turnover, which may affect future motor 

vehicle emissions inventories, lead to 

motor vehicle emissions estimates above 

the Tier 1 MVEBs. The determination 

will be made through the interagency 

consultation process and fully 

documented within the first conformity 

analysis that uses the Tier 2 MVEBs. 

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://

direct particulate matter (PM) and NOx

MVEBs for Tier 1 and Tier 2 are

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). EPA’s conformity rule requires 

that transportation plans, transportation 

improvement programs, and projects 

conform to 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 MVEBs 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. 

The Commonwealth of Virginia did not 

provide emission budgets for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2), volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs), or ammonia for the 

Washington Area’s Maintenance Plan 

because it concluded that emissions of 

these precursors from motor vehicles are 

not significant contributors to the area’s 

PM2.5 air quality problem. The 

transportation conformity rule provision 

at 40 CFR 93.102(b)(2)(v) indicates that 

conformity does not apply for these 

precursors, due to the lack of motor 

vehicle emissions budgets for these 

precursors and state’s conclusion that 

motor vehicle emissions of SO2, VOCs, 

and ammonia do not contribute 

significantly to the area’s PM2.5

nonattainment problem. This provision 

of the transportation conformity rule 

predates and was not disturbed by the 

January 4, 2013 decision in the litigation 

on the PM2.5 implementation rule. EPA 

has preliminarily concluded that the 

Commonwealth’s decision to not 

include budgets for SO2, VOCs, and 

ammonia is consistent with the 

requirements of the transportation 

conformity rule. That decision does not 

affect EPA’s adequacy finding for the 

submitted direct PM and NOx MVEBs 

for the Washington Area’s Maintenance 

Plan. 

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 the 

budgets for the Washington Area’s 

Maintenance Plan adequate, the SIP 

could later be disapproved. The finding 

and the response to comments are 

available at EPA’s conformity Web site:

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of an effort to 

streamline the process to seek feedback 

from the public on service delivery, the 

Federal Communications Commission 

(FCC) has submitted a Generic 

Information Collection Request to OMB 

for review and approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The FCC invites 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on the following information 

collection. Comments are requested 

concerning: whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Commission, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

Commission’s burden estimate; ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and ways 

to minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. The FCC may 

not conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

No person shall be subject to any 

penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before May 28, 2014. If 

you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments
