Adequacy Status of the Cleveland/
Akron, Ohio and the Columbus, Ohio
Submitted 8-Hour Ozone
Redesignation and Maintenance Plans
for Transportation Conformity
Purposes
SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
that the motor vehicle emissions
budgets (MVEBs) for volatile organic
compounds (VOC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) in the Cleveland/Akron,
Ohio area and the Columbus, Ohio area
are adequate for use in transportation
conformity determinations. Ohio
submitted the Cleveland/Akron area
budgets with an 8-hour ozone
redesignation and maintenance plan on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
Background
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. On March 30, 2009, EPA
Region 5 sent a letter to the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency
stating that the 2010 and 2020 MVEBs
for the Cleveland/Akron area, and also
for the Columbus area, which were
submitted with the state’s 8-hour ozone
redesignation and maintenance plan, are
adequate. Receipt of these MVEBs was
announced on EPA’s transportation
conformity website, and no comments
were submitted. The finding is available
at EPA’s conformity Web site: https://
www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/
transconf/adequacy.htm.
The adequate 2010 and 2020 MVEBs,
in tons per day (tpd), for VOC and NOX
for the Cleveland/Akron area are as
follows:
2012 MVEB
(tpd)
2020 MVEB

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
VerDate Nov<24>2008
March 17, 2009. Ohio submitted the
Columbus area budgets with an 8-hour
ozone redesignation and maintenance
plan on March 17, 2009. As a result of
our finding, the Cleveland/Akron, Ohio
area and the Columbus, Ohio area must
use the MVEBs from the submitted 8hour ozone maintenance plan for future
transportation conformity
determinations.
The adequate 2010 and 2020 MVEBs,
in tons per day (tpd), for VOC and NOX
for the Columbus area are as follows:
2012 MVEB
(tpd)
2020 MVEB

Please note that the March 30, 2009,
letter to the state had the budgets in the
wrong columns and this has been
corrected in this notice.

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
conform. 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 transportation
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
transportation conformity web site:
https://www.epa.gov/otaq/

comments on the notice except for
comments pertaining to aldicarb.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this
notice a cancellation order granting the
requested amendments to terminate
certain pesticide product uses except for
the uses of aldicarb on coffee, pecans,
and tobacco. The product cancellation
order for the chloroneb product,
Demosan 65W (EPA Reg. No. 07378200002), which was included in the
October 8, 2008 notice will be included

with the terms of this order, including
any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective
May 20, 2009.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
On November 3, 2008, Bayer CropScience submitted a withdrawal of
its request to voluntarily cancel the
[[Page 23693]]
registration of TEMIK 15G for use on coffee, pecans and tobacco. EPA
received no comments pertaining to the other registrations in this
notice in response to the October 8, 2008, Federal Register notice
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellation and amendments to terminate certain uses.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate uses of registrations identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the product registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are hereby amended to terminate the
affected uses except for methamidophos products which will become
effective September 30, 2009. Any distribution, sale, or use of
existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a
manner inconsistent with any of the Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be considered a violation of
FIFRA.
V. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. The cancellation order issued in this notice
includes the following existing stocks provisions.
A. Methamidophos.
On April 7, 2002, EPA signed the Interim Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (IRED) for methamidophos. That IRED specified risk
mitigation measures including: ``Implement a 5-year phase out of the
use on cotton.''
In accordance with the IRED, Bayer CropScience has submitted a
request to voluntarily terminate all cotton uses of the methamidophos
products listed above in Table 2 effective September 30, 2009.
Provisions for the sale, disposition, and use of existing stocks of
methamidophos products include the following: All sale or distribution
by the registrant of existing stocks labeled for use on cotton is
prohibited after September 30, 2009, unless that sale or distribution
is solely for the purpose of facilitating disposal or export of the
product. Existing stocks labeled for use on cotton may be sold and
distributed by persons other than the registrant until July 31, 2010.
Existing stocks labeled for use on cotton may be used until September
30, 2010, provided that such use complies with the EPA-approved label
and labeling of the product.
B. Other Chemicals Addressed in this Order.
The cancellation order will allow persons other than the registrant
to continue to sell and/or use existing stocks of canceled products
until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent
with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the canceled product. This order specifically prohibits
any use of existing stocks that is not consistent with such previously
approved labeling.
