Public Participation
You can make a difference by
providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project.
By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA
and considered by the Commission. You
should focus on the potential
environmental effects of the proposal,
alternatives to the proposal, and
measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impact. The more
specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. Please carefully follow
these instructions to ensure that your
comments are received in time and
properly recorded:
• Send an original and two copies of
your letter to: Philis Posey, Acting
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room
1A, Washington, DC 20426.
• Label one copy of the comments for
the attention of Gas Branch 3.
• Reference Docket No. CP07–90–
000.
• Mail your comments so that they
will be received in Washington, DC on
or before April 30, 2007.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filing of any comments or
interventions or protests to this
proceeding. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link and the link to the User’s
Guide. Before you can file comments
you will need to create a free account
which can be created on-line.
We may mail the EA for comment. If
you are interested in receiving it, please
return the Information Request
(Appendix 3). If you do not return the
Information Request, you will be taken
off the mailing list.
Becoming an Intervenor
In addition to involvement in the EA
scoping process, you may want to
become an official party to the
proceeding, or ‘‘intervenor’’. To become
an intervenor you must file a motion to
intervene according to Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Intervenors
have the right to seek rehearing of the
Commission’s decision. Motions to
Intervene should be electronically

Jkt 211001
Intervene on or before the comment
deadline indicated above must send a
copy of the motion to the Applicant. All
filings, including late interventions,
submitted after the comment deadline
must be served on the Applicant and all
other intervenors identified on the
Commission’s service list for this
proceeding. Persons on the service list
with e-mail addresses may be served
electronically; others must be served a
hard copy of the filing.
Affected landowners and parties with
environmental concerns may be granted
intervenor status upon showing good
cause by stating that they have a clear
and direct interest in this proceeding
which would not be adequately
represented by any other parties. You do
not need intervenor status to have your
environmental comments considered.
Environmental Mailing List
An effort is being made to send this
notice to all individuals, organizations,
and government entities interested in
and/or potentially affected by the
proposed project. This includes all
landowners who are potential right-ofway grantors, whose property may be
used temporarily for project purposes,
or who own homes within distances
defined in the Commission’s regulations
of certain above-ground facilities. By
this notice we are also asking
governmental agencies, especially those
in Appendix 2, to express their interest
in becoming cooperating agencies for
the preparation of the EA.

disapproved.
The finding and the response to
comments are available at EPA’s
conformity Web site: https://

Background
Today’s action is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region 5 sent a letter
to the Ohio Environmental Protection
Agency on February 9, 2007, stating that
the 2005 and 2018 MVEBs in the
Dayton-Springfield area are adequate.
Ohio submitted the budgets as part of
the 8-hour ozone redesignation request
and maintenance plan for this area. This
submittal was announced on EPA’s
conformity Web site, and received no
comments: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/

(once there, click on ‘‘What SIP
submissions are currently under EPA
adequacy review?’’).
The 2005 and 2018 MVEBs, in tons
per day (tpd), for volatile organic
compounds (VOC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) for Dayton-Springfield
are as follows:

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
that the motor vehicle emissions
budgets (MVEBs) for 8-hour ozone in
Dayton-Springfield (Clark, Greene,
Miami, and Montgomery Counties),
Ohio-which were submitted as part of a
redesignation request and maintenance
plan for this area-are adequate for
conformity purposes. As a result of our
finding, Dayton-Springfield must use
the MVEBs from the submitted 8-hour
ozone redesignation and maintenance
plan for future conformity
determinations.

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 State Implementation
Plan (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). We have described our
process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP budgets in our July 1,
2004, preamble starting at 69 FR 40038,
and we used the information in these
resources while making our adequacy
determination. 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
