should be addressed in the 

Commission’s environmental 

assessment. The technical conference 

will be recorded by a court reporter, and 

all statements (verbal and written) will

Scoping for the Surrender of the 

District’s Sullivan Creek Project 

Commission staff intends to prepare 

an environmental assessment (EA) 

covering both the relicensing of the 

Boundary Project and the surrender of 

the Sullivan Creek Project, pursuant to 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969, as amended. Scoping of the 

relicensing of the Boundary Project was 

completed in 2006. To support and 

assist our environmental review, we are 

conducting paper scoping of the 

Sullivan Creek surrender to ensure that 

all pertinent issues are identified and 

analyzed, and the EA is thorough. This 

notice solicits written comments from 

Federal, State, and local resource 

agencies, Indian tribes, and other 

interested persons through the scoping 

process. 

All scoping comments should be 

submitted in writing to the Commission 

no later than June 25, 2010. All 

correspondence must clearly show at 

the top of the page: ‘‘Sullivan Creek 

Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 2225– 

013.’’ Send your comments about the 

project to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. Scoping comments may be filed 

electronically via the Internet in lieu of 

paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings.

[EPA–R09–OAR–2010–0208; FRL–9152–5] 

Adequacy Determination for the Motor 

Vehicle Emissions Budgets in the 

Truckee Meadows PM10 Maintenance 

Plan for Transportation Conformity 

Purposes; State of Nevada 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that the Agency has 

found that motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEBs) for particles with an 

aerodynamic diameter of a nominal 10 

microns or less (PM10), contained in the 

Redesignation Request and 

Maintenance Plan for the Truckee 

Meadows 24-Hour PM10 NonAttainment Area (‘‘Truckee Meadows 

PM10 Maintenance Plan’’), are adequate 

for transportation conformity purposes. 

The Truckee Meadows PM10

Maintenance Plan was submitted to EPA 

on July 13, 2009 by the Nevada Division 

of Environmental Protection as a 

revision to the Nevada State 

Implementation Plan. As a result of our 

adequacy finding, the Washoe County 

Regional Transportation Commission 

and the U.S. Department of 

Transportation must use these budgets 

in future conformity analyses. 

DATES: This finding is effective June 2, 

2010.
