Notice of Proposed Administrative Settlement Pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 31182-31183 [E6-8481]

Download as PDF 31182 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 105 / Thursday, June 1, 2006 / Notices budgets in the submitted Missoula, Montana Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan are adequate. This finding has also been announced on our conformity Web site at https:// www.epa.gov/otaq/transp/conform/ adequacy.htm. Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. Our conformity rule requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to SIPs and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they demonstrate conformity. 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 our completeness review, and it also should not be used to prejudge our ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if we find a budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved, and vice versa. The process for determining the adequacy of a transportation conformity budget is described at 40 CFR 93.118(f). For the reader’s ease, we have excerpted the motor vehicle emission budget from the Missoula, Montana Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan and they are as follows: Year Emission budget (ton per day) 2005 .............................. 2010 .............................. 2021 .............................. 44.86 43.22 42.67 40 CFR 93.118(e)(1) requires that upon a finding of adequacy these budgets must be used in transportation conformity determinations unless the maintenance plan is later disapproved by EPA. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
