Region 5] 

Adequacy Status of the Kenosha 

County, Wisconsin Area for Submitted 

8-Hour Ozone Attainment 

Demonstration for Transportation 

Conformity Purposes 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is notifying the public that we find that 

the motor vehicle emissions budgets 

(MVEBs) for volatile organic compounds 

(VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in 

the Kenosha County, Wisconsin ozone 

nonattainment area are adequate for use 

in transportation conformity 

determinations. Wisconsin submitted an 

Attainment Demonstration for Kenosha 

County on April 17, 2017. As a result of 

our finding, this area must use these 

MVEBs from the submitted Attainment 

Demonstration for future transportation 

conformity determinations. 

DATES: This finding is effective 

November 15, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, whenever 

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

EPA. 

Background 

Today’s notice is an announcement of 

a finding that we have already made. On 

September 6, 2017, EPA sent a letter to 

the Wisconsin Department of Natural 

Resources stating that the 2017 and 

2018 MVEBs contained in the 

Attainment Demonstration for Kenosha 

County in Wisconsin are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes. 

Receipt of these MVEBs was announced 

on EPA’s transportation conformity Web 

site, and no comments were submitted. 

The finding is available at EPA’s 

conformity Web site: https://

www.epa.gov/state-and-localtransportation/adequacy-review-stateimplementation-plan-sip-submissionsconformity. 

The 2017 and 2018 MVEBs, in tons 

per day (tpd), for VOCs and NOX for the 

Kenosha County, Wisconsin area are as 

follows: 

Kenosha 

County NOX (tpd) VOCs (tpd) 

2017 .......... 3.05 1.56 

2018 .......... 2.75 1.44 

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 

conform. Conformity to a State 

Implementation Plan (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 MVEBs are adequate for 

transportation 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.
