Abstract: Creating a modern, streamlined and responsive customer experience means: Raising governmentwide customer experience to the average of the private sector service industry; developing indicators for high-impact Federal programs to monitor progress towards excellent customer experience and mature digital services; and providing the structure (including increasing transparency) and resources to ensure customer experience is a focal point for agency leadership. To support this, OMB Circular A–11 Section 280 established government-wide standards for mature customer experience organizations in government and measurement. To enable Federal programs to deliver the experience PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 taxpayers deserve, they must undertake three general categories of activities: Conduct ongoing customer research, gather and share customer feedback, and test services and digital products. These data collection efforts may be either qualitative or quantitative in nature or may consist of mixed methods. Additionally, data may be collected via a variety of means, including but not limited to electronic or social media, direct or indirect observation (i.e., in person, video and audio collections), interviews, questionnaires, surveys, and focus groups. EPA will limit its inquiries to data collections that solicit strictly voluntary opinions or responses. Steps will be taken to ensure anonymity of respondents in each activity covered by this request. The results of the data collected will be used to improve the delivery of Federal services and programs. It will include the creation of personas, customer journey maps, and reports and summaries of customer feedback data and user insights. It will also provide government-wide data on customer experience that can be displayed on performance.gov to help build transparency and accountability of Federal programs to the customers they serve. EPA will collect this information by electronic means when possible, as well as by mail, fax, telephone, technical discussions, and in-person interviews. EPA may also utilize observational techniques to collect this information. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Collections will be targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future. For the purposes of this request, ‘‘customers’’ are individuals, businesses, and organizations that interact with a Federal Government agency or program, either directly or via a Federal contractor. This could include individuals or households; businesses or other for-profit organizations; not-forprofit institutions; State, local or tribal governments; Federal government; and Universities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 2,001,550 (total). Frequency of response: Varies. Total estimated burden: 101,125 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $0 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM 13OCN1

Adequacy Status of Post-Attainment Year Motor Vehicle Emissions 
Budgets in 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area Plan for South Coast; California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 56931]]


ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is notifying the 
public that the Agency has found that the motor vehicle emissions 
budgets (``budgets'') for the year 2020 in the 2016 Air Quality 
Management Plan (AQMP) for the 2006 fine particulate matter 
(PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in 
the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin ``Serious'' nonattainment area 
(``South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area Plan'') are adequate 
for transportation conformity purposes. The California Air Resources 
Board (CARB) submitted the South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious 
Area Plan to the EPA on April 27, 2017, as a revision to the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). Upon the effective date of this notice 
of adequacy, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 
and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) must use the adequate 
budgets in future transportation conformity analyses.

DATES: This finding is effective October 28, 2021.

Division AIR-2, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901;

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. By letter dated September 28, 2021, EPA Region IX 
notified CARB that the budgets in the South Coast 2006 PM2.5 
Serious Area Plan for the reasonable further progress (RFP) post-
attainment milestone year of 2020 are adequate.\1\ The finding is 
available at EPA's conformity website: https://www.epa.gov/state-and-local-transportation/conformity-adequacy-review-region-9. We announced 
the availability of the South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area 
Plan and related 2020 budgets on the EPA's transportation conformity 
website on April 16, 2021. We received no comments in response to the 
adequacy review posting. The adequate motor vehicle emissions budgets 
are provided in the following table:

for the 2017 RFP year and the 2019 attainment year. We also approved a

future decreases in NOX from on-road mobile sources to 
offset any on-road increases in PM2.5, based on specified

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

    Consistent with the requirements set out in our implementation rule 
for the PM2.5 NAAQS,\8\ we did not act on the RFP budget for 
the post-attainment year of 2020 when we approved the South Coast 2006 
PM2.5 Serious Area Plan. As we noted in our proposed 
approval of the South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area Plan, it 
is not necessary to demonstrate conformity for 2020 or to use the 2020 
budgets until such time as the area fails to attain the 2006 24-hour 
PM2.5 NAAQS.

South Coast Air Basin had failed to attain the 2006 24-hour 
PM2.5 NAAQS by its December 31, 2019 attainment date.\9\ 
Because of that failure to attain, we evaluated the submitted budgets 
for 2020 in the South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area Plan to 
determine whether they are adequate for conformity purposes.

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

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e), within two years of the effective 
date of this notice, SCAG and the DOT will need to demonstrate 
conformity. 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 emissions results derived 
from CARB's EMFAC model (short for EMission FACtor) and then rounding 
the emissions up to the nearest ton. The previously approved trading 
mechanism may be used in connection with the new budgets.
