As a result of EPA’s finding, the State of Delaware must use the MVEBs from the June 13, 2007 RFP Plan for future conformity determinations for the 8hour ozone standard. DATES: These MVEBs are effective January 5, 2009.

In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that we have found that the MVEBs in the RFP for 2008, submitted on June 13, 2007 by DNREC, are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result of EPA’s finding, the State of Delaware must use the MVEBs from the June 13, 2007 RFP Plan for future conformity determinations for the 8-hour ozone standard. This finding has also been announced on EPA’s conformity web site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/ stateresources/transconf/pastsips.htm.

Kent County ...... Sussex County VOC (tpd) 21.35 9.68 12.86 NOX (tpd) 10.61 4.14 7.09 Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990. 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 40 CFR 93.118(f), and have followed this rule in making our adequacy determination. Dated: December 5, 2008.
