resolve certain copyright-related 

disputes that have a total monetary 

value of $30,000 or less. On May 17, 

2022, the Copyright Office published a 

final rule addressing various topics 

governing the CCB, including how to 

obtain a certified official record of a 

CCB proceeding (the ‘‘May 17 Rule’’).1

The Office needed to promulgate a rule 

governing such requests due to the 

CASE Act’s requirements for Federal 

court enforcement of the CCB’s final 

determinations. Under the CASE Act, in 

situations where the non-prevailing 

party fails to comply with the final 

determination issued by the CCB in a 

proceeding, the prevailing party may 

‘‘apply to [an appropriate U.S. district 

court] for an order confirming the relief 

awarded in the final determination and 

reducing such award to judgment.’’ 2

Any such application to a Federal 

district court must include a ‘‘certified 

copy of the final or amended final 

determination of the [CCB], as reflected 

in the records of the [CCB].’’ 3

The May 17 Rule stated that the CCB 

will certify the official record of a 

proceeding ‘‘[u]pon a written request to 

the Records Research and Certification 

Section [(‘‘RRC’’)] of the U.S. Copyright 

Office . . . and payment of the 

appropriate fee.’’ 4 Pursuant to this rule, 

the Office’s general process and fees for 

the retrieval, copying, and certification 

of Office records are applied to requests 

for a certified official record of a final 

CCB determination. The Office’s 

combined fees for retrieval, copying, 

and certification, however, are likely to 

result in an amount that is more than 

the cost of initiating a proceeding before 

the CCB.5

This final rule creates a different 

process and fee for retrieving, copying, 

and certifying CCB determinations. 

Instead of making such certification 

requests to RRC, the final rule makes the 

CCB itself responsible for handling 

these requests.6 Further, to better reflect 

the statutory requirement that the ‘‘final 

determination’’ is the required 

documentation that must be submitted 

to a Federal district court to confirm the 

CCB award,7 the rule reflects that only 

the final or amended final 

determination must be certified and not 

the entire record. Finally, the Office 

believes that until it engages in a fee 

study,8 it is reasonable to set the new fee 

at $15—a fee very similar to what it 

charges for copying records.9 This lower 

fee is reasonable because, in contrast to 

the challenges of locating and certifying 

other Office records, the CCB’s records 

are located on a dedicated electronic 

filing and case management platform 

(known as ‘‘eCCB’’) where they can be 

quickly retrieved for certification. 

The Office is aware that there already 

may be circumstances where the CCB 

has issued a final determination, and a 

non-prevailing party has failed to pay 

damages (or has failed otherwise to 

comply with the relief awarded in the 

Board’s final determination) in a timely 

manner. While prevailing parties could 

pay the currently applicable fee for 

records retrieval and certification, 

consistent with the goals of a smallclaims tribunal to be affordable and 

efficient, it is appropriate to provide 

such parties immediate relief from 

paying these higher costs and 

streamlining the process to make such 

requests. For these reasons, the Office 

finds good cause to issue a direct final 

rule in this proceeding without first 

engaging in a public notice and 

comment process.10 Similarly, the 

Office finds that engaging in a notice 

and comment procedure would 

effectively unduly delay relief to 

prevailing parties in CCB proceedings 

and therefore finds good cause exists to 

issue these regulations as a final rule 

with an immediate effective date.11

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving state 

implementation plan (SIP) revisions 

submitted by the District of Columbia 

(the District), State of Maryland (MD), 

and Commonwealth of Virginia (VA). 

The revisions update the motor vehicle 

emissions budgets (MVEBs) and the 

onroad and nonroad (except for marine, 

airport, and railroad) mobile emissions 

for volatile organic compounds (VOC) 

and nitrogen oxides (NOX) for the years 

2025 and 2030. EPA is approving the 

updated MVEBs and updates to the 

applicable onroad and nonroad mobile 

emissions for VOC and NOX for the 

years 2025 and 2030. EPA is also 

approving the allocation of a portion of 

the safety margins for VOC and NOX in 

the ozone maintenance plan to the 2025 

and 2030 MVEBs. The MVEBs will be 

available for transportation conformity 

purposes, in accordance with the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

November 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On November 14, 2023, September 6, 

2023, and October 11, 2023, the District, 

Maryland, and Virginia, respectively, 

formally submitted requests to update 

the 2008 8-Hour Ozone national 

ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) 

maintenance plan for the Washington, 

DC-MD-VA 2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS 

Maintenance Area (hereafter ‘‘the 

Washington Area’’ or ‘‘the Area’’). These 

revisions update the Area’s maintenance 

plan to include revised onroad and 

nonroad MVEBs for VOCs and NOX that 

reflect the updated EPA Motor Vehicle 

Emission Simulator (MOVES3.04) 

model. 

On June 3, 2024 (89 FR 47474), EPA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) for the Area. The 

Area submitted SIP revisions that 

included an update to the MVEBs for 

VOCs and NOX, that were initially 

developed using the MOVES2014a 

model, for the years 2025 and 2030. In 

the NPRM, EPA proposed approval of 

revisions to update the Area’s 

maintenance plan to include revised 

onroad and nonroad MVEBs for VOCs 

and NOX that reflect the updated EPA 

MOVES3.04 model and increased 

onroad vehicle emission rates. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA 

Analysis 

EPA’s analysis of the Area’s SIP 

submittal indicates that maintenance of 

the 2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS will 

continue to be demonstrated for the 

Area, after updating the 2025 and 2030 

MVEBs, for NOX and VOC, using 

MOVES3.0.4 and updated planning 

assumptions. The details of the Area’s 

submittal and the rationale for EPA’s 

action are further explained in the 

NPRM and will not be restated here. 

Comments on the June 3, 2024 (89 FR 

47474) NPRM were due on or before 

July 3, 2024. EPA received one comment 

that was not relevant to this action and 

will not be addressed here. 

The updated 2025 and 2030 MVEBs, 

for NOX and VOC, will ensure that 

transportation emissions conform with 

each state’s SIP. Table 1 in this 

document, provides the newly revised 

MVEBs for 2025 and 2030 along with 

the retained 2014 MVEBs from the 2017 

plan (using MOVES2014a) in tons per 

day (tpd). The Area added only portions 

of the total available safety margins for 

VOC and NOX when developing the 

revised MVEBs for 2025 and 2030 for 

the projected onroad mobile VOC and 

NOX emissions. The allocation will add 

5.58 tpd of VOC and 9.30 tpd of NOX

from the safety margins to the 2025 

emission inventories, and 4.35 tpd of 

VOC and 6.85 tpd of NOX from the 

safety margins to the 2030 emission 

inventories.
