ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL-9121-1]

Official Release of the MOVES2010

Motor Vehicle Emissions Model for

Emissions Inventories in SIPs and

Transportation Conformity

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: EPA is approving and

announcing the availability of the Motor

Vehicle Emissions Simulator model

(MOVES2010) for official use outside of

California. MOVES2010 is the state-ofthe-art upgrade to EPA's modeling tools

for estimating emissions from cars,

trucks, motorcycles, and buses, based on

analysis of millions of emission test

results and considerable advances in the

Agency's understanding of vehicle

emissions.

Today's notice approves the use of

MOVES2010 in official State

implementation air quality plan (SIP)

submissions to EPA and for certain

transportation conformity analyses

outside of California. This notice starts

a two-year grace period before the

MOVES2010 emission model is required

to be used in new regional emissions

analyses for transportation conformity

determinations outside of California.

EPA is not approving MOVES2010 for

project-level transportation conformity

hot-spot analyses at this time; the

Agency will approve the model for such

analyses in the near future in a separate

Federal Register notice when guidance

is finalized.

EPA strongly encourages areas to use

the interagency consultation process to

examine how MOVES2010 will affect

future transportation plan and

transportation improvement program

(TIP) conformity determinations so, if

necessary, SIPs and motor vehicle

emissions budgets can be revised with

MOVES2010 or transportation plans and

TIPs can be revised as appropriate prior

to the end of the MOVES2010

conformity grace period. EPA also

encourages State and local air agencies

to consider how the release of

MOVES2010 will affect analyses

supporting SIP submissions under

development.

DATES: EPA's approval of the

MOVES2010 emissions model for SIPs

and regional emissions analyses for

transportation conformity is effective

March 2, 2010. As discussed further

below, today's approval also starts a

two-year transportation conformity

grace period which ends on March 2,

2012, after which MOVES2010 is

required to be used for new regional

emissions analyses for transportation

conformity.

I. What Is MOVES2010?

MOVES2010 is the state-of-the-art

upgrade to EPA's modeling tools for

estimating emissions from highway

vehicles, based on analysis of millions

of emission test results and considerable

advances in the Agency's understanding

of vehicle emissions. Today's notice

approves MOVES2010 as EPA's official

motor vehicle emissions factor model

for estimating volatile organic

compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides

(NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), direct

particulate matter (PM1 o and PM 2.5) and

other precursors from cars, trucks,

buses, and motorcycles by State and

local agencies for SIP purposes and

regional emissions analyses for

transportation conformity outside of

California. For these purposes,

MOVES2010 replaces the previous

emissions model, MOBILE6.2, which

was released in 2004 (69 FR 28830). 1

MOVES2010 improves upon

MOBILE6.2 in several key respects. For

example, MOVES2010 is based on a

review of the vast amount of in-use

vehicle data collected and analyzed

since the release of MOBILE6.2,

including millions of emissions

measurements from light-duty vehicles.

Analysis of this data has enhanced

'Today's notice does not affect emissions model

requirements within California, where the

EMFAC2007 emissions model is currently approved

for SIP purposes and for regional emissions

analyses and CO hot-spot analyses for

transportation conformity (73 FR 3464).

EPA's understanding of how on-road

mobile sources contribute to emissions

inventories, and has also improved the

agency's understanding of the relative

effectiveness of various control

strategies. MOVES2010 has a databasecentered design that allows users much

greater flexibility in organizing input

and output data. This structure also

allows EPA to update emissions data

incorporated in MOVES2010 more

easily.

MOVES2010 includes the capability

to estimate vehicle exhaust and

evaporative emissions as well as brake

wear and tire wear emissions for criteria

pollutants and precursors. However,

MOVES2010 does not include the

capability to estimate emissions of reentrained road dust. To estimate

emissions from re-entrained road dust,

practitioners should continue to use the

latest approved methodologies.2

II. SIP Policy for MOVES2010

EPA has articulated its policy

regarding the use of MOVES2010 in SIP

development in its "Policy Guidance on

the Use of MOVES2010 for State

Implementation Plan Development,

Transportation Conformity, and Other

Purposes" (EPA-420-B-09-046,

December 2009). Today's notice

highlights certain aspects of the

guidance, but State and local

governments should refer to the

guidance for more detailed information

on how and when to use MOVES2010

in reasonable further progress SIPs,

attainment demonstrations,

maintenance plans, inventory updates,

and other SIP submission requirements.

Although MOVES2010 should be

used in SIP development as

expeditiously as possible, EPA also

recognizes the time and effort that States

have already undertaken in SIP

development using MOBILE6.2. SIPs

that EPA has already approved are not

required to be revised solely based on

existence of the new model. States that

have already submitted SIPs or will

submit SIPs shortly after EPA's approval

of MOVES2010 are not required to

revise these SIPs simply because a new

motor vehicle emissions model is now

available. States can choose to use

2 See EPA's notice of availability published in the

Federal Register on May 19, 2004, 69 FR 28830-

28832. Also see EPA's memoranda: "Policy

Guidance on the Use of the November 1, 2006,

Updated to AP-42 for Re-entrained Road Dust for

SIP Development and Transportation Conformity,"

August 2, 2007; and "Policy Guidance on the Use

of MOBILE6.2 and the December 2003 AP-42

Method for Re-entrained Road Dust for SIP

Development and Transportation Conformity,"

February 24, 2004. These documents are available

on EPA's Web site at: http://www.epa.govlotaql

stateresources/tninsconf/poicy.htm.

MOVES2010 in these SIPs, for example,

if it is determined that it is appropriate

to update motor vehicle emissions

budgets ("budgets") with the

MOVES2010 model for future

conformity determinations. However,

EPA does not believe that a State's use

of MOBILE6.2 should be an obstacle to

EPA approval for SIPs that have been or

will soon be submitted, assuming that

such SIPs are otherwise approvable and

significant SIP work has already

occurred (e.g., attainment modeling for

an attainment SIP has already been

completed with MOBILE6.2). It would

be unreasonable in such cases to require

States to revise these SIPs with

MOVES2010 since significant work has

already occurred, and EPA intends to

act on these SIPs in a timely manner.

States should use MOVES2010 where

SIP development is in its initial stages

or hasn't progressed far enough along

that switching to MOVES2010 would

create a significantly adverse impact on

State resources. For example, States

(except California) that will be

developing on-road mobile source

inventories for 2006 24-hour PM 2.5

NAAQS SIPs should base those

inventories on MOVES2010. EPA

designated nonattainment areas for this

NAAQS on November 13, 2009 (74 FR

58688), which should give State and

local agencies time to incorporate

MOVES2010 into SIP submissions for

this NAAQS. MOVES2010 should be

incorporated into these and other SIPs,

as appropriate, since MOVES2010

emissions estimates are based on the

best information currently available, as

required by Clean Air Act section

172(c)(3) and 40 CFR 51.112(a)(1).

III. Transportation Conformity Policy

for MOVES2010

EPA is establishing a two-year grace

period before MOVES2010 is required

for new transportation plan and TIP

conformity determinations and regional

emissions analyses. This grace period

begins today and ends March 2, 2012.

The remainder of this section describes

how the transportation conformity grace

period was determined and summarizes

how it will be implemented, including

those circumstances when the grace

period could be shorter than two years.

However, for complete explanations of

how MOVES2010 is to be implemented

for transportation conformity, including

details about using MOVES2010 during

the grace period, refer to "Policy

Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for

State Implementation Plan

Development, Transportation

Conformity, and Other Purposes" (EPA420-B-09-046, December 2009). EPA

coordinated closely with the U.S.

9412

HeinOnline -- 75 Fed. Reg. 9412 2010
Federal Register/Vol. 75, No. 40/Tuesday, March 2, 2010/Notices

Department of Transportation (DOT) in

the establishment of the grace period.

A. Length of Conformity Grace Period

Transportation conformity is a Clean

Air Act requirement to ensure that

Federally supported highway and

transit activities are consistent with

("conform to") the SIP. Conformity to a

SIP means that a transportation activity

will not cause or contribute to new air

quality violations; worsen existing

violations; or delay timely attainment of

the national ambient air quality

standards or any interim milestone.

Transportation conformity applies in

nonattainment and maintenance areas

for transportation-related pollutants:

ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), PM 2.5,

PM10, and nitrogen dioxide.

The transportation conformity rule

(40 CFR parts 51 and 93) requires that

conformity determinations be based on

the latest motor vehicle emissions

model approved by EPA. Section

176(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act states that

" * * [t]he determination of

conformity shall be based on the most

recent estimates of emissions, and such

estimates shall be determined from the

most recent population, employment,

travel, and congestion estimates * * *."

When EPA approves a new emissions

model such as MOVES2010, a grace

period is established before the model is

required for conformity analyses. The

conformity rule provides for a grace

period for new emissions models of

between three and 24 months (40 CFR

93.111(b)(1)).

EPA articulated its intentions for

establishing the length of a conformity

grace period in the preamble to the 1993

transportation conformity rule (58 FR

62211):

EPA and DOT will consider extending the

grace period if the effects of the new emissions model are so significant that

previous SIP demonstrations of what

emission levels are consistent with

attainment would be substantially affected.

In such cases, States should have an opportunity to revise their SIPs before MPOs

[metropolitan planning organizations] must

use the model's new emissions factors.

In consultation with DOT, EPA must

consider many factors when

establishing a grace period for

conformity determinations, including

the degree of change in emissions

models and the effects of the new model

on the transportation planning process

(40 CFR 93.111(b)(2)).

Upon consideration of all of these

factors, EPA is establishing a two-year

grace period, which begins today and

ends on March 2, 2012, before

MOVES2010 is required to be used for

regional transportation conformity

purposes. During this grace period,

areas should use the interagency

consultation process to examine the

impact of using MOVES2010 in their

future transportation plan and TIP

conformity determinations and regional

emissions analyses.

B. Circumstances When Grace Period

Will Be Shorter Than Two Years

The grace period will be shorter than

two years for a given pollutant if an area

revises its SIP and budgets with

MOVES2010, and such budgets become

applicable for regional conformity

purposes prior to the end of the twoyear grace period. In this case, the new

regional emissions analysis must use

MOVES2010 if the conformity

determination is based on a

MOVES2010-based budget.

Areas that are designated

nonattainment or maintenance for

multiple pollutants may rely on both

MOVES2010 and MOBILE6.2 to

determine conformity for different

pollutants during the grace period. For

example, if an area revises a previously

submitted (but not approved)

MOBILE6.2-based PM10 SIP with

MOVES2010 and EPA finds these

revised MOVES2010 budgets adequate

for conformity, such budgets would

apply for conformity on the effective

date of the Federal Register notice

announcing EPA's adequacy finding. In

this example, if an area was in

nonattainment for PM10 and ozone, the

MOVES2010 grace period would end for

PM10 once EPA found the new

MOVES2010-based SIP budgets

adequate. However, MOBILE6.2 could

continue to be used for ozone

conformity determinations until the end

of the MOVES2010 grace period.3 EPA

Regional Offices should be consulted for

questions regarding such situations in

multi-pollutant areas.

In addition, if an area revises a

previously approved SIP using

MOVES2010, the revised MOVES2010

budgets would be used for conformity

purposes once EPA approves the

MOVES2010 SIP revision, in most cases.

In general, submitted SIPs cannot

supersede approved budgets until they

are approved. However, 40 CFR

93.118(e)(1) allows an approved budget

to be replaced by an adequate budget if

EPA's approval of the initial budgets

specifies that the budgets being

3 In this example, such an area would use

MOVES2010 to develop a regional emissions

analysis for comparison to the revised MOVES2010-

based budgets (e.g., PM 10 and NOx budgets). The

regional emissions analysis for ozone could be

based on MOBILE6.2 for the VOC and NOx budgets

in the ozone SIP for the remainder of the conformity

grace period.

approved may be replaced in the future

by new adequate budgets. This

flexibility has been used in limited

situations in the past, such as during the

transition from MOBILE5 to MOBILE6.

In such cases, the MOVES2010-based

budgets would be used for conformity

purposes once they have been found

adequate, if requested by the State in its

SIP submission and specified in EPA's

SIP approval. States should consult with

their EPA Regional Office to determine

if this flexibility applies to their

situation.

C. Use of MOVES2010 During the Grace

Period

During the conformity grace period,

areas should use the interagency

consultation process to examine how

MOVES2010 will impact their future

transportation plan and TIP conformity

determinations and any regional

emissions analyses. Areas should

carefully consider whether the SIP and

budgets should be revised with

MOVES2010 or if transportation plans

and TIPs should be revised before the

end of the conformity grace period,

since doing so may be necessary to

ensure conformity in the future.

Regional emissions analyses that are

started during the grace period can use

either MOBILE6.2 or MOVES2010.

When the grace period ends on March

2, 2012, MOVES2010 will become the

only approved motor vehicle emissions

model for regional emissions analyses

for transportation conformity in States

other than California. In general, this

means that all new transportation plan

and TIP conformity determinations

started after the end of the grace period

must be based on MOVES2010, even if

the SIP is based on MOBILE6.2.

Finally, the conformity rule provides

some flexibility for regional emissions

analyses that are started before the end

of the grace period. Analyses that begin

before or during the grace period may

continue to rely on MOBILE6.2. The

interagency consultation process should

be used if it is unclear if a MOBILE6.2-

based analysis was begun before the end

of the grace period. If you have

questions about which model should be

used in your conformity determination,

you can also consult with your EPA

Regional Office.
