of the biological and mineral resources
of the Bristol Bay watershed, to increase

of large-scale mining on the region’s fish

resources, and to inform future
governmental decisions.
A previous draft was released for
public comment on May 18, 2012 (77 FR
31353, May 25, 2012). Peer review panel
members were announced June 5, 2012
(77 FR 33213, June 5, 2012), and the
external peer review meeting was
announced July 6, 2012 (77 FR 40037,
July 6, 2012). The external peer review
meeting was held in Anchorage, Alaska,
August 7–9, 2012. This revised draft
was completed by the agency to address
public and peer review comments
provided on the May 2012 draft.
EPA released this revised draft
assessment for the purposes of public
comment. This draft assessment is not
final as described in EPA’s information
quality guidelines, and it does not
represent and should not be construed
to represent Agency policy or views.
EPA is seeking comments from the
public on all aspects of the report,
including the scientific and technical
information presented in the report, the
realistic mining scenario used, the data
and information used to inform
assumptions about mining activities and
the evaluations of risk to the fishery,
and the potential mitigation measures
considered (and effectiveness of those
measures). EPA is also specifically
seeking any additional data or scientific
or technical information about Bristol
Bay resources or large-scale mining that
should be considered in our evaluation.
EPA will consider any public comments
submitted in accordance with this
notice when revising the document.
II. Extension of Comment Period
EPA is extending the deadline for
submitting comments on the revised
draft document titled, ‘‘An Assessment
of Potential Mining Impacts on Salmon
Ecosystems of Bristol Bay, Alaska’’ to
June 30, 2013. An additional 30 days
allows the public an opportunity to
provide feedback on changes made to
the assessment as a result of extensive
input received in 2012. This extension
is reasonable given the complexity and
length of the revised draft assessment.

of this finding, the Community Planning
Association of Southwest Idaho, the
Idaho Transportation Department and
the U.S. Department of Transportation
will be required to use these MVEBs for
future transportation conformity
determinations.
DATES: This finding is effective June 21,

finding will be available at the EPA’s

vaupel.claudia@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
action provides notice of the EPA’s
adequacy finding regarding the MVEBs
in the Maintenance Plan Update in
Northern Ada County. The EPA’s
finding was made pursuant to the
adequacy review process for
implementation plan submissions
delineated at 40 CFR 93.118(f)(1) under
which the EPA reviews the adequacy of
an implementation plan submission
prior to the EPA’s final action on the
implementation plan.
The IDEQ submitted the Maintenance
Plan Update to the EPA on March 11,
2013, with a clarification to the MVEBs
submitted on April 16, 2013. Pursuant
to 40 CFR 93.118 (f)(1), the EPA notified
the public of its receipt of this plan that
would be reviewed for an adequacy
determination on the EPA’s Web site
and requested public comment by no
later than May 15, 2013. The EPA
received no comments on the plan
during that comment period. As part of
our review, we also reviewed comments
submitted to the IDEQ during the State’s
public hearing process and the State’s
response to those comments. One
comment related to the MVEBs was
submitted during the State’s public
hearing process. The commenter
requested an explanation of the
differences in the State’s current and
previous PM10 emission budgets, and a
justification for the State’s reliance on
an emission factor that differed from the
factor previously relied-upon in the
State’s emission budget. The EPA finds
that the State addressed the discrepancy
identified by the commenter and
adequately explained the derivation of
the State’s current PM10 emission
budget.
The EPA Region 10 sent a letter to the
IDEQ on May 17, 2013 (adequacy letter),

letter and its enclosure is available at
the EPA’s conformity Web site: https://

Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
The EPA’s conformity rule requires
transportation plans, programs, and
projects to conform to state
implementation plans (SIPs) 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 national
ambient air quality standards.
The minimum criteria by which we
determine whether a SIP’s MVEBs are
adequate for conformity purposes are
specified at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The
EPA’s analysis of how the State’s
submission satisfies these criteria is
found in the adequacy letter. The EPA’s
MVEB adequacy review is separate from
the EPA’s SIP completeness review and
it also should not be used to prejudge
the EPA’s ultimate approval of the SIP.
Even if we find the budget adequate, the
SIP could later be disapproved.

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public
Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public
Reading Room is 202-566-1744. Deliveries are only accepted during the
docket's normal hours of operation, and special arrangements should be
made for deliveries of boxed information. If you provide comments by
hand delivery, please submit one unbound original with pages numbered
consecutively, and three copies of the comments. For attachments,
provide an index, number pages consecutively with the comments, and
submit an unbound original and three copies.
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-
2013-0189. Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the
specified comment period. Comments received after the closing date will
be marked ``late,'' and may only be considered if time permits. It is
EPA's policy to include all comments it receives in the public docket
without change and to make the comments available on-line at
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless a comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or email. The
www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which
means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email comment
directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
[[Page 34095]]
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comments due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comments.
Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters and any
form of encryption and be free of any defects or viruses. For
additional information about EPA's public docket, visit the EPA Docket
Center homepage at www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
Docket: Documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically at www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI Docket
in the EPA Headquarters Docket Center.
