40 CFR Part 52

[Docket No. EPA-R02-OAR-2018-0197; FRL-9981-63--Region 2]

Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the New 
York Portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT, 
2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notification of adequacy; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the table posted in the 
June 8, 2018, notification of adequacy of the motor vehicle emission 
budgets (MVEB) for the New York portions of the New York-Northern New 
Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. The MVEBs 
were submitted by New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation as part of the SIP revision for the area's 2008 8-hour 
ozone nonattainment area. The MVEB budget table in the original post 
listed incorrect units for the actual MVEBs. The Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), therefore, is correcting the table to show the 
correct units.

DATES: This correction is effective on August 14, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hannah Greenberg, Environmental 
Protection Agency Region 2, Air Programs Branch, 290 Broadway, 25th 
Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866; (212) 637-3829, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a notification of adequacy on 
June 8, 2018, (83 FR 26597) which found that the 2017 MVEBs for 
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) 
submitted by the New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation for the 2008 NAAQS for ozone are adequate for 
transportation conformity purposes for the New York portions of the New 
York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT 8-hour ozone 
nonattainment area. In this document, EPA erroneously listed the 2017 
MVEB units as tons per year. The actual 2017 MVEB units are tons per 
day. Therefore, the table is being corrected to list the correct units.

Correction

    In the notification of adequacy published in the Federal Register 
on June 8, 2018 (83 FR 26597), on page 26598, in the second column, the 
table:

         Table 1--2017 Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for NYMTC
                             [Tons per year]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Year                           VOC           NOX
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017........................................        65.69        117.21

is corrected to read:

                             [Tons per day]
