Peer Review Best Practices Workshop 

AGENCY: Department of Energy, Office of 

Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The DOE Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

(EERE) funds a diverse portfolio of 

research, development, demonstration 

and deployment programs and has used 

a variety of peer review approaches to 

select the best projects to perform this 

work. To ensure that EERE continues to 

fund a robust portfolio, an information 

exchange will be held on recent studies 

of federal review processes and 

processes different federal and nonfederal organizations have chosen to 

select research and development 

projects, and on ‘‘best practices’’ for 

reviewing and selecting project 

proposals. The workshop will explore 

classic peer review processes such as 

those at NSF, NIH, and the DOE Office 

of Science for advanced research 

projects, as well as approaches like 

those of DARPA or NIST for projects 

focused on development and 

demonstration projects having 

significant industry cost share. To 

attend the meeting, please e-mail 

JoAnn.Milliken@ee.doe.gov. Please 

identify your affiliation and state 

whether or not you plan to provide 

comments during the public comment

Adequacy Status of the Cleveland/ 

Akron, Ohio Submitted Annual Fine 

Particulate Matter Attainment 

Demonstration 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 found 

that the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEBs) for fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5) and oxides of nitrogen 

(NOX) as a precursor to fine particulate 

matter in the Cleveland/Akron, Ohio 

area are adequate for use in 

transportation conformity 

determinations. Ohio submitted the 

Cleveland/Akron area budgets with the 

attainment demonstration submittal 

initially on July 16, 2008, and 

subsequently submitted the public 

hearing results on December 5, 2008. As 

a result of our finding, the Cleveland/ 

Akron, Ohio area must use the MVEBs 

from the submitted PM2.5 attainment 

demonstration plan for future 

transportation conformity 

determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective February 

10, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

Background 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. On December 7, 2009, 

EPA Region 5 sent a letter to the Ohio 

Environmental Protection Agency 

stating that the 2009 MVEBs for the 

Cleveland/Akron, Ohio area, which 

were submitted with the state’s PM2.5

attainment demonstration, are adequate. 

Receipt of these MVEBs 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/otaq/stateresources/ 

transconf/adequacy.htm. 

The adequate 2009 MVEBs, in tons 

per year (tpy), for PM2.5 and NOX for the 

Cleveland/Akron, Ohio area are as 

follows: 

CLEVELAND/AKRON, OHIO

PM2.5 (tpy) NOX (tpy) 

2009 .......... 818.11 43553.48 

Transportation conformity is required 

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

EPA’s conformity rule 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
