Adequacy Determination for the St. 

Louis Area Ozone Early Progress State 

Implementation Plan Motor Vehicle 

Emissions Budgets for Transportation 

Conformity Purposes; State of 

Missouri 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy 

determination. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is notifying the public 

that we have found that the motor 

vehicle emissions budgets (MVEB) 

contained in the 8-hour Ozone Early 

Progress Plan submitted as a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision on 

August 16, 2013, by the Missouri 

Department of Natural Resources 

(MDNR), are adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes. Emissions 

estimates for 2015 were included in the 

8-hour Ozone Early Progress plan based 

on projected emission inventories for 

that year which established the MVEBs. 

This notice formalizes the 2015 mobile 

emissions estimates as adequate MVEBs 

for future conformity determinations 

related to the ozone NAAQS. 

DATES: This notice is effective on March 

19, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. The word 

‘‘budget(s)’’ refers to the motor vehicle 

emission budgets for volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides 

(NOX). The word ‘‘SIP’’ in this 

document refers to the Early Progress 

Plan for the St. Louis 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Area submitted by 

MDNR to EPA as a SIP revision on 

August 16, 2013. 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that EPA has 

already made. EPA Region 7 sent a letter 

to MDNR on October 28, 2013, stating 

that the MVEBs contained in the Early 

Progress Plan were adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes. As 

a result of EPA’s finding, the State of 

Missouri must use the MVEBs from the 

August 16, 2013, 8-hour Ozone Early 

Progress Plan for future transportation 

conformity determinations for the St. 

Louis area for the ozone NAAQS. The 

finding is available at EPA’s conformity 

Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Transportation conformity is required 

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

as amended in 1990. EPA’s conformity 

rule requires that transportation plans, 

programs and projects conform to state 

air quality implementation plans and 

establishes the criteria and procedure 

for determining whether or not they do. 

Conformity to a 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). Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review, and it should not 

be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval of the SIP. EPA plans to take 

action on the SIP at a later date. We 

have described our process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in 40 CFR 93.118(f), and 

have followed this rule in making our 

adequacy determination.
