Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest in any of the above proceedings 

must file in accordance with Rules 211 

and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 

and 385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern 

time on the specified comment date. It 

is not necessary to separately intervene 

again in a subdocket related to a 

compliance filing if you have previously 

intervened in the same docket. 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. 

Anyone filing a motion to intervene or 

protest must serve a copy of that 

document on the Applicant. In reference 

to filings initiating a new proceeding, 

interventions or protests submitted on 

or before the comment deadline need 

not be served on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

As it relates to any qualifying facility 

filings, the notices of self-certification 

[or self-recertification] listed above, do 

not institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status. A notice of 

self-certification [or self-recertification] 

simply provides notification that the 

entity making the filing has determined 

the facility named in the notice meets 

the applicable criteria to be a qualifying 

facility. Intervention and/or protest do 

not lie in dockets that are qualifying 

facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to 

challenge such qualifying facility status 

may do so by filing a motion pursuant 

to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention 

and protests may be filed in response to 

notices of qualifying facility dockets 

other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of protests and 

interventions in lieu of paper, using the 

FERC Online links at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic 

service, persons with Internet access 

who will eFile a document and/or be 

listed as a contact for an intervenor 

must create and validate an 

eRegistration account using the 

eRegistration link. Select the eFiling 

link to log on and submit the 

intervention or protests. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the intervention or protest to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 

20426. 

The filings in the above proceedings 

are accessible in the Commission’s 

eLibrary system by clicking on the 

appropriate link in the above list. They 

are also available for review in the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room in 

Washington, DC. There is an

Adequacy Status of the HoustonGalveston-Brazoria, Texas Reasonable 

Further Progress and Attainment 

Demonstration 8-Hour Ozone Motor 

Vehicle Emission Budgets for 

Transportation Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy 

determination. 

SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public 

that it has found that the motor vehicle 

emissions budgets (MVEBs) in the 

Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, Texas 

(HGB) Reasonable Further Progress 

(RFP) and Attainment Demonstration 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revisions, submitted on April 1st and 

April 6th, 2010 respectively, by the 

Texas Commission on Environmental 

Quality (TCEQ) are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes. As 

a result of EPA’s finding, the HGB area 

must use these budgets for future 

conformity determinations for the 1997 

8-hour ozone standard. 

DATES: These budgets are effective 

February 9, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

essential information in this notice will 

be available at EPA’s conformity Web 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ refers to EPA. The word 

‘‘budget(s)’’ refers to the mobile source 

emissions budget for volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) and the mobile 

source emissions budget for nitrogen 

oxides (NOX). 

On April 1st and April 6th, 2010, we 

received State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) revisions from the Texas 

Commission on Environmental Quality 

(TCEQ). These revisions consisted of a 

Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) SIP 

and an Attainment Demonstration SIP 

for the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria 

(HGB) ozone nonattainment area. These 

submissions established motor vehicle 

emissions budgets (MVEB) for the HGB 

area for the years 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 

and 2018. The MVEB is the amount of 

emissions allowed in the state 

implementation plan for on-road motor 

vehicles; it establishes an emissions 

ceiling for the regional transportation 

network. The MVEBs are provided in 

Tables 1 and 2:

On June 24, 2010, EPA posted the 

availability of the HGB area budgets on 

EPA’s Web site, as part of the adequacy 

process, for the purpose of soliciting 

public comments. The comment period 

closed on July 26, 2010, and we 

received no comments. 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that EPA has 

already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter 

to TCEQ on October 8, 2010, finding 

that the MVEBs in the HGB RFP and 

Attainment Demonstration SIPs, 

submitted on April 1st and April 6th, 

2010 respectively, are adequate and 

must be used for transportation 

conformity determinations in the HGB 

area. This finding has also been 

announced on EPA’s conformity Web 

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

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

EPA’s conformity rule, 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 93, 

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 do 

so. Conformity to a 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 EPA determines 

whether a SIP’s MVEB is adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We 

have also described the process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final 

rulemaking entitled, ‘‘Transportation 

Conformity Rule Amendments for the 

New 8-hour Ozone and PM2.5 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards and 

Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing 

Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule 

Amendments: Response to Court 

Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’ 

(69 FR 40004). Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review, and it should not 

be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval of the HGB RFP SIP and 

Attainment Demonstration SIP revision 

submittals. Even if EPA finds the 

budgets adequate, these submittals 

could later be disapproved. 

Within 24 months from the effective 

date of this notice, the transportation 

partners will need to demonstrate 

conformity to the new MVEBs if the 

demonstration has not already been 

made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e). 

See, 73 FR 4419 (January 24, 2008).
