Conformity Purposes; Connecticut
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public
that EPA has found that the 2008, 2009
and 2012 motor vehicle emissions
budgets in the February 1, 2008
Connecticut 8-hour ozone State
Implementation Plan revision are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. The submittal includes 2008,
2009 and 2012 motor vehicle emission
budgets for the Connecticut portion of
the New York-Northern New JerseyLong Island, NY-NJ-CT (Southwest
Connecticut) and the Greater
Connecticut 8-hour ozone
nonattainment areas. As a result of our
finding, Connecticut must use these
motor vehicle emission budgets for
future conformity determinations.
DATES: This finding is effective June 27,
2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
Today’s action is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA New England sent a
letter to the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection on June 2,
2008, stating that the 2008, 2009 and
2012 motor vehicle emissions budgets
(MVEBs) in the Connecticut portion of
the New York-Northern New JerseyLong Island, NY-NJ-CT (Southwest
Connecticut) and the Greater
Connecticut 8-hour ozone
nonattainment areas are adequate.
Connecticut submitted the budgets on
February 1, 2008, as part of the 8-hour
ozone attainment demonstration and
reasonable further progress plan for
Southwest and Greater Connecticut.
This submittal was announced on EPA’s
conformity Web site, and received no
comments. (See https://www.epa.gov/
otaq/stateresources/transconf/
adequacy.htm. Once there, click on
‘‘What SIP submissions are currently
under EPA adequacy review?’’)
The 2008, 2009, and 2012 MVEBs, in
tons per summer day (tpsd), for volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) for Southwest and
Greater Connecticut, are as follows:

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 emissions
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.

Background
Today’s notice is simply an

these MVEBs was announced on EPA’s
transportation conformity Web site, and
no comments were submitted. The
finding is available at EPA’s conformity
Web site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
