turnover, which may affect future motor
vehicle emissions inventories, lead to
motor vehicle emissions estimates above
the Tier 1 MVEBs. The determination
will be made through the interagency
consultation process and fully
documented within the first conformity
analysis that uses the Tier 2 MVEBs.
Receipt of the submittal was announced
on EPA’s transportation conformity Web
site. No comments were received. The
findings letter is available at EPA’s
conformity Web site: https://

Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA). EPA’s conformity rule requires
that transportation plans, transportation
improvement programs, and projects
conform to 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 criteria by which we determine
whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for
conformity purposes are outlined in 40
CFR 93.118(e)(4). EPA described the
process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP budgets in a July 1, 2004
preamble starting at 69 FR 40038 and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

used the information in these resources
in making this adequacy determination.
The Commonwealth of Virginia did not
provide emission budgets for sulfur
dioxide (SO2), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), or ammonia for the
Washington Area’s Maintenance Plan
because it concluded that emissions of
these precursors from motor vehicles are
not significant contributors to the area’s
PM2.5 air quality problem. The
transportation conformity rule provision
at 40 CFR 93.102(b)(2)(v) indicates that
conformity does not apply for these
precursors, due to the lack of motor
vehicle emissions budgets for these
precursors and state’s conclusion that
motor vehicle emissions of SO2, VOCs,
and ammonia do not contribute
significantly to the area’s PM2.5
nonattainment problem. This provision
of the transportation conformity rule
predates and was not disturbed by the
January 4, 2013 decision in the litigation
on the PM2.5 implementation rule. EPA
has preliminarily concluded that the
Commonwealth’s decision to not
include budgets for SO2, VOCs, and
ammonia is consistent with the
requirements of the transportation
conformity rule. That decision does not
affect EPA’s adequacy finding for the
submitted direct PM and NOx MVEBs
for the Washington Area’s Maintenance
Plan.
Please note that an adequacy review
is separate from EPA’s completeness
review, and should not be used to
prejudge EPA’s ultimate approval action
for the SIP. Even if EPA finds the
budgets for the Washington Area’s
Maintenance Plan adequate, the SIP
could later be disapproved. The finding
and the response to comments are
available at EPA’s conformity Web site:

AGENCY:
As part of an effort to
streamline the process to seek feedback
from the public on service delivery, the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) has submitted a Generic
Information Collection Request to OMB
for review and approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The FCC invites
the general public and other Federal

comment on the following information
collection. Comments are requested
concerning: whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Commission, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
Commission’s burden estimate; ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and ways
to minimize the burden of the collection
of information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. The FCC may
not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a valid OMB control
number.
SUMMARY:
Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before May 28, 2014. If
you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
