Motor Vehicle Emissions Budget for
Transportation Conformity for the
Portion of York County, South Carolina
Within Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill,
North Carolina-South Carolina; 1997 8Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public of its finding that
the volatile organic compounds (VOC)
motor vehicle emissions budget (MVEB)
for the portion of York County, South
Carolina that is within the CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill, North CarolinaSouth Carolina Area (hereafter referred
to as the ‘‘Charlotte bi-state Area’’)
Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) plan
for the 1997 8-hour ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS), submitted on August 31,
2007, and supplemented on April 29,
2010, by the South Carolina Department
of Health and Environmental Control
(SC DHEC) are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. The
South Carolina portion of the Charlotte
bi-state Area is comprised of a portion
of York County, South Carolina. On
March 2, 1999, the District of Columbia
Circuit Court ruled that submitted state
implementation plans (SIPs) cannot be
used for transportation conformity
determinations until EPA has
affirmatively found them adequate. As a
result of EPA’s finding, the South
Carolina portion of the Charlotte bi-state
Area must use the VOC MVEB from the
submitted RFP plan supplement for the
Area for future conformity
determinations.
DATES: This adequacy finding for VOC
is effective June 21, 2012.

telephone at (404) 562–9222, or via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today’s
notice is simply an announcement of
findings that EPA has already made.
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM
06JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Notices
EPA Region 4 sent a letter to SC DHEC
on May 25, 2012, stating that the 2008
VOC MVEB in the 1997 8-hour ozone
RFP plan for the South Carolina portion
of the Charlotte bi-state Area, dated
August 31, 2007, and supplemented on
April 29, 2010, are adequate. EPA
posted the availability of the York
County MVEB on EPA’s Web site on
May 13, 2010, as part of the adequacy
process, for the purpose of soliciting
comments. The comment period ran
from May 13, 2010, through June 14,
2010. EPA’s findings have also been
announced on EPA’s conformity Web
site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/index.htm, (once there,
click ‘‘Transportation Conformity’’ text
icon, then look for ‘‘Adequacy Review
of SIP Submissions’’). The adequate
VOC MVEB is provided in the following
table:
(See 69 FR 40004). Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from the
EPA’s completeness review, and it also
should not be used to prejudge EPA’s
ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if
EPA finds the MVEB adequate, the
Agency may later disapprove the SIP.
Within 24 months from the effective
date of this notice, the transportation
partners will need to demonstrate
conformity to the new MVEB if the
demonstration has not already been
made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e). See
73 FR 4419 (January 24, 2008).

Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act,
as amended in 1990. EPA’s conformity
rule, 40 CFR part 93, 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 NAAQS.
The criteria by which EPA determines
whether a SIP’s MVEB are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes are
outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e) (4). EPA
has described the process for
determining the adequacy of submitted
SIP budgets in a May 14, 1999,
memorandum entitled ‘‘Conformity
Guidance on Implementation of March
2, 1999 Conformity Court Decision.’’
EPA has followed this guidance in
making this adequacy determination.
This guidance is incorporated into
EPA’s July 1, 2004, final rulemaking
entitled ‘‘Transportation Conformity
