Management stating that the 2002 and
2009 MVEBs for the Indianapolis,
Indiana area, which were submitted
with the state’s PM2.5 attainment
demonstration, are adequate. Receipt of
these MVEBs was announced on EPA’s
transportation conformity website with
a 30 day public comment period, 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 2002 and 2009 MVEBs,
in tons per year (tpy), for PM2.5 and NOX
for the Indianapolis, Indiana area are as
follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
PM2.5 (tpy)

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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever

EPA.
Background
In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
that the motor vehicle emissions
budgets (MVEBs) for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the Milwaukee-Racine
area, Door County, Manitowoc County,
and Sheboygan County, Wisconsin
ozone nonattainment areas are adequate
for use in transportation conformity
determinations. Wisconsin submitted a
redesignation request and maintenance
plan for the Milwaukee-Racine area,
Door County, Manitowoc County, and
Sheboygan County, Wisconsin on
September 11, 2009. As a result of our
finding, these Wisconsin areas must use
the MVEBs from the submitted ozone
SUMMARY:
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. On April 7, 2010, EPA
Region 5 sent a letter to the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources stating
that the 2012 and 2020 MVEBs for the
Milwaukee-Racine area, Door County,
Manitowoc County, and Sheboygan
County, Wisconsin 8-hour ozone areas
are adequate. Receipt of 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/stateresources/

The adequate 2012 and 2020 MVEBs,
in tons per day (tpd), for VOCs and NOx

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Mineral Wool Production
(40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD) were
proposed on May 8, 1997, and
promulgated on June 1, 1999. Owners/
operators of mineral wool production
plants are required to install fabric filter
bag leak detection systems and then
initiate corrective action procedures in
the event of an operating problem.
Owners/operators subject to NESHAP
subpart DDD must also continuously
monitor and record: (1) The operating
temperature of each thermal incinerator;
(2) cupola production (melt) rate; and
(3) for each curing oven, the
formaldehyde content of each binder
formulation used to manufacture
bonded products.
Owners/operators of affected mineral
wool production facility must submit
initial notifications (where applicable),
performance test and periodic reports.
Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Semiannual reports are also
required. These notifications, reports,

Background
Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have
already made. On April 7, 2010, EPA Region 5 sent a letter to the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources stating that the 2012 and

conformity Web site, 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 2012 and 2020 MVEBs, in tons per day (tpd), for VOCs
