SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ refers to EPA. The word ‘‘budget(s)’’ refers to the mobile source emissions budget for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the mobile source emissions budget for nitrogen oxides (NOX). On December 29, 2016, we received a SIP revision from the TCEQ. This revision consisted of an RFP SIP for the HGB 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS nonattainment area. This submission established MVEBs for the HGB 2008 ozone nonattainment area for the year 2017. The MVEB is the amount of emissions allowed in the SIP for on-road motor vehicles; it establishes an emissions ceiling for the HGB area regional transportation network, used to develop the 2017 on-road motor vehicle emissions projections contained in the RFP SIP. The MVEBs are provided in Table 1: DATES: TABLE 1—HOUSTON-GALVESTONBRAZORIA REASONABLE FURTHER PROGRESS NOX AND VOC MVEBS [Summer ozone season tons per day] Ozone Precursor 2017 MVEB AGENCY: NOX .......................................... VOC .......................................... The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is notifying the public that it has found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) in the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, Texas (HGB) Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for the 2008 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), submitted on December 29, 2016 by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result of EPA’s finding, the HGB area must use these budgets for future conformity determinations. On January 18, 2017, EPA posted the revised HGB area MVEBs on EPA’s Web site for the purpose of soliciting public comments, as part of the adequacy process. The comment period closed on February 17, 2017, and we received no comments. Today’s notice is simply an announcement of a finding that EPA has already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter to TCEQ on April 28, 2017, finding that the MVEBs in the HGB RFP SIP, submitted on December 29, 2016 are adequate and must be used for transportation conformity determinations in the HGB area. This finding has also been announced on EPA’s conformity Web site: https:// Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
