Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle 

Emissions Budgets in Submitted PM10

Maintenance Plan for Sacramento 

County; CA 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that the Agency has 

found that the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEBs) for particulate matter 

with an aerodynamic diameter of a 

nominal 10 microns or less (PM10) for 

the years 2008, 2012, and 2022 in the 

PM10 Implementation/Maintenance Plan 

and Redesignation Request for 

Sacramento County (October 28, 2010) 

(‘‘Sacramento PM10 Plan’’) are adequate 

for transportation conformity purposes. 

The Sacramento PM10 Plan was 

submitted to EPA on December 7, 2010 

by the California Air Resources Board 

(CARB) as a revision to the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) and 

includes a maintenance plan for the 

1987 24-hour PM10 national ambient air 

quality standard. As a result of our 

adequacy findings, the Sacramento Area 

Council of Governments and the U.S. 

Department of Transportation must use 

the MVEBs for future conformity 

determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective 

December 8, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Ungvarsky, U.S. EPA, Region IX, Air 

Division AIR–2, 75 Hawthorne Street, 

San Francisco, CA 94105–3901, (415)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. EPA Region IX sent a 

letter to CARB on November 4, 2011 

stating that the MVEBs in the submitted 

Sacramento PM10 Plan for the years of 

2008, 2012 and 2022 are adequate. The 

finding is available at EPA’s conformity 

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

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

The adequate MVEBs are provided in 

the following table: 

SACRAMENTO PM10 PLAN MVEBS

[Winter season, tons per day] 

Budget year Oxides of 

nitrogen PM10

2008 ...................... 50 15 

2012 ...................... 38 15 

2022 ...................... 19 17 

Receipt of the MVEBs in the 

Sacramento PM10 Plan was announced 

on EPA’s transportation conformity Web 

site on September 1, 2011. We received 

no comments in response to the 

adequacy review posting. The finding is 

available at EPA’s transportation 

conformity Web site: http:// 

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/ 

transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Transportation conformity is required 

by Clean Air Act section 176(c). EPA’s 

conformity rule requires that 

transportation plans, transportation 

improvement programs, and projects 

conform to SIPs and establishes the 

criteria and procedures for determining 

whether or not they do conform. 

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 MVEBs are adequate for 

conformity purposes are outlined in 

40 CFR 93.118(e)(4) which was 

promulgated in our August 15, 1997 

final rule (62 FR 43780, 43781–43783). 

We have further described our process 

for determining the adequacy of 

submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 

2004 final rule (69 FR 40004, 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.

Pesticides: Availability of Pesticide 

Registration Notice Regarding the 

Non-Dietary Exposure Task Force 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing 

the availability of a Pesticide 

Registration Notice (PR Notice) 

regarding the data development efforts 

of the Non-Dietary Exposure Task Force 

(NDETF). This PR Notice (PR Notice 

2011–2) was issued by the Agency on 

November 10, 2011. PR Notices are 

issued by the Office of Pesticide 

Programs to inform pesticide registrants 

and other interested persons about 

important policies, procedures, and 

registration related decisions, and serve 

to provide guidance to pesticide 

registrants and OPP personnel. This 

particular PR Notice updates PR Notice 

2000–7 that initially announced the 

formation of the NDETF. The updated 

Notice provides current information 

concerning the NDETF’s development of 

data supporting pesticide registration, in 

which registrants may wish to 

participate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this notice if you register pesticide 

products intended for residential uses 

under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA). Since other entities may also 

be interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

B. How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information? 

EPA has established a docket for this 

action under docket identification (ID)

Publicly available docket materials are 

available either in the electronic docket 

at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the Office of 

Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory 

Public Docket in Rm. S–4400, One 

Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. 

Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The hours of 

operation of this Docket Facility are 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The Docket Facility telephone 

number is (703) 305–5805. 

II. What guidance does this PR notice 

provide? 

The Agency is announcing the 

issuance of Pesticide Registration Notice 

(PR–2011–2) that addresses the data 

development efforts of the NDETF. The 

formation of the NDETF was initially 

announced in PR Notice 2000–7 which 

was signed on August 4, 2000. When 

registering or periodically reviewing an 

existing registration, the Agency 

evaluates the potential risks to people 

from exposure to the pesticide in and 

around the home. The NDETF was 

formed to develop information on 

exposure to pesticides that can be used 

by EPA, and other regulatory agencies 

responsible for assuring the safety of 

pesticides. Since the initial notice in 

2000, the membership of the task force 

has changed and the specific data needs 

have been better defined. The purpose 

of the PR Notice is to describe what data 

the NDETF has generated and plans to 

generate, to describe how EPA expects 

to use the data, and to inform registrants 

of the opportunity to join NDETF. 

III. Do PR Notices contain binding 

requirements? 

The PR Notice discussed in this 

notice is intended to provide 

information to EPA personnel and 

decision makers and to pesticide 

registrants. While the requirements in 

the statutes and Agency regulations are 

binding on EPA and the applicants, this 

PR Notice is not binding on either EPA 

or pesticide registrants, and EPA may 

depart from the guidance where 

circumstances warrant and without 

prior notice. Likewise, pesticide 

registrants may assert that the guidance 

is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation.
