Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 7, 2006 / Notices 11413 

number of means are available to make 

this showing, including the visible 

signal indication mentioned above. 

We are limiting this determination to 

the 2007–2009 model years for two 

reasons. First, we believe that the 

problem of redesigning the covered 

vehicles to accommodate DPFs, though 

a matter of technological necessity, 

arises largely from the time remaining 

before 2007, which precludes 

manufacturers performing an extensive 

redesign of these space-constrained 

vehicles to accommodate the DPFs. 

Given more time, the somewhat larger 

DPFs needed to achieve 150,000 mile 

cleaning intervals could be 

accommodated in vehicle designs 

without compromising mission 

objectives. 

Second, the compliance strategies 

being chosen by the engine 

manufacturers generally entail a two 

step approach to meeting the new NOX

standards, such that NOX aftertreatment 

devices will not be employed until 

2010, and engine/vehicle designs will 

remain stable through the 2007–2009 

phase-in period. Although the 

technology choices for 2010 NOX

control have not yet been made, we 

think it likely that new exhaust system 

space requirements will be added to 

those entailed by the use of DPFs in 

2007. Given that three additional years 

of leadtime are available before 2010, 

and that adjusting the DPF cleaning 

interval can contribute, at best, only 

modest relief to these space constraint 

problems, we expect manufacturers to 

rely on broader vehicle redesigns rather 

than on shorter cleaning intervals to 

resolve any such problems. Should that 

process identify applications in which 

shorter DPF cleaning intervals are still 

technologically necessary for 2010 and 

later heavy-duty vehicles, we would 

expect manufacturers to take this up 

with us in a timely manner.

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, P.L. 92463, EPA gives 

notice of a meeting of the Good 

Neighbor Environmental Board. The 

Board meets three times each calendar 

year at different locations along the 

U.S.-Mexico border and in Washington, 

DC. It was created by the Enterprise for 

the Americas Initiative Act of 1992. An 

Executive Order delegates implementing 

authority to the Administrator of EPA. 

The Board is responsible for providing 

advice to the President and the Congress 

on environmental and infrastructure 

issues and needs within the States 

contiguous to Mexico in order to 

improve the quality of life of persons 

residing on the United States side of the 

border. The statute calls for the Board to 

have representatives from U.S. 

Government agencies; the governments 

of the States of Arizona, California, New 

Mexico and Texas; and private 

organizations with expertise on 

environmental and infrastructure 

problems along the southwest border. 

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss 

the recommendations of the Board’s 9th 

Report on Air Quality and 

Transportation and Cultural and Natural 

Resources. The Board will also hear 

from speakers about the topic of its next 

report: Balancing Border Security and 

Environmental Protection. A copy of the 

meeting agenda will be posted at 

http://www.epa.gov/ocem/gneb. 

DATES: The Good Neighbor 

Environmental Board will hold an open 

meeting on Tuesday, March 14, from 9
