instructions in the public participation 

section below. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the project. 

By becoming a commentor, your 

concerns will be addressed in the EA 

and considered by the Commission. You 

should focus on the potential 

environmental effects of the proposal, 

alternatives to the proposal, and 

measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impact. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. Please carefully follow 

these instructions to ensure that your 

comments are received in time and 

properly recorded: 

• Send an original and two copies of 

your letter to: Philis Posey, Acting 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 

1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

• Label one copy of the comments for 

the attention of Gas Branch 3. 

• Reference Docket No. CP07–90–

000. 

• Mail your comments so that they 

will be received in Washington, DC on 

or before April 30, 2007. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filing of any comments or 

interventions or protests to this 

proceeding. See 18 CFR 

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 

on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link and the link to the User’s 

Guide. Before you can file comments 

you will need to create a free account 

which can be created on-line. 

We may mail the EA for comment. If 

you are interested in receiving it, please 

return the Information Request 

(Appendix 3). If you do not return the 

Information Request, you will be taken 

off the mailing list. 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an official party to the 

proceeding, or ‘‘intervenor’’. To become 

an intervenor you must file a motion to 

intervene according to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Intervenors 

have the right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision. Motions to 

Intervene should be electronically 

submitted using the Commission’s 

eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons without Internet access should 

send an original and 14 copies of their 

motion to the Secretary of the 

Commission at the address indicated 

previously. Persons filing Motions to 

Intervene on or before the comment 

deadline indicated above must send a 

copy of the motion to the Applicant. All 

filings, including late interventions, 

submitted after the comment deadline 

must be served on the Applicant and all 

other intervenors identified on the 

Commission’s service list for this 

proceeding. Persons on the service list 

with e-mail addresses may be served 

electronically; others must be served a 

hard copy of the filing. 

Affected landowners and parties with 

environmental concerns may be granted 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which would not be adequately 

represented by any other parties. You do 

not need intervenor status to have your 

environmental comments considered. 

Environmental Mailing List 

An effort is being made to send this 

notice to all individuals, organizations, 

and government entities interested in 

and/or potentially affected by the 

proposed project. This includes all 

landowners who are potential right-ofway grantors, whose property may be 

used temporarily for project purposes, 

or who own homes within distances 

defined in the Commission’s regulations 

of certain above-ground facilities. By 

this notice we are also asking 

governmental agencies, especially those 

in Appendix 2, to express their interest 

in becoming cooperating agencies for 

the preparation of the EA.

Adequacy Status of the DaytonSpringfield, OH, Submitted 8-Hour 

Ozone Redesignation and Maintenance 

Plan 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 8-hour ozone in 

Dayton-Springfield (Clark, Greene, 

Miami, and Montgomery Counties), 

Ohio-which were submitted as part of a 

redesignation request and maintenance 

plan for this area-are adequate for 

conformity purposes. As a result of our 

finding, Dayton-Springfield must use 

the MVEBs from the submitted 8-hour 

ozone redesignation and maintenance 

plan for future conformity 

determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective April 18, 

2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

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

EPA. 

Background 

Today’s action is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. EPA Region 5 sent a letter 

to the Ohio Environmental Protection 

Agency on February 9, 2007, stating that 

the 2005 and 2018 MVEBs in the 

Dayton-Springfield area are adequate. 

Ohio submitted the budgets as part of 

the 8-hour ozone redesignation request 

and maintenance plan for this area. This 

submittal was announced on EPA’s 

conformity Web site, and received no 

comments: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/ 

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm, 

(once there, click on ‘‘What SIP 

submissions are currently under EPA 

adequacy review?’’). 

The 2005 and 2018 MVEBs, in tons 

per day (tpd), for volatile organic 

compounds (VOC) and oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX) for Dayton-Springfield 

are as follows: 

2005 MVEB 

(tpd) 

2018 MVEB 

(tpd) 

VOC .................. 29.19 14.73 

NOX .................. 63.88 21.42 

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. 

Conformity to a State Implementation 

Plan (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 motor vehicle emission 

budgets are adequate for conformity 

purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 

93.118(e)(4). We have described our 

process for determining 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 making our adequacy 

determination. Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review, and it also should 

not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval of the SIP. Even if we find a 

budget adequate, the SIP could later be 

disapproved. 

The finding and the response to 

comments are available at EPA’s 

conformity Web site: http:// 

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/ 

transconf/adequacy.htm.
