ACTION: Notice of adequacy determination. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3701 SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is informing the public that we have found the motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEB) for volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides in the Missouri portion of the St. Louis area adequate for conformity purposes. The State of Missouri established MVEBs for 2007. The emission estimates for 2007 were included in the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan based on projected emission inventories for that year. This Notice formalizes the 2007 emissions estimates as budgets for future conformity determinations, including the conformity determination that is required by June 15, 2005, under the 8hour ozone standard. DATES: This rule is effective February 10, 2005. ADDRESSES: The finding and the response to comments will be available at EPA’s conformity Web site: https:// www.epa.gov/otaq/transp/traqconf.htm (click on ‘‘Adequacy Web Pages’’). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may also contact Heather Hamilton, Environmental Protection Agency, 901 N. 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101, or by e-mail at hamilton.heather@epa.gov, telephone (913) 551–7039. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean EPA. 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 Implementation Plans (SIPs) and established 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 SIPs must establish MVEBs to ensure that conformity is achieved. The criteria by which we determine whether SIP motor vehicle emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We applied these criteria in finding that the submitted budgets are adequate. We sent a letter to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources on December 17, 2004, stating that the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the St. Louis area for 2007 were found to be adequate. These budgets were projected emissions in the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan for St. Louis, although EPA approved a MVEB for E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1
