in Docket Nos. CP82–384–000 and

Any person or the Commission’s staff 

may, within 60 days after issuance of 

the instant notice by the Commission, 

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR 

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice 

of intervention and pursuant to section 

157.205 of the regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 

request. If no protest is filed within the 

time allowed therefor, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for filing a protest. If a 

protest is filed and not withdrawn 

within 30 days after the allowed time 

for filing a protest, the instant request 

shall be treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA. 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. Such motions or protests 

must be filed on or before the comment 

date. Anyone filing a motion to

necessary to serve motions to intervene

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–R04–OAR–2010–0019; FRL–9114–2] 

Adequacy Status of the North Carolina 

Portion of the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock 

Hill Bi-State Area Reasonable Further 

Progress Plan 8-Hour Ozone Sub-Area 

Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets for 

Transportation Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Adequacy. 

SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public 

that it has found that the sub-area motor 

vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for 

the North Carolina portion of the 

Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill bi-state 

area (hereafter referred to as the 

Charlotte bi-state area) in the 1997 8- 

Hour Ozone Reasonable Further 

Progress (RFP) plan, submitted on 

November 30, 2009, by the North 

Carolina Department of Air Quality (NC 

DAQ), are adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes. The bi-state 

Charlotte moderate 1997 8-hour ozone 

area is comprised of Charlotte-Gastonia 

in North Carolina; and Rock Hill (a 

portion of York County), South 

Carolina. The North Carolina portion of 

the Charlotte bi-state area is comprised 

of the following sub-areas or counties: 

Cabarrus, Gaston, partial of Iredell 

(Davidson and Coddle Creek 

Townships), Lincoln, Mecklenburg, 

Rowan, and Union. North Carolina’s 

RFP plan includes the required MVEBs 

for volatile organic compounds (VOC), 

and voluntary MVEBs for nitrogen 

oxides (NOX). This action relates only to 

the North Carolina portion of the 

Charlotte bi-state area. EPA is 

considering South Carolina’s RFP for 

the applicable portion of York County in 

a separate action. As a result of EPA’s 

finding, which is being announced in 

this notice, the North Carolina portion 

of the Charlotte bi-state area must use 

the sub-area MVEBs for future 

conformity determinations for the 1997 

8-hour ozone standard. 

DATES: These sub-area MVEBs are 

effective March 8, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Dianna Smith, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 4, Air 

Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, 

SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Ms. Smith 

can also be reached by telephone at 

(404) 562–9207, or via electronic mail at 

smith.dianna@epa.gov. The finding is 

available at EPA’s conformity Web site: 

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

stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is simply an announcement of a 

finding that EPA has already made. EPA 

Region 4 sent a letter to NC DAQ on 

January 12, 2010, stating that the subarea MVEBs identified for the North 

Carolina portion of the Charlotte bi-state 

area in the 1997 8-hour ozone RFP plan, 

submitted on November 30, 2009, are 

adequate and must be used for 

transportation conformity 

determinations in the North Carolina 

portion of the Charlotte bi-state area. 

EPA posted the availability of the subarea MVEBs contained in the North 

Carolina RFP plan on EPA’s Web site on 

December 3, 2009, as part of the 

adequacy process, for the purpose of 

soliciting comments. EPA’s adequacy 

comment period ran from December 3,
