19206 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

1The three States developed and submitted the 

‘‘Plan to Improve Air Quality in the Washington, 

DC-MD-VA Region, State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

for 8-Hour Ozone Standard, Moderate Area SIP’’ 

(hereafter the Washington Area 8-hour ozone plan). 2Effective July 20, 2012 (77 FR 30088, May 21, 

2012), EPA designated and classified nonattainment 

areas under the 2008 ozone NAAQS codified at 40 

CFR 50.15 for most areas of the country including 

the Washington Area. The Washington Area was 

designated as nonattainment and classified as 

marginal nonattainment. The boundaries of the 

ozone nonattainment area classified as moderate 

under the 1997 ozone NAAQS are the same as those 

of the ozone nonattainment area classified as 

marginal under the 2008 ozone NAAQS. See 40 

CFR 81.309, 81.321 and 81.347. Hereafter, when 

referring to the Washington Area in relation to SIP 

requirements required solely due to the 2008 ozone 

NAAQS, the term ‘‘Washington 2008 Ozone 

Nonattainment Area’’ will be used. 

3The attainment demonstration was required 

under 40 CFR 51.908 to demonstrate attainment of 

the 1997 ozone NAAQS by the applicable 

attainment date of June 15, 2010 (the June 2010 

attainment date).

Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving the 

attainment demonstration and 

associated contingency measures and 

motor vehicle emission budgets 

(MVEBs) for the Washington, DC-MDVA, moderate ozone nonattainment area 

(Washington Area) for the 1997 8-hour 

ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard (NAAQS) as submitted by the 

District of Columbia, the State of 

Maryland, and the Commonwealth of 

Virginia as revisions to each of their 

State Implementation Plans (SIPs). EPA 

has determined that each of the three 

SIP revisions including specifically the 

attainment demonstration, contingency 

measures and MVEBs meet the 

applicable requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA or Act), and EPA is approving 

each revision. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

May 11, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The District of Columbia, the State of 

Maryland, and the Commonwealth of 

Virginia submitted formal SIP revisions 

on June 12, 2007, June 4, 2007, and June 

12, 2007, respectively (hereafter the 

June 2007 SIP revisions). These June 

2007 SIP revisions were submitted to 

address CAA requirements for the 1997 

ozone NAAQS and included the 2002 

base year emissions inventory, the 15 

percent reasonable further progress plan 

(RFP) (15% RFP plan), RFP contingency 

measures, an attainment demonstration 

to show attainment of the 1997 ozone 

NAAQS by June 15, 2010, a reasonably 

available control measures (RACM) 

analysis, and contingency measures for 

failure to attain. In addition, the 

submission included the transportation 

conformity 2008, 2009, and 2010 year 

MVEBs associated with the RFP plan, 

the attainment demonstration and 

contingency measures, respectively. The 

District of Columbia Department of the 

Environment (DDOE), the Maryland 

Department of the Environment (MDE), 

and the Virginia Department of 

Environmental Quality (VADEQ) 

(hereafter referred to as the three States) 

jointly developed the June 2007 SIP 

revisions.1

These elements of the Washington 

Area 8-hour ozone plan were required 

for the Washington Area by sections 

172(c), 182(a), and 182(b)(1) of the CAA 

due to the classification of the 

Washington Area as a moderate ozone 

nonattainment area under the 1997 

ozone NAAQS. The boundaries of the 

Washington Area are defined in the 

tables for ‘‘1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS 

(Primary and Secondary)’’ in 40 CFR 

81.309, 81.321 and 81.347.2

On September 11, 2011 (76 FR 58116), 

EPA approved portions of the June 2007 

SIP revisions for the three States 

including the 2002 base year emissions 

inventory, 15% RFP plan and associated 

MVEBs for 2008, RFP contingency 

measures, and the RACM analysis. In 

this rulemaking action, EPA is 

approving the remaining portions of the 

June 2007 SIP revisions for the 1997 

ozone NAAQS including the attainment 

demonstration, the contingency 

measures, and the associated 2009 and 

2010 year MVEBs.3 In a March 20, 2013 

notice of proposed rulemaking (the 

March 20, 2013 NPR), EPA proposed to 

approve these remaining elements of the 

June 2007 SIP revisions. 78 FR 17161.
