(other than California) must use MOVES

As stated above, MOBILE6.2 was the

model that was available when the
original SIP was submitted.

Taking into consideration the portion
of the safety margin applied to the
MVEB, the resulting difference between
the attainment level of emissions from
all sources and the projected level of
emissions from all sources in the
maintenance area, the area still attains
the NAAQS and meets the maintenance
requirements. The new safety margins,
are listed below in Table 6.
IV. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing to approve
Tennessee’s October 12, 2012, SIP
revision concerning the Knox County 1hour ozone maintenance plan and
increasing the safety margin allocated to
MVEB to account for changes in the
emissions model and VMT projection
model. This action, if finalized, would
result in higher NOX and VOC MVEB for
transportation conformity purposes for
Knox County, and would still be
consistent with attainment for the 1hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is proposing
this action because it is consistent with
the CAA and the transportation
conformity requirements at 40 CFR 93.
V. Statutory and Executive order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable federal regulations.

• Does not have Federalism

• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR

• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this proposed rule does
not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the State, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
