Adequacy Status of the Massachusetts 

8-Hour Ozone Motor Vehicle Emissions 

Budgets for Transportation Conformity 

Purposes; Massachusetts 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public 

that EPA has found that the 2008 and 

2009 motor vehicle emissions budgets 

in the January 31, 2008 Massachusetts 8- 

hour ozone State Implementation Plan 

revision are adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes. The submittal 

includes 2008 and 2009 motor vehicle 

emission budgets for the BostonLawrence-Worcester (Eastern 

Massachusetts) and Springfield 

(Western Massachusetts) 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment areas. As a result of our 

finding, Massachusetts must use these 

motor vehicle emission budgets for 

future conformity determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective April 2, 

2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

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

EPA. 

Today’s action is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. EPA New England sent a 

letter to the Massachusetts Department 

of Environmental Protection on March 

7, 2008, stating that the 2008 and 2009 

motor vehicle emissions budgets 

(MVEBs) in the Boston-LawrenceWorcester (Eastern Massachusetts) and 

Springfield (Western Massachusetts) 8- 

hour ozone nonattainment areas are 

adequate. Massachusetts submitted the 

budgets on January 31, 2008, as part of 

the 8-hour ozone attainment 

demonstration and reasonable further 

progress plan for Eastern and Western 

Massachusetts. This submittal was 

announced on EPA’s conformity 

website, and received no comments. 

(See http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

submissions are currently under EPA 

adequacy review?’’) 

The 2008 and 2009 MVEBs, in tons 

per summer day (tpsd), for volatile 

organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX) for Eastern and Western 

Massachusetts, are as follows:

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

EPA’s conformity rule requires that 

transportation plans, programs, and 

projects conform to state air quality 

implementation plans and establishes 

the criteria and procedures for 

determining whether or not they do. 

Conformity to a SIP means that 

transportation activities will not 

produce new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 18, 2008 / Notices 14467 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. 

The criteria by which we determine 

whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emissions 

budgets are adequate for conformity 

purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 

93.118(e)(4). We have described our 

process for determining the adequacy of 

submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 

2004, preamble starting at 69 FR 40038, 

and we used the information in these 

resources while making our adequacy 

determination. Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review, and it also should 

not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval of the SIP. Even if we find a 

budget adequate, the SIP could later be 

disapproved.
