Bob,

We will change the minutes per Dianna’s email below for her first comment (add 2006 as a budget

year). But wanted to confirm her second comment. Will the SIP revision set MVEBs for 2006 and

2021? Let me know what you think and we will revise and distribute our revised meeting minutes.

Thank you,

Kenny

Subject: RE: SIP Revision Budget Years and Memphis MPO Conformity

Hello Kenny,

See below for my comments. The minutes from the call are in yellow. My comments are in blue

writing.

The need for the revision is, in part, the result of the termination of the City of

Memphis’ Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program as a Control Measure. The

revision will address Ozone and it precursors; Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)

and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx). Carbon Monoxide is not being addressed as part of

the SIP revision. The current Motor Vehicle Emission Budget (MVEB) years for the

precursors of Ozone are 2009, 2017, and 2021.

· The SIP also had a MVEB for 2006

For these reasons, it was agreed by those on the call that the SIP would consist of a

base analysis year of 2006 and a final year of 2021.
· It was my understanding that a MVEBs would also be set for 2006 and 2021. Please clarify?

Subject: RE: SIP Revision Budget Years and Memphis MPO Conformity

Hi Kenny,

Hopefully we can convene the IAC here soon... when EPA gets to come back to work. That would

be my recommendation. Maybe a pre-analysis consensus plan can be developed and shared with

the IAC for consideration before the call. I’m wondering why we are considering MVEBs for years

other than 2017 and 2021. Does the MPO wish to have an earlier year to not have to conduct the

interim emissions test on the earlier years? Also, I can’t say what might constrain us – if anything -

from dropping or changing MVEB years in the SIP. Those are questions I would like to hear EPA’s

response to so we can see what we have to work with. Maybe we can start with a clean slate?

Marc

Subject: SIP Revision Budget Years and Memphis MPO Conformity

Dear IAC Members.

The Shelby County Health Department is revising the Memphis-Shelby County portion of the

Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP). The need for the revision is, in part, the result of the

termination of the City of Memphis’ Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program as a Control

Measure. Realizing the potential impact on the Memphis MPO and the conformity determination,

the Shelby County Health Department sought feedback from the MPO on identifying the analysis

years to be established in the revised SIP. Two alternative analysis year scenarios were described

by the Health Department as shown below:
Alternative 1 – 2006, 2009, 2017, and 2021

Alternative 2 – 2006, 2015, 2017, and 2021

Both alternatives satisfy the requirements of SIPs, with the only difference being the interim year

of 2009 and 2015. The preference of the Memphis MPO is to use the budget years in Alternative

2. The benefit of using Alternative 2 is that all of the analysis years, with the exception of 2006,

have already been conducted. Also, 2015, as opposed to 2009, is a future year and would provide

more useful information for decision making for transportation planning. Some additional

information for your information is below:

· Current Motor Vehicle Emission Budget (MVEB) years are 2009, 2017, and 2021

· 2040 LRTP and TIP conformity documents approved on March 30, 2012; and with next

LRTP and conformity due March 30, 2016.

Please provide feedback and let us know if there are any other factors that should be considered

by the MPO for the analysis years to be used by the Shelby County Health Department’s revision to

the SIP.

Thank you,

Kenny
