The comment period closed on June 20, 2018 and EPA received no comments. This document is simply an announcement of a finding that we have already made. EPA Region III sent letters to the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), Maryland Department of the Environment (DOE), and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on July 24, 2018 finding that the 2014, 2025, and 2030 NOX and VOC MVEBs in the maintenance plan for the Washington Area submitted by the District, Maryland, and Virginia on March 12, 2018, January 29, 2018, and January 3, 2018, respectively, are adequate and must be used for transportation conformity determinations in the Washington Area.1 The finding and associated letters are available at EPA’s conformity website: https://www.epa.gov/state-andlocal-transportation. Transportation conformity is required by Clean Air Act (CAA) section 176(c). EPA’s conformity rule requires that transportation plans, transportation improvement programs, and projects conform to state air quality implementation plans (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 NAAQS. 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). We’ve described our 1 EPA originally informed the District, Maryland, and Virginia that the 2014, 2025, and 2030 MVEBs were adequate for use in transportation conformity analyses in letters dated July 18, 2018. EPA revised language in these letters and sent the revised letters to the District, Maryland, and Virginia on July 24, 2018. The original and revised letters are available online at https://www.regulations.gov as well as EPA’s conformity website: https://www.epa.gov/ state-and-local-transportation. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Aug 03, 2018 Jkt 244001 process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004 preamble starting at 69 FR 40038, and we used the information in these resources in making our adequacy determination. 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 we find a budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved. The finding for the 2014, 2025, and 2030 NOX and VOC MVEBs contained in the maintenance plan for the Washington Area and the response to comments are available at EPA’s conformity website: https:// www.epa.gov/state-and-localtransportation.
