Adequacy Status of the West Virginia 

Portion of the Steubenville-Weirton, 

WV-OH Nonattainment Area Submitted 

for the 2006 Fine Particulate Matter 

Standard Redesignation Request and 

Maintenance Plan for Transportation 

Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that we have made 

insignificance findings through the 

transportation conformity adequacy 

process, under the Clean Air Act (CAA), 

for directly emitted fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides 

(NOX) in the West Virginia portion of 

the Steubenville-Weirton, WV-OH 2006 

PM2.5 national ambient air quality 

standard (NAAQS) nonattainment area. 

West Virginia submitted the 

insignificance findings with the 

redesignation request and maintenance 

plan submittal on June 8, 2012. As a 

result of EPA’s findings, the West 

Virginia portion of the SteubenvilleWeirton, WV-OH nonattainment area is 

no longer required to perform a regional 

emissions analysis for directly emitted 

PM2.5, or NOX, as part of future PM2.5

conformity determinations for the 2006 

daily PM2.5 air quality standard. 

DATES: Effective on December 19, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Gregory Becoat, Environmental 

Scientist, Office of Air Quality Planning,

Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, PA 19103, (215) 814– 

2036, becoat.gregory@epa.gov 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today’s 

notice is simply an announcement of a 

finding that EPA has already made. EPA 

Region III sent a letter to the West 

Virginia Department of Environmental 

Protection on September 25, 2013 

stating that EPA has made 

insignificance findings, through the 

adequacy process, for PM2.5 and NOX for 

the West Virginia portion of the 

Steubenville-Weirton, WV-OH 2006 

PM2.5 NAAQS nonattainment area, as 

the State had requested in its 

redesignation and maintenance plan 

submittal. Receipt of the submittal was 

announced on EPA’s transportation 

conformity Web site. No comments were 

received. The findings letter is available 

at EPA’s conformity Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/

transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the CAA. EPA’s 

conformity rule requires that 

transportation plans, transportation 

improvement programs, and projects 

conform to state air quality 

implementation plans (SIPs) and 

establishes the criteria and procedures 

for determining whether or not they do. 

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 we determine 

whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emission 

budgets are adequate for conformity 

purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 

93.118(e)(4). EPA described the process 

for determining the adequacy of 

submitted SIP budgets in a July 1, 2004 

preamble starting at 69 FR 40038 and 

used the information in these resources 

in making this adequacy determination. 

Please note that an adequacy review is 

separate from EPA’s completeness 

review, and should not be used to 

prejudge EPA’s ultimate approval action 

for the SIP. Even if EPA finds a budget 

adequate, the SIP could later be 

disapproved. 

The finding and the response to 

comments are available at EPA’s 

conformity Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/

transconf/adequacy.htm.

III. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that 

a registrant of a pesticide product may 

at any time request that any of its 

pesticide registrations be canceled. 

FIFRA further provides that, before 

acting on the request, EPA must publish 

a notice of receipt of any such request 

in the Federal Register. 

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires 

that before acting on a request for 

voluntary cancellation, EPA must 

provide a 30-day public comment 

period on the request for voluntary 

cancellation or use termination. In 

addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) 

requires that EPA provide a 180-day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless: 

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the comment period, or 

2. The EPA Administrator determines 

that continued use of the pesticide 

would pose an unreasonable adverse 

effect on the environment. 

The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II. 

have not requested that EPA waive the 

180-day comment period. Accordingly, 

EPA will provide a 180-day comment 

period on the proposed requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation should submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products that are 

currently in the United States and that 

were packaged, labeled, and released for 

shipment prior to the effective date of 

the cancellation action. Because the 

Agency has identified no significant 

potential risk concerns associated with 

these pesticide products, upon 

cancellation of the products identified 

in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA anticipates 

allowing registrants to sell and 

distribute existing stocks of these 

products for 1 year after publication of 

the cancellation order in the Federal 

Register. Thereafter, registrants will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

the pesticides identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II., except for export consistent 

with FIFRA section 17 or for proper 

disposal. Persons other than registrants 

will generally be allowed to sell, 

distribute, or use existing stocks until 

such stocks are exhausted, provided that 

such sale, distribution, or use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled products.
