MVEBs are provided in Table 1 below:

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
* This includes a safety margin of 10.39 tpy
for PM2.5 and 2,613.27 tpy for NOX in 2028.
Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
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
so. 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 MVEBs are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes are
outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We
have also described the process for
determining the adequacy of submitted
SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004 (69 FR
40004), final rulemaking entitled,
‘‘Transportation Conformity Rule
Amendments for the New 8-Hour Ozone
and PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality
Standards and Miscellaneous Revisions
for Existing Areas; Transportation
Conformity Rule Amendments:
Response to Court Decision and
Additional Rule Changes.’’ Please note
that an adequacy review is separate
from EPA’s completeness review, and it
should not be used to prejudge EPA’s
ultimate approval of Tennessee’s 1997
Annual PM2.5 SIP revision for the
Knoxville Area. Even if EPA finds a
budget adequate, the SIP revision could
later be disapproved.
Within 24 months from the effective
date of this notice or until such time
that the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS is revoked
for the Knoxville Area, the
transportation partners will need to
demonstrate conformity to the new
MVEBs, if the demonstration has not
already been made, pursuant to 40 CFR
93.104(e). See 73 FR 4419 (January 24,
2008).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
Once an authorized program has EPA’s
approval to accept electronic documents
under certain programs, CROMERR
§ 3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program
keep EPA apprised of any changes to
laws, policies, or the electronic
document receiving systems that have
the potential to affect the program’s
compliance with CROMERR § 3.2000.
On June 30, 2016, the Mecklenburg
County Land Use & Environmental
Services Agency (LUESA) submitted an
application titled ‘‘GovOnline System’’
for revisions/modifications to its EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR
to allow new electronic reporting. EPA
reviewed LUESA’s request to revise/
modify its EPA-authorized programs
and, based on this review, EPA
determined that the application met the
standards for approval of authorized
program revisions/modifications set out
