Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the proposed project. 

If the EA is published for distribution, 

copies will be sent to the environmental 

mailing list for public review and 

comment. If the EA is published for 

distribution, copies will be sent to the 

environmental mailing list for public 

review and comment. If you would 

prefer to receive a paper copy of the 

document instead of the CD version or 

would like to remove your name from 

the mailing list, please return the 

attached Information Request (appendix 

2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor,’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are included in the User’s 

Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the 

Commission’s Web site. 

Additional Information

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs,

provides access to the texts of formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries and direct links to the 

documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/ 

esubscribenow.htm. 

Finally, public meetings or site visits 

will be posted on the Commission’s 

calendar located at http://www.ferc.gov/

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,
