2009 VOC and NOX Motor Vehicle
Emissions Budgets for Transportation
Conformity Purposes; New Hampshire;

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public
that EPA has found that the 2009 motor
vehicle emissions budgets in the May
28, 2008 New Hampshire State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. The submittal includes
MOBILE 6.2 motor vehicle emission
budgets for 2009 for the BostonManchester-Portsmouth (Southeast),
New Hampshire; 8-hour ozone area. As
a result of our finding, the State of New
Hampshire must use these motor
vehicle emission budgets for future
conformity determinations for the
Boston-Manchester-Portsmouth
(Southeast), New Hampshire; 8-hour
ozone area.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA New England sent a
letter to the New Hampshire Department
of Environmental Services on July 9,
2008, stating that the 2009 MOBILE6.2
motor vehicle emissions budgets
(MVEBs) in the May 28, 2008 SIP are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. This submittal will also be
announced on EPA’s conformity Web
site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm,
(once there, click on ‘‘What SIP
submissions has EPA already found
adequacy or inadequate?’’). The
adequate 2009 MVEBs are provided in
the following table:

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

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.
