Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 204 / Friday, October 20, 2000 / Notices 63075

submitted the DFW Attainment

Demonstration SIP on April 25, 2000.

The Attainment SIP contained the 2007

motor vehicle emissions budgets for

VOC (107.60 tons/day) and NOX (164.30

tons/day) for the DFW ozone

nonattainment area. On May 9, 2000,

the availability of those budgets was

posted on EPA’s web site for the

purpose of soliciting public comments.

The public comment period closed on

June 8, 2000, and the EPA did not

receive any comments. Also, the

Governor submitted additional

information on the BPA Attainment

Demonstration SIP on April 25, 2000, to

supplement the November 15, 1999,

initial submission. The Attainment SIP

contained the 2007 motor vehicle

emissions budgets for VOC (17.22 tons/

day) and NOX (29.94 tons/day) for the

BPA ozone nonattainment area. On

August 1, 2000, the availability of those

budgets was posted on EPA’s web site

for the purpose of soliciting public

comments. The public comment period

closed on August 31, 2000, and the EPA

did not receive any comments. After the

public comment process, we sent a

letter, dated September 6, 2000, to the

Texas Natural Resource Conservation

Commission stating that these budgets

are adequate and they must be used for

transportation conformity

determinations.

Therefore, the budgets contained in

the submitted DFW and BPA

Attainment SIPs as cited in this notice

must be used for transportation

conformity by the Metropolitan

Planning Organizations in the DFW and

BPA areas.

Dated: September 29, 2000.
