Granting Petitions To Add n-Propyl
Bromide to the List of Hazardous Air
Pollutants
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice, extension of comment
period.
AGENCY:
On January 9, 2017, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
published a draft notice of the rationale
for granting petitions to add n-propyl
bromide (nPB), also known as 1bromopropane (1-BP) (Chemical
Abstract Service No. 106–94–5), to the
list of hazardous air pollutants
contained in section 112(b)(1) of the
Clean Air Act. In this notice, the EPA is
extending the comment period on the
draft notice until October 1, 2017. The
EPA received a timely request to extend
the comment period from March 10,
2017, to October 1, 2017, in order to
allow for the review of data and
information that would otherwise
become available after the close of the
comment period. On March 6, 2017, as
an initial response, the EPA made an
interim extension of the comment
period by 90 days until June 8, 2017.
The EPA is now granting the request in
full and extending the comment period
until October 1, 2017.
DATES: The public comment period for
the draft notice published in the Federal
Register on January 9, 2017 (82 FR
2354), is being extended. Written
comments must be received on or before
October 1, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA
is granting the request for extension of

this draft notice. The EPA has decided
to extend the public comment period
until October 1, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
essential information in this notice will
be available at EPA’s conformity Web

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:

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.
