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: https://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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:14 Oct 19, 2005
Jkt 208001
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.
