Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS 78952 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Proposed Rules photochemical grid modeling that the State conducted in 2008. (Photochemical grid modeling is used to project future 8-hour ozone Design Values for comparison to the 85.0 ppb ozone NAAQS.) On July 21, 2010, we proposed to act on the State’s revisions and as part of that action, proposed to approve Colorado’s attainment demonstration and certain other aspects of the revisions, and proposed to disapprove other aspects of the revisions. For further information on Colorado’s submittal and our proposed action, please consult the Federal Register (July 21, 2010; 75 FR 42346). On October 7, 2010, Colorado submitted revised photochemical modeling results to us for the DMA/NFR ozone SIP. Colorado re-ran the photochemical model because in September 2010 the State discovered that errors had been made in specifying the location of certain point sources in the 2008 modeling. Latitude/longitude locations for some point sources in the original modeling effort were mistakenly derived using the degreeminute-second coordinate system rather than the correct decimal degree coordinate system. As a result, some point source locations were displaced in the grid-coordinate system used by the model. Thus, Colorado re-ran the model with the correct coordinates to determine whether the errors made in locating some point sources affected the reliability of the model results. The projected Design Values for 2010 resulting from the revised modeling remain below the 85.0 ppb ozone NAAQS. For the SIP’s 2010 base case, the revised modeling’s maximum projected 8-hour ozone Design Values are found at the Rocky Flats North and Fort Collins West monitoring sites—84.7 ppb ozone at both locations in 2010. This is 0.2 ppb lower than the State’s 2008 modeling projected using incorrect point source locations. Because it produced slightly lower values at the monitoring sites with maximum Design Values, the revised modeling supports the conclusions that EPA proposed regarding the 2008 modeling. With this Notice of Data Availability, we are providing an opportunity for the public to comment on Colorado’s October 2010 revised modeling, including comments on how it may affect EPA’s proposed determinations as reflected in our July 21, 2010 proposal. We are not re-opening the comment period on the material that was before the Agency at the time of the July 21, 2010 proposal. Colorado’s October 2010 revised modeling is reflected in the following VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:28 Dec 16, 2010 Jkt 223001 two documents, which we have added to the rulemaking docket: 1.

MEMORANDUM, October 7, 2010: ENVIRON: Denver Final 2010 Ozone Attainment Demonstration Modeling using Correct Point Source Locations. Docket Number: EPA–R08–OAR–2010–0285–0043. We will take final action based on our notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the Federal Register on July 21, 2010 (75 FR 42346), the comments we received on that proposal, Colorado’s October 2010 revised modeling, and any comments we receive in response to this NODA.
