1EPA originally informed the District, Maryland, 

and Virginia that the 2014, 2025, and 2030 MVEBs 

were adequate for use in transportation conformity 

analyses in letters dated July 18, 2018. EPA revised 

language in these letters and sent the revised letters 

to the District, Maryland, and Virginia on July 24, 

2018. The original and revised letters are available 

online at http://www.regulations.gov as well as 

EPA’s conformity website: https://www.epa.gov/

On May 21, 2018, EPA posted the 

availability of the 2014, 2025, and 2030 

NOX and VOC MVEBs for the 

Washington Area on EPA’s website for 

the purpose of soliciting public 

comments as part of the adequacy 

process. The comment period closed on 

June 20, 2018 and EPA received no 

comments. 

This document is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. EPA Region III sent 

letters to the District of Columbia 

Department of Energy and Environment 

(DOEE), Maryland Department of the 

Environment (DOE), and the Virginia 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(DEQ) on July 24, 2018 finding that the 

2014, 2025, and 2030 NOX and VOC 

MVEBs in the maintenance plan for the 

Washington Area submitted by the 

District, Maryland, and Virginia on 

March 12, 2018, January 29, 2018, and 

January 3, 2018, respectively, are 

adequate and must be used for 

transportation conformity 

determinations in the Washington 

Area.1 The finding and associated letters 

are available at EPA’s conformity 

website: https://www.epa.gov/state-andlocal-transportation. 

Transportation conformity is required 

by Clean Air Act (CAA) section 176(c). 

EPA’s conformity rule requires that 

transportation plans, transportation 

improvement programs, and projects 

conform to state air quality 

implementation plans (SIPs) and 

establishes the criteria and procedures 

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 NAAQS. 

The criteria by which we determine 

whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for 

conformity purposes are outlined in 40 

CFR 93.118(e)(4). We’ve 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 in making our adequacy 

determination. Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review and should not be 

used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval action for the SIP. Even if we 

find a budget adequate, the SIP could 

later be disapproved. 

The finding for the 2014, 2025, and 

2030 NOX and VOC MVEBs contained 

in the maintenance plan for the 

Washington Area and the response to 

comments are available at EPA’s 

conformity website: https://

www.epa.gov/state-and-localtransportation.

forward. For more information, go to the

the event. 

The PFAS National Leadership 

Summit: On May 22–23, 2018, the EPA 

hosted the PFAS National Leadership 

Summit. During the summit, 

participants worked together to share 

information on ongoing efforts to 

characterize risks from PFAS, develop 

monitoring and treatment/cleanup 

techniques, identify specific near-term 

actions (beyond those already 

underway) that are needed to address 

challenges currently facing states and 

local communities, and develop risk 

communication strategies that will help 

communities to address public concerns 

regarding PFAS. 

The EPA wants to assure the public 

that their input is valuable and 

meaningful. Using information from the 

National Leadership Summit, public 

docket, and community engagements, 

the EPA plans to develop a PFAS 

Management Plan for release later this 

year. A summary of the North Carolina 

Community Engagement will be made 

available to the public following the 

event on the EPA’s PFAS Community 

Engagement website at: https://

www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-communityengagement.
