Records Governing Off-the-Record
Communications Public Notice
November 14, 2005.
This constitutes notice, in accordance
with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt
of prohibited and exempt off-the-record
communications.
Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,
September 22, 1999) requires
Commission decisional employees, who
make or receive a prohibited or exempt
off-the-record communication relevant
to the merits of a contested proceeding,
to deliver to the Secretary, a copy of the
communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are
included in a public, non-decisional file
associated with, but not a part of, the
decisional record of the proceeding.
Unless the Commission determines that
the prohibited communication and any
responses thereto should become a part
of the decisional record, the prohibited
off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in
reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to
respond to any facts or contentions
made in a prohibited off-the-record
communication, and may request that
the Commission place the prohibited
communication and responses thereto
in the decisional record. The
Commission will grant such a request
only when it determines that fairness so
requires. Any person identified below as
having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the
document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable
proceeding in accordance with Rule
2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
Exempt off-the-record
communications are included in the
decisional record of the proceeding,
unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40
CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently
received in the Office of the Secretary.
The communications listed are grouped
by docket numbers in ascending order.
These filings are available for review at

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
Background
[IN 165–1; FRL–7999–6]
Adequacy Status of Vigo County, IN, 8Hour Ozone Redesignation and
Maintenance Plan for Transportation
Conformity Purposes
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that EPA has found
that the motor vehicle emissions
budgets in the Vigo County, Indiana 8hour ozone redesignation request and
maintenance plan are adequate for
conformity purposes. On March 2, 1999,
the DC Circuit Court ruled that
submitted State Implementation Plans
(SIPs) cannot be used for conformity
determinations until EPA has
affirmatively found them adequate. As a
result of our finding, Vigo County can
use the motor vehicle emissions budgets
from the submitted 8-hour ozone
redesignation request and maintenance
plan for future conformity
determinations. These budgets are
effective December 7, 2005. The finding
and the response to comments will be
available at 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’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
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 October
25, 2005, stating that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets for the year 2015,
submitted in the Vigo 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
memo titled ‘‘Conformity Guidance on
Implementation of March 2, 1999
Conformity Court Decision’’). We
followed this guidance in making our
adequacy determination.
Dated: November 10, 2005.
