Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee Spray Drift Work Group; Notice of Public Meeting, 13387 [E6-3726]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 15, 2006 / Notices budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). One of these criteria is that the motor vehicle emissions budgets, when considered together with all other emission sources, are consistent with applicable requirements for reasonable further progress, attainment, or maintenance (whichever is relevant to the given implementation plan submission). We have preliminarily determined that the Truckee Meadows Carbon Monoxide Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan does provide for maintenance of the CO standard. Therefore, the motor vehicle emissions budgets can be found adequate. 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 action on the submitted plan itself. Even if we find a budget adequate, the submitted plan could later be disapproved. We have 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’’). This guidance is now reflected in the amended transportation conformity rule, July 1, 2004 (69 FR 40004), and in the correction notice, July 20, 2004 (69 FR 43325). We followed this process in making our adequacy determination on the emissions budgets contained in the Truckee Meadows Carbon Monoxide Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q. Dated: February 21, 2006. Jane Diamond, Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX. [FR Doc.
