Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in Submitted 8-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego; California, 54692-54693 [2021-21557]

Download as PDF 54692 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 189 / Monday, October 4, 2021 / Notices of this ICR to 4146, primarily as a result of consolidating this ICR with ICR 2060–0706. No Subpart B facilities were reporting at the time of the last renewal in 2018, however, the Agency identified two respondents that are likely to submit annual reports in 2021, and two responses were added to the ICR, adding 460 hours of labor and $10,600 of nonlabor cost to the burden that was approved in 2019. For Subparts K, R, and W, there were no changes to the number of respondents, the annual time burden, or the annual non-labor cost compared to the most recent renewals of these ICRs.1 The requested burden reflects the sum of the two ICRs that are being consolidated.

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or ‘‘Agency’’) is notifying the public that the Agency has found motor vehicle emissions budgets (‘‘budgets’’) adequate in a California state implementation plan (SIP) submittal for San Diego County. Specifically, our finding relates to budgets in the area’s ‘‘2020 Plan for Attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone in San Diego County (October 2020)’’ (‘‘2020 San Diego Ozone Plan’’ or ‘‘plan’’). We find that these budgets are adequate for transportation conformity purposes for the 2008 and 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Upon the effective date of this notice of adequacy, prior budgets for the 2008 ozone NAAQS previously found adequate by the EPA will no longer be applicable for transportation conformity purposes, and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the U.S. Department of Transportation must use these adequate budgets in future transportation conformity determinations. SUMMARY: 1 For the most recent renewal of ICR 2060–0706, see 86 FR 1965, January 11, 2021. VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:52 Oct 01, 2021 Jkt 256001 This finding is effective October 19, 2021. DATES: John Kelly, EPA, Region IX, Air Division AIR–2, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105–3901; (415) 947– 4151 or kelly.johnj@epa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean the EPA. Today’s notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have already made. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) submitted the plan to the EPA on January 12, 2021, as a revision to the California SIP. The plan contains budgets for both the 2008 and the 2015 ozone NAAQS. These budgets are used for the 2008 ozone NAAQS reasonable further progress (RFP) milestone years 2020 and 2023 and for the attainment year 2026. For the 2015 ozone NAAQS, these budgets are used for RFP milestone years 2023, 2026, and 2029, and for the attainment year 2032. The EPA sent a letter to CARB dated September 21, 2021 stating that the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the submitted 2020 San Diego Ozone Plan are adequate for transportation conformity purposes.1 The finding is available at the EPA’s conformity website.2 We announced availability of the plan and related budgets on the EPA’s transportation conformity website on June 4, 2021, requesting comments by July 6, 2021. We received no comments in response to the adequacy review posting. The adequate budgets are provided in the following tables: SAN DIEGO COUNTY MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS BUDGETS FOR 2015 OZONE NAAQS Budget year 2023 2026 2029 2032 .......... .......... .......... ..........

The EPA’s conformity rule requires that transportation plans, transportation improvement programs, and transportation projects conform to a state’s air quality SIP and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they conform. 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 we use to determine whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emissions budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4), promulgated on August 15, 1997.3 We have further described our process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our final rule dated July 1, 2004, and we used the information in these resources in making our adequacy determination.4 Please note that an adequacy review is separate from the EPA’s completeness review and should not be used to prejudge the EPA’s ultimate action on the SIP submittal. Even if we find a budget adequate, the SIP submittal SAN DIEGO COUNTY MOTOR VEHICLE could later be disapproved.

[EPA-R09-OAR-2021-0135; FRL-8835-01-R9]


Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in Submitted 
8-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego; California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or ``Agency'') is 
notifying the public that the Agency has found motor vehicle emissions 
budgets (``budgets'') adequate in a California state implementation 
plan (SIP) submittal for San Diego County. Specifically, our finding 
relates to budgets in the area's ``2020 Plan for Attaining the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone in San Diego County (October 
2020)'' (``2020 San Diego Ozone Plan'' or ``plan''). We find that these 
budgets are adequate for transportation conformity purposes for the 
2008 and 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). 
Upon the effective date of this notice of adequacy, prior budgets for 
the 2008 ozone NAAQS previously found adequate by the EPA will no 
longer be applicable for transportation conformity purposes, and the 
San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the U.S. Department 
of Transportation must use these adequate budgets in future 
transportation conformity determinations.

DATES: This finding is effective October 19, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Kelly, EPA, Region IX, Air 
Division AIR-2, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901; 
(415) 947-4151 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we,'' 
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean the EPA.
    Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have 
already made. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) submitted the 
plan to the EPA on January 12, 2021, as a revision to the California 
SIP. The plan contains budgets for both the 2008 and the 2015 ozone 
NAAQS. These budgets are used for the 2008 ozone NAAQS reasonable 
further progress (RFP) milestone years 2020 and 2023 and for the 
attainment year 2026. For the 2015 ozone NAAQS, these budgets are used 
for RFP milestone years 2023, 2026, and 2029, and for the attainment 
year 2032.
    The EPA sent a letter to CARB dated September 21, 2021 stating that 
the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the submitted 2020 San Diego 
Ozone Plan are adequate for transportation conformity purposes.\1\ The 
finding is available at the EPA's conformity website.\2\ We announced 
availability of the plan and related budgets on the EPA's 
transportation conformity website on June 4, 2021, requesting comments 
by July 6, 2021. We received no comments in response to the adequacy 
review posting. The adequate budgets are provided in the following 
tables:

    Transportation conformity is required by Clean Air Act section 
176(c). The EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation plans, 
transportation improvement programs, and transportation projects 
conform to a state's air quality SIP and establishes the criteria and 
procedures for determining whether or not they conform. 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 we use to determine whether a SIP's motor vehicle 
emissions budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 
40 CFR 93.118(e)(4), promulgated on August 15, 1997.\3\ We have further 
described our process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP 
budgets in our final rule dated July 1, 2004, and we used the 
information in these resources in making our adequacy determination.\4\ 
Please note that an adequacy review is separate from the EPA's 
completeness review and should not be used to prejudge the EPA's 
ultimate action on the SIP submittal. Even if we find a budget 
adequate, the SIP submittal could later be disapproved.

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e), within two years of the effective 
date of this notice, SANDAG and the U.S. Department of Transportation 
will need to demonstrate conformity to the new budgets if the 
demonstration has not already been made.\5\ For demonstrating 
conformity to the budgets in this plan, the on-road motor vehicle 
emissions from implementation of the transportation plan or program 
should be projected consistently with the budgets in this plan, i.e., 
by taking the county's emissions results derived from CARB's EMFAC 
model (short for EMission FACtor) and then rounding
