(August 24, 2016). 

4Under CAA section 188(c)(2), a Serious PM2.5

nonattainment area must attain the PM2.5 NAAQS 

as expeditiously as practicable but no later than the 

end of the tenth calendar year after the area is 

designated as nonattainment. Because the South 

Coast area was designated as nonattainment for the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS effective December 14, 2009 (74 

FR 58688, November 13, 2009), the latest 

permissible attainment date for the area is 

December 31, 2019. 

5SCAG is the Metropolitan Planning 

Organization for the South Coast 2006 PM2.5

nonattainment area. 

Under the PM2.5 SIP Requirements Rule, 

Serious area PM2.5 attainment plans 

must define appropriate quantitative 

milestones and include projected RFP 

emission levels for direct PM2.5 and all 

PM2.5 plan precursors in each milestone 

year. For an area designated 

nonattainment for the 2006 PM2.5

NAAQS before January 15, 2015, the 

attainment plan must contain 

quantitative milestones to be achieved 

no later than 3 years after December 31, 

2014, and every 3 years thereafter until 

the milestone date that falls within 3 

years after the applicable attainment 

date (40 CFR 51.1013(a)(4)).3 As the 

EPA explained in the preamble to the 

PM2.5 SIP Requirements Rule, it is 

important to include a post-attainment 

year quantitative milestone to ensure 

that, if the area fails to attain by the 

attainment date, the EPA can continue 

to monitor the area’s progress toward 

attainment while the state develops a 

new attainment plan (see 81 FR 58010, 

58063–58064, August 24, 2016). 

Consistent with the requirements of 

40 CFR 51.1013(a)(4), the 2016 PM2.5

Plan identifies December 31, 2017, as 

the first quantitative milestone date (i.e., 

the date 3 years after December 31, 

2014). The second quantitative 

milestone date is December 31, 2020, 

and is also the last milestone date 

identified in the Plan because it falls 

within 3 years after the December 31, 

2019 attainment date for the area.4

Although this post-attainment year 

quantitative milestone is a required 

element of the Serious area plan, it is 

not necessary to demonstrate 

transportation conformity for 2020 in 

the submitted SIP or to use the 2020 

budgets in transportation conformity 

determinations until such time as the 

area fails to attain the 2006 PM2.5

NAAQS. Therefore, the EPA is not 

taking action at this time on the 

submitted MVEBs for 2020 in the 2016 

PM2.5 Plan. Additionally, the EPA has 

not yet started the adequacy process for 

the 2020 budgets. 

If the EPA were to either find 

adequate or approve the post-attainment 

milestone year MVEBs now, those 

budgets would have to be used in 

transportation conformity 

determinations that are made after the 

effective date of the adequacy finding or 

approval even if the South Coast area 

ultimately attains the PM2.5 NAAQS by 

the Serious area attainment date. This 

would mean that SCAG 5 would be 

required to demonstrate conformity for 

the post-attainment date milestone year 

and all later years addressed in the 

conformity determination (e.g., the last 

year of the metropolitan transportation 

plan) to the post-attainment date RFP 

budgets rather than the budgets 

associated with the attainment year for 

the area (i.e., the budgets for 2019). The 

EPA does not believe that it is necessary 

to demonstrate conformity using these 

post-attainment year budgets in areas 

that either the EPA anticipates will 

attain by the attainment date or in areas 

that attain by the attainment date. As 

discussed elsewhere in this notice, the 

EPA is announcing that it has found 

adequate the MVEBs for the first 

milestone year (2017) and the 

attainment year (2019) for the South 

Coast PM2.5 nonattainment area. 

If and when the EPA determines that 

the South Coast area has failed to attain 

the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS by the 

applicable attainment date, the EPA will 

begin the MVEB adequacy and approval 

processes for the post-attainment year 

(2020) budgets. If the EPA finds the 

2020 budgets adequate or approves 

them, those budgets will have to be used 

in subsequent transportation conformity 

determinations. The EPA believes that 

initiating the process to act on the 

submitted post-attainment year MVEBs 

following a determination that the area 

has failed to attain by the Serious area 

attainment date ensures that 

transportation activities will not cause 

or contribute to new violations, increase 

the frequency or severity of any existing 

violations, or delay timely attainment or 

any required interim emission 

reductions or milestones in the South 

Coast PM2.5 nonattainment area, 

consistent with the requirements of 

CAA section 176(c)(1)(B).

Background on the CPSTF: The 

CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal 

panel whose members are appointed by 

the CDC Director. CPSTF members 

represent a broad range of research, 

practice, and policy expertise in 

prevention, wellness, health promotion, 

and public health. The CPSTF was 

convened in 1996 by the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) to 

identify community preventive 

programs, services, and policies that 

increase healthy longevity, save lives 

and dollars, and improve Americans’ 

quality of life. CDC is mandated to 

provide ongoing administrative, 

research, and technical support for the 

operations of the CPSTF. During its 

meetings, the CPSTF considers the 

findings of systematic reviews on 

existing research and practice-based 

evidence and issues recommendations. 

CPSTF recommendations are not 

mandates for compliance or spending. 

Instead, they provide information about 

evidence-based options that decision 

makers and stakeholders can consider 

when they are determining what best 

meet the specific needs, preferences, 

available resources, and constraints of 

their jurisdictions and constituents. The 

CPSTF’s recommendations, along with 

the systematic reviews of the evidence 

on which they are based, are compiled 

in the Guide to Community Preventive 

Services (The Community Guide). 

Matters proposed for discussion: 

Cancer Prevention and Control 

(Economics of Multicomponent 

Interventions to Improve Cancer 

Screening for Breast, Colorectal, and 

Cervical Cancer); Health Equity 

(proposal for housing interventions as a 

new topic area); Obesity Prevention and 

Control (Combined School-Based 

Interventions to Increase Healthier Food 

and Beverage Consumption and 

Physical Activity); Women’s Health 

(Primary Prevention of Intimate Partner 

Violence and Sexual Violence Among 

Youth); and discussion of Community 

Guide economic methods. The agenda is 

subject to change without notice.
