letter to Maine Department of
Environmental Protection on September
8, 2006, stating that the 2016
MOBILE6.2 motor vehicle emissions
budgets in the August 3, 2006 State
Implementation Plans (SIPs) are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. This finding will also be
announced on EPA’s conformity Web

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that EPA has found
that the 2016 motor vehicle emissions
budgets in the August 3, 2006 Maine
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision are adequate for transportation
conformity purposes. The submittal
included MOBILE6.2 motor vehicle
emissions budgets for 2016 for the
Portland Maine 8-Hour Ozone Area, and
the Hancock, Knox, Lincoln and Waldo
Counties (Midcoast) Maine 8-Hour
Ozone Area. On March 2, 1999, the DC
Circuit Court ruled that budgets in
submitted SIPs cannot be used for
conformity determinations until EPA
has affirmatively found them adequate.
As a result of our finding, the Portland
Maine 8-hour ozone area and the
Midcoast Maine 8-hour ozone area can
use the MOBILE6.2 motor vehicle
emissions budgets from the submitted
plan for future conformity
determinations.
DATES: These motor vehicle emissions
budgets are effective October 5, 2006.

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 have described our process for
determining the adequacy of submitted
SIP budgets in a May 14, 1999
memorandum entitled ‘‘Conformity
Guidance on Implementation of March
2, 1999 Conformity Court Decision.’’
