EPA’s finding, the State of Maryland
must use the MVEBs from the June 4,
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/

AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
that the Motor Vehicle Emissions
Budgets (MVEBs) in the Reasonable
Further Progress Plan (RFP) submitted
as a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision on June 4, 2007 by the
Maryland Department of the
Environment, (MDE) are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. As
a result of EPA’s finding, the State of
Maryland must use the MVEBs from the
June 4, 2007 RFP Plan for future
conformity determinations for the 8hour ozone standard.
DATES: These MVEBs are effective April
13, 2009.

1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA
19103 at (215) 814–3335 or by e-mail at:
kotsch.martin@EPA.gov. The finding is
available at EPA’s conformity Web site:
https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. The word
‘‘budgets’’ refers to the motor vehicle
emission budgets for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides
(NOx). The word ‘‘SIP’’ in this
document refers to the RFP Plans for the
Baltimore 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment
Area submitted to EPA as SIP revisions
on June 4, 2007.
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that EPA has
already made. EPA Region III sent a
letter to MDE on January 15, 2009
stating that the MVEBs in the RFP Plan
are adequate for transportation
conformity purposes. As a result of

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 andprocedure 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.
