On May 15, 2006, the EPA received a petition from David Bender of Garvey McNeil & McGillivray, S.C., on behalf of the Sierra Club, that EPA object to the Title V operating permit for the Louisiana Pacific Tomahawk facility. The petition raised issues regarding: (1) The sufficiency of monitoring for visible and particulate matter emissions; (2) the alleged failure to include federally enforceable applicable State Implementation Plan limits; (3) language that allegedly violates the credible evidence rule; and (4) conditions that allegedly are not practically enforceable. On November 5, 2007, the Administrator issued an order granting in part and denying in part the petition. The order explains the reasons behind EPA’s conclusion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we'', 
``us'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

Background

    Today's action is simply an announcement of a finding that we have 
already made. EPA Region 5 sent a letter to the Wisconsin Department of 
Natural Resources on November 6, 2007, stating that the 2012 and 2018 
MVEBs in Kewaunee County are adequate. Wisconsin 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 
website, and received no comments: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm, (once there, click on ``What SIP 
submissions are currently under EPA adequacy review?'').
    The 2012 and 2018 MVEBs, in tons per day (tpd), for volatile 
organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) for 
Kewaunee County are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 2012 MVEB    2018 MVEB

------------------------------------------------------------------------
VOC...........................................         0.43         0.32
NOX...........................................         0.80         0.47
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved.
    The finding and the response to comments are available at EPA's 
conformity Web site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/
adequacy.htm.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
