AGENCY [EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0443; FRL-8580-1] Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Budget in Submitted Five Percent Plan for PM-10forthe Phoenix Metropolitan Nonattainment Area for Transportation Conformity Purposes; Arizona
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice ofAdequacy.
SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that the Agency has found that the motor vehicle emissions budget in the submitted MAG 2007Five Percent Plan forPM-IO forthe Maricopa CountyNonattainment Area (December 2007)("2007MAG 5% Plan") is adequate for transportation conformity purposes. The 2007 MAG 5% Plan was submitted to EPA on December 21, 2007 by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality as a revision to the Arizona state implementation plan. The 2007 MAG 5% Plan includes a demonstration ofno less than five percent annual emissipns reductions in particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM-10)and a demonstration ofPM-I attainment in the Phoenix metropolitan area by 2010. As a result ofour finding, the Maricopa Association ofGovernments and the U.S. Department ofTransportation must

use the motorvehicle emissions budget from the submitted five percent plan for PM-10 forfuture conformity determinations. DATES: This finding is effective July 1, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wienke Tax, U.S. EPA, Region IX, Air

Division AIR-2, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901; (520) 622-1622 or tax.wienke@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever "we, "us," or "our" is used, we mean EPA.

Today's notice is simply an announcement ofa finding that we have already made. EPA Region IX sent a letter to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Maricopa Association of Governments

on May 30, 2008 stating that the 2010 motorvehicle emissions budget for PM10 in the submitted 2007 MAG 5% Plan is adequate. The budget corresponds to the Phoenix metropolitan PM-10 nonattainment area, which encompasses roughly half ofMaricopa County, including the cities ofPhoenix and Mesa, and also the Apache Junction area ofPinal County, in central Arizona. Receipt of this motorvehicle emissions budget was announced on EPA's transportation conformity Web site, and

no comments were submitted. The finding is available at EPA's conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaql stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm.

The adequate 2010 motor vehicle emissions budget (calculated for an annual average day) are provided in the following table:

.................................. 103.3
Transportation conformity is required by Clean Air Act section 176(c). EPA's conformity rulerequires 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 ornot they do conform. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations,

worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment ofthe national ambient air quality standards.

. The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP's motor vehicle emissions budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We have described our process fordetermining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, preamble starting at 69 FR 40038, and we used the information in these resources while makingour adequacy determination. Please note that an adequacy review is separate from EPA's completeness review, and should notbe used toprejudge EPA's ultimate approval action for the SIP. Even ifwe find a budget adequate, .theSIP could later be disapproved.
