Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN area is currently designated as nonattainment for the 2008 ozone standard. As part of an acceptable maintenance plan, Ohio EPA is required to develop a contingency plan to provide for additional emission reductions if a violation of the NAAQS is monitored after the area has been redesignated. The plan which Ohio EPA is proposing to U
. S

. EPA as part of this redesignation contains reductions which will help alleviate the a mbient problem until a revised SIP can be developed. The State of Ohio proposes to: 1. Request the U.S. EPA redesignate the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN area to attainment with respect to the 2008 ozone NAAQS an d revise the maintenance plan. This request will docu ment that existing enforceable control measures are responsible for the observed improvement in air quality. 2. Designate existing controls as sufficient to maintain the NAAQS into the future. 3. Commit to the proposed contingency plan. These actions must be noticed to allow public comment and to satisfy U.S. EPA requirements for public involvement in SIP related activities. This notice addresses Ohio EPA’s reliance on the emission project ion s as evidence of attainment and maintenance and the commitment to institute contingency measures if ambient

## Division of Air Pollution Control Response to Comments Ohio’s 8 - Hour 2008 Ozone Standard Draft Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan for the Ohio Portion of the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN Nonattainment Area Agency Contacts for this Project Erica Fetty, Division of Air Pollution Control, 614 - 644 - 2310, erica.fettydavis@epa.ohio.gov



### Overall Concerns Comment 1: Below is a summary of comments received from Ohio

Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association (OPMCA). The f ull comment letter can be found at the end of this response to comments document. “While the association supports the Director’s redesignation request, OPMCA urges the agency exclude from the maintenance strategy proposed pursuant to the redesignation request the requirement for 7.8 pounds per square inch (P.S.I) Reid Vapor Pressure (R. V.P) gasoline from June 1 through September 15 in counties subject to the gasoline volatility standard.” Furthermore, the commenter provided lengthy background and cost estimate information for RVP fuels. (Bill Behrendt, OPMCA) Ohio EPA held a public hearing in Cincinnati, OH on March 3, 2016, regarding the 2008 8 - Hour Ozone Standard Draft Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan for the Ohio Portion of the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN Nonattainment Area . This document summarizes the c omments and questions received at the public hearing and during the associated comment period , which ended on March 3, 2016
. Ohio EPA reviewed and considered all comments received during the public comment period. By law, Ohio EPA has authority to conside r specific issues related to protection of the environment and public health. In an effort to help you review this document, the questions are grouped by topic and organized in a consistent format. The name of the commenter follows the comment.Page 2 of 4



### Response 1: Thank you for your comments and support of the

redesignation of the Cincinnati area to attainment for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard ( NAAQS ) . Regarding your comments to exclude Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) gasoline from June 1thr ou gh Sep tember 15 from the maintenance plan , Ohio EPA does not believe this mechanism would be the best option for considering removal and/or replacement of the RVP program . RVP fuels in this area are required under Ohio’s SIP as one of the alternative emission re duction programs that replace d the E - Check program that was previously required in this area to control ozone emissions. In order to remove RVP from the SIP for this area, Ohio EPA would be required to address Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 110l and Section 1 93. Section 110l requires any revision to the SIP not interfere with any applicable requirement, including attainment of all NAAQS. Section 193 is the general savings clause, or anti backsliding provisions, that requires any pre - 1990 CAA requirement to r emain in place unless a change ensures equivalent or greater reductions. The E - Check program, which the RVP program replaced, was such a pre - 1990 requirement. Complying with both of these CAA requirements would require significant analyses, such as photo chemical modeling and investigation of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of replacement programs. And until the analyses is complete and any replacement measures are in place, the RVP program would remain a SIP required element. The degree of diffic ulty for the type of analyses that would be required is more complex for areas that are currently nonattainment for a standard or are close to the level of the NAAQS. Therefore, obtaining a redesignation of this area for the 2008 ozone standard would prov e to be more beneficial at this time in potentially considering removal of the RVP program than attempting to do such an analyses while the area is still designated nonattainment. In addition, this area is currently not attaining the newer 2015 ozone NAAQS. Designations will occur around October 2017. There are serious implications for areas that have not been redesignated for an older standard (2008 Ozone NAAQS) when that older standard is r evoked after implementation of a newer standard (2015 Ozone NAAQS). U.S. EPA has indicated they intend to issue the final implementation guidance revoking the 2008 standard at about the same time that area designations are finalized , in October 2017

. E PA expects to complete initial designationsPage 3 of 4 

### by October 1, 2017. One such implication could be a required “bump up” to the next classification, which for this area would be moderate nonattainment. This in turn would trigger additional mandatory requiremen ts (such as an inspection and maintenance program) and prohibit backsliding of the RVP program. USEPA has 18 - months to act on any SIP submittal. Provided we submit this document to USEPA by May 1, 2016, that would allow 17 months until October of 2017. It is in Ohio’s best interest to submit this redesignation request and maintenance plan to USEPA as soon as possible to ensure the area is redesignated by October 2017. It should be noted that USEPA’s requirements for addressing CAA Section 110l and 193 w ould require an analyses under the assumption that the area is designated nonattainment for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS even though it has not occurred at this time. Basically, an analyses of the potential impacts of not moving forward with this redesignatio n request at this time indicates it is in the best interest of Ohio, and the economy of this area, to be redesignated for this standard as quickly as possible. Redesignating the area would only aide in any analyses required to remove the RVP program. And lastly, if it chooses to do so, Ohio can prepare the required RVP removal/replacement analyses and submit that to USEPA at any time for consideration. Therefore, Ohio EPA intends to submit our redesignation request and maintenance plan with the RVP progra m intact and will continue to have discussions with OPMCA and other interested stakeholders regarding the future of the Cincinnati area RVP program outside of the scope of this particular action. Comment 2 : “ From the third paragraph in Chapter 4 (page 18 of the

document - p 26 of the file), it sounds as if you are using the Ozone NAAQS Emissions Modeling platform (2011v6.1) data (generally based on 2011 NEI data) and the 2018 U.S. EPA - projected inventory, and then interpolating the data for point, area and non - road mobile categories to get the 2014 attainment inventory. However, on the following page you state: “The point source data are taken from Ohio's annual emissions reporting program” and “Periodic inventories, which include emissions from all sec tors - mobile, area, non road, and point sources - are prepared every three years.” It is unclear what is actually being done. Because 2014 represents the emission level that supports attainment of the standard, you need to be as accurate asPage 4 of 4 

### possible w hen characterizing 2014 emissions. While interpolation between 2011 and 2018 seems reasonable for area and non - road mobile emissions estimates, the point source data should not be interpolated. Actual point source data form 2014 should be used. I assume this data is available through your annual point source reporting program. ” (Kathleen D’Agostino, U.S. EPA Region 5) Response 2: Ohio EP A has updated the 2014 point emissions for Ohio

counties to reflect data from Ohio’s annual emissions reporting program instead of interpolated data for th e point category . However, because USEPA considers airport emissions a point category and those emissions are not reported directly to any of the States included in thi s nonattainment area, Ohio EPA has created a separate category for airport emissions (AIR) and is continuing to interpolate this data. As can be seen from the airport emissions, they are very minimal compared to other emissions in the area. In addition , O hio EPA has provided clarifying language throughout the document to provide a clear explanation for the methodology of inventory development for each state. And lastly, Ohio EPA did find several minor errors in emissions that were included in our draft and has updated the data to ensure consistency among the three states. None of these updates change the overall analyses of attainment and our ability to ensure maintenance.

### OHIO ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY DIVISION OF AIR POLLUTION CONTROL COMMENTS OF THE OHIO PETROLEUM MARKETERS & CONVENIENCE STORE ASSOCIATION ON THE REDE S I GNATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THE OHIO PORTION OF THE CINCINNATI, OH KY - IN OZONE NONATTAINMENT AREA March 3, 2016 The Ohio Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association (OPMCA) is the statewide trade association in Ohio representing more than 500 independent, small businesses in the petroleum and convenience industry. OPMCA mem bers employ more than 103,000 Ohioans and own and operate an overwhelming majority of the convenience stores in the state . Members on the wholesale side of the industry employ thousands more in commercial fueling facilities, transportation divisions, heati ng oil sales, and home offices. Convenience stores are America’s fueling stations. Convenience stores sell the majority of the gasoline purchased in the country — approximately 80 percent of all fuel sold i n the United States. A total of 6,240 convenience stores sell motor f uels in Ohio, accounting for 6.4 billion gallons sold annually. OPMCA supports the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) i n requesting that the United States Env ironmental Protection Agency (U . S . EPA) revise the current air quality designation for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati, OH

- KY - IN area; Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren counties in Ohio to attainment with respec t to the 2008 eight

- hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality S tandard (NAAQS). Air quality monitoring data collected between 2012 and 2014 in the region has demonstrated attainment of the NAAQS and warrants a redesignation to attainment for the Cincinnati, OH - KY - IN area based on the requirements in Section 107(d ) ( 3 ) ( E) of the CAA. While the association supports the Director’s redesign ation request, OPMCA urges the a gency exclude from the maintenance strategy proposed pursua nt to the redesignation request the requirement for 7.8 pounds per square inch (P.S.I.) Reid Vapor Pressure (R. V.P.) gasoline from June 1 through September 15 in the counties subject to th e gasoline volatility standard. Over a decade ago, Ohio EPA promulgated rules to require Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline from June 1 through September 15 in the counties in and a round the Cincinnati area . Specifically, the administrative rules prohibit a refiner, importer, distributor, reseller, carrier, retailer or wholesale purchaser

- consumer from selling, offering for sale, dispensing, supplying, offering for supply, or transp orting (for use in a low R.V.P. control area) gasoline that has a R.V.P. exceeding 7.8 P.S.I. during the control period, June 1 through September 15. Ohio EPA elected to impose the requirement for Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline in southwest Ohio to repl ace air emission reductions associated with the E

check program. At that time, both the agency and product manufacturers contended that the Lo w Reid 1

### vapor pressure gasoline required in the se counties would cost only $0.01 to $0.03 per gallon more the conventio nal gasoline sold in all other parts of the state. When the rules mandating Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline came up for five

- year rule review in 2015, Ohio EPA once again asserted the re was only a nominal price differential between conventional gas oline and Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline . In fact, Ohio EPA contended in the Business Impact Analysis submitted to the Ohio Common Sense Initiative Office in April 2015 that “ the price of low Reid vapor pressure ga soline will cost approximately $ 0.01 to $0.0 3 more per gallon.” Furthermore, t he agency asserted the increase d cost of a gallon of gas would be “ reasonably low and the total annual cost would be a function of how much g as is purchased.” While the agency’s assertions about the gasoline price differential may have been accurate when the rules were initially promulgated, today they fall far short. Over the course of the last several years, the cost of Low Reid vapor pressur e gasoline has escalated dramatically. By way of example, a survey of convenience retailers in the greater Cincinnati area in July 2015 revealed that the wholesale price for Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline peaked at $0.36 per gallon higher than the wholes ale price of conventional gasoline. According to a leading petroleum analyst, during the 2015 ozone season, the average wholesale price for Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline exceeded the average wholesale price for convention al gasoline by nearly $0.30 per gallon. Motorists in the greater Cincinnati area, then, paid a minimum of $0.20 per gallon more on average for gasoline last summer. Said another way, the air emissions reductions derived from the Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline requirement cost C incinnati area motorists tens of millions of dollars in 2015. Consumers are not the only ones who may suffer. In the hyper

- competitive retail fuel market, the increased wholesale price may be borne by the retailer. For small businesses who lack the buying power and access to pricing discounts enjoyed by larger competitors, this burden can be devastating. As the lifeblood of Ohio’s economy, the viability of small business directly affects the viability of the local community. On multiple occasion s over the last several years , OPMCA has voiced its opposition to the requirement for Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline with Ohio EPA and the Ohio Common Sense Initiative Office . The associati on has encouraged the examination of other control strategies that would derive comparable air emission reductions without overburdening the motoring public or convenience retailers. At the same time the association voiced its concerns, the U .S. EPA approved relaxation of the summer gasoline RVP standards for a number of states as those areas applied for re d esignation, including Grand Parish, Louisiana area, Florida, Raleigh

- Durham

- Chapel Hill area, Greensboro, Winston

- Salem, High Point area in North Carolina, Jefferson and Shelby counties (Birmingham area) Alabama, and Mecklenburg and Gaston counties in North Carolina. Likewise, the association respectfully urge s the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Division of Air Pollution Control to remove the Low Reid vapor pressure gasoline requirement in its proposed maintenance plan and explore alternative, less burdensome control strategies to satisfy the e mission reductions required for redesignation under the 8

- hour ozone NAAQS. 2
