Adequacy Status of the Knoxville, 

Tennessee 1997 PM2.5 Attainment 

Demonstration Motor Vehicle 

Emissions Budgets for Transportation 

Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that EPA has found 

that the direct particulate matter (PM2.5) 

and Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) motor 

vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) in 

the Knoxville, Tennessee Attainment 

Demonstration Plan for the 1997 PM2.5

standard, submitted April 4, 2008, by 

the Tennessee Department of 

Environment and Conservation (TDEC), 

are adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes. On March 2, 1999, 

the United States Court of Appeals for 

the District of Columbia Circuit (DC 

Circuit) ruled that submitted State 

Implementation Plans (SIPs) cannot be 

used for transportation conformity 

determinations until EPA has 

affirmatively found them adequate. As a 

result of EPA’s finding, the Knoxville, 

Tennessee area, including the portion of 

Roane County, must use the MVEBs for 

future conformity determinations for the 

1997 PM2.5 standard. 

DATES: The adequacy finding for the 

PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs are effective 

April 22, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kelly Sheckler, Environmental Scientist, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region 4, Air Planning Branch, Air 

Quality Modeling and Transportation 

Section, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, 

Georgia 30303. Ms. Sheckler can also be 

reached by telephone at (404) 562–9222, 

or via electronic mail at 

sheckler.kelly@epa.gov. The finding is 

available at EPA’s conformity Web site: 

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

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is simply an announcement of 

findings that EPA has already made. 

EPA Region 4 sent a letter to TDEC on 

February 11, 2010, stating that the PM2.5

and NOX MVEBs in the 1997 PM2.5

attainment demonstration for Knoxville, 

Tennessee, submitted April 4, 2008, are 

adequate and must be used for 

transportation conformity 

determinations in the Knoxville area. 

EPA posted the availability of the 

Knoxville MVEBs on EPA’s Web site on 

April 14, 2008, as part of the adequacy 

process, for the purpose of soliciting 

comments. The comment period ran 

from April 14, 2008, through May 14, 

2008. During EPA’s adequacy comment 

period, no comments were received on 

the MVEBs for the area. Through this 

notice, EPA is informing the public that 

these MVEBs are adequate for 

transportation conformity. EPA’s 

findings have also been announced on 

EPA’s conformity Web site: http:// 

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/ 

transconf/adequacy.htm. The PM2.5 and 

NOx MVEBs are provided in the 

following table:

Transportation conformity is required 

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

as amended in 1990. 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

17710 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 7, 2010 / Notices 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. 

The criteria by which EPA determines 

whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in 40 Code of Federal 

Regulations 93.118(e)(4). 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 

attainment demonstration plan for the 

Knoxville, Tennessee area. Even if EPA 

finds the budget adequate, the 

attainment demonstration plan could 

later be disapproved. 

EPA has described the process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in a May 14, 1999, 

memorandum entitled ‘‘Conformity 

Guidance on Implementation of March 

2, 1999, Conformity Court Decision. 

EPA has followed this guidance in 

making this adequacy determination. 

This guidance is incorporated into 

EPA’s July 1, 2004, final rulemaking 

entitled ‘‘Transportation Conformity 

Rule Amendments for the New 8-hour 

Ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards and Miscellaneous 

Revisions for Existing Areas; 

Transportation Conformity Rule 

Amendments: Response to Court 

Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’ 

(69 FR 40004). 

Within 24 months from the effective 

date of this notice, the transportation 

partners will need to demonstrate 

conformity to the new MVEBs, if the 

demonstration has not already been 

made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e). 

See, 73 FR 4419 (January 24, 2008).
