46948 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 149 / Friday, August 2, 2013 / Notices 

On May 6, 2013, TCEQ submitted as 

a SIP revision updated MVEBs for the 

HGB area. The MVEBs updated the 

March 2010 HGB 1997 8-hour ozone 

RFP and AD SIP revisions to replace the 

on-road mobile source emissions 

inventories for NOX and VOCs based on 

EPA’s MOBILE model with those based 

on EPA’s MOVES model. This submittal 

established MVEBs for the HGB area for 

the years 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 

2018. The MVEB is the amount of 

emissions allowed in the state 

implementation plan for on-road motor 

vehicles; it establishes an emissions 

ceiling for the regional transportation 

network. The MVEBs are provided in 

Tables 1 and 2:

On May 14, 2013, EPA posted the 

availability of the HGB area MVEBs on 

EPA’s Web site for the purpose of 

soliciting public comments, as part of 

the adequacy process. The comment 

period closed on June 13, 2013, and we 

received no comments. 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that EPA has 

already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter 

to TCEQ on July 17, 2013, finding that 

the MVEBs in the HGB 1997 8-hour 

ozone RFP and AD SIPs, submitted on 

May 6, 2013 are adequate and must be 

used for transportation conformity 

determinations in the HGB area. This 

finding has also been announced on 

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. 

EPA’s conformity rule, 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 93, 

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 

so. 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 EPA determines 

whether a SIP’s MVEB is adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We 

have also described the process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final 

rulemaking entitled, ‘‘Transportation 

Conformity Rule Amendments for the 

New 8-hour Ozone and PM2.5 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards and 

Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing 

Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule 

Amendments: Response to Court 

Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’ 

(69 FR 40004). 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 HGB 1997 8-hour ozone 

RFP and AD SIP revision submittals. 

Even if EPA finds the budgets adequate, 

the HGB RFP and AD SIP revision 

submittals could later be disapproved. 

Within 24 months from the effective 

date of this notice, the HGB-area 

transportation partners, such as the 

Houston-Galveston Area Council, will 

need to demonstrate conformity to the 

new MVEBs if the demonstration has 

not already been made, pursuant to 40 

CFR 93.104(e). See 73 FR 4419 (January 

24, 2008).

The Committee will continue to review 

various issues that may include, but not 

be limited to, the latest examination 

policies and procedures, credit and 

lending practices, deposit insurance 

assessments, insurance coverage issues, 

and regulatory compliance matters, as 

well as any obstacles to the continued 

growth and ability of community banks 

to extend financial services in their 

local markets in the current market 

environment. The structure and 

responsibilities of the Committee are 

unchanged from when it was originally 

established in July 2009. The Committee 

will continue to operate in accordance 

with the provisions of the Federal
