**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 (PM 2.5 ) and oxides of nitrogen (NO X ) 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 PM 2.5 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 PM 2.5 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 PM 2.5 and NO X for the Cleveland/Akron, Ohio area are as follows:
