Notice of adequacy
determination.
ACTION:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is notifying the public of
its finding that the motor vehicle
emissions budget (MVEB) for primary
particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter of a nominal 2.5 microns or
less (PM2.5) in the Oakridge-Westfir
PM2.5 state implementation plan (SIP or
attainment plan) are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. The
attainment plan was submitted to the
EPA by the State of Oregon Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ or the
State) on January 20, 2017. As a result
of this adequacy finding, the Oregon
DEQ, the Oregon Department of
Transportation, 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,
2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
finding will be available at the EPA’s
conformity Web site: https://

900, Seattle, WA 98101; (206) 553–1778;
or by email at pepple.karl@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
action provides notice of the EPA’s
adequacy finding regarding the MVEBs
located in the attainment plan for the
2006 PM2.5 national ambient air quality
standards for purposes of transportation
conformity. The EPA’s finding was
made pursuant to the adequacy review
process for state attainment plan
submissions delineated at 40 CFR
93.118(f)(1) under which the EPA
reviews the adequacy of an attainment
plan submission prior to the EPA’s final
action on the attainment plan.
Before the attainment plan was
submitted to the EPA, consultation
among federal, State, and local agencies
occurred. The State submitted the
attainment plan to the EPA on January
20, 2017. Pursuant to 40 CFR
93.118(f)(1), the EPA notified the public
of its receipt of this plan and its review
for an adequacy determination on the
EPA’s Web site and requested public
comment by no later than March 9,
2017. The EPA received no comments
on the plan during the comment period.
As part of our analysis, we also
reviewed the State’s compilation of
public comments and response to
comments that were submitted during

the State’s public process for the
attainment plan. The EPA finds that the
MVEBs in the attainment plan are
adequate for purposes of transportation
conformity. There were no comments
submitted on the attainment plan during
the State public process.
The EPA notified Oregon DEQ in a
letter dated April 24, 2017 (adequacy
letter), subsequent to the close of the
EPA comment period, that the EPA had
found the MVEBs located in the
attainment plan to be adequate for use
in transportation conformity. A copy of
the adequacy letter and its enclosure are
available in the docket for this action
and at the EPA’s conformity Web site.1
The MVEB that the EPA determined to
be adequate for purposes of
transportation conformity is listed in the
following table.

Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
Transportation conformity to an
attainment plan means that on-road
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 an attainment plan
is adequate for conformity purposes are
specified at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The
EPA’s analysis of how the attainment
plan satisfies these criteria is found in
the adequacy letter and its enclosure.
The EPA’s adequacy review is separate
from the EPA’s attainment plan
completeness review and it is not
dispositive of the EPA’s ultimate action
on the attainment plan.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–767Iq.
