I hereby certify that, in my opinion,

Commission deliberations concerning a

of investigative records compiled for law

enforcement purposes, or information which

if written would be contained in such

records, the disclosure of which would

interfere with enforcement proceedings.

civil action or proceeding or the conduct of

a particular case involving a determination

on the record after opportunity for a hearing.

The relevant exemptions on which this

certification is based are set forth in the

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[AMS–FRL–5699–8]

Air Pollution Control; Motor Vehicle

Emission Factors

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency is now in the process of

developing revision and improvements

to the highway vehicle emission factor

model (the MOBILE model). The current

version of the model, MOBILE5a, was

released for use March 26, 1993. The

next version of the model, MOBILE6, is

tentatively planned for completion early

in 1998 and release for use in the

summer of 1998. This notice announces

the first public workshop for the

purpose of discussing issues raised by

the pending revisions to the model, and

provides the first formal opportunity for

comment and reaction to the plans for

data collection, analysis, and proposed

model revisions. There will be at least

one additional MOBILE6 workshop,

most probably to be held late this year.

The workshop will also include a short

presentation concerning EPA’s plans for

development of a nonroad mobile

source emission inventory model.

DATES: The workshop will be held

Wednesday, March 19 and Thursday,

March 20, 1997. The times are from 8:30

am to 5:00 pm March, and 8:30 am to

3:00 pm March 20. Al times are Eastern

Standard Time.

ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held

in Powsley Auditorium of the Morris

Lawrence Building, Washtenaw

Community College, 400 East Huron

River Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48106.

Directions to the workshop can be

requested from the contact person listed

below, or from the EPA Technology

Transfer Network (TTN) bulletin board

system (BBS), or through accessing the

OMS World Wide Web (WWW) site.

Information on how to electronically

access this and other workshop-related

information appears immediately below.

OMS Section, Models & Utilities

Subsection

Under Section 130 of the Clean Air

Act Amendments of 1990, EPA is

required to review, and to revise a

necessary, the emission factors used to

estimate emissions of volatile organic

compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide

(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) from

area and mobile sources. In the case of

highway vehicles, emission factors for

these pollutants as a function of various

parameters are estimated using the

highway vehicle emission factor model,

commonly referred to as MOBILE. This

model, which was first developed in the

late 1970s, has been revised, updated,

and improved periodically since that

time to account for increasing data and

analyses concerning in-use emissions

performance of highway vehicles,

changes in vehicle and emission control

technology, changes in fuel

composition, strengthening of

applicable emission standards,

refinements to applicable test

procedures, and other items that affect

emission levels in use.

Section 130 of the Act requires that

this emission factor review, and revision

as needed, be performed at least every

three years. As noted above, the current

official version of the model,

MOBILE5a, was released in March 1993.

Since that time, one interim update to

the model has been developed,

MOBILE5alH, released in November

1995. While not involving revision and

update to the entire model, this version

and developed to address specific needs

on the part of emission factor users.

MOBILE5alH incorporated a number

of changes intended to improve the

ability of modelers, particularly States

and local/regional governments, in

estimating the benefits of various

innovative inspection and maintenance

(I/M) programs and to improve the

accuracy of modeling situations in

which such programs change over time

or different programs are applied to

different subsets of the covered fleet.

The time elapsed since the last

complete revision to the model and the

additional test data and analyses

available since that time warrant

another thorough update and revision to

the model. OMS plans significant

changes not only to the underlying

emission factor estimates, but to how

emissions factors are modeled to

account for things such as a separation

of start and running exhaust emissions,

roadway facility type, average traffic

speeds, and a number of other important

changes that will affect the input

information required to use the model

as well as the type of information

produced by the model. Thus, this first

MOBILE6 workshop will present an

overview of the more important model

revisions being planned. The tentative

agenda for this workshop is discussed

below. Other aspects of the modeling of

highway vehicle emission that are not

specifically included within the

following discussion may also be briefly

addressed in this workshop; however,

the agenda discussed below is intended

to illustrate the major areas of

discussion for the workshop.

The workshop being announced by

today’s notice will span two days. In an

effort to facilitate travel plans on the

part of attendees, a preliminary agenda

for the two days is presented below.

Note that the first day (March 19) is

largely devoted to ‘‘technical’’ issues

involved in updating and revising the

model, while the second part-day
