and the response to comments will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

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

EPA. 

Background: Today’s notice is simply 

an announcement of a finding that we 

have already made. EPA Region 5 sent 

a letter to the Indiana Department of 

Environmental Management on 

September 29, 2005, stating that the 

motor vehicle emissions budgets for the 

year 2015, submitted in the Greene 

County, Indiana 8-hour ozone 

redesignation request and maintenance 

plan, are adequate. This finding has 

been announced on EPA’s conformity 

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

transp.htm, (once there, click on the 

‘‘Conformity’’ button, then look for 

‘‘Adequacy Review of SIP Submissions 

for Conformity’’). 

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 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. 

The criteria by which we determine 

whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emission 

budgets are adequate for conformity 

purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 

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 SIP. Even if we find a 

budget adequate, the SIP could later be 

disapproved. 

We’ve described our process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in guidance (May 14, 1999 

memo titled ‘‘Conformity Guidance on 

Implementation of March 2, 1999 

Conformity Court Decision’’). We 

followed this guidance in making our 

adequacy determination. 

Dated: October 11, 2005.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
