available at the EPA’s conformity
website: www.epa.gov/state-and-localtransportation/conformity-adequacyreview-region-3.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is an announcement of a finding
that EPA has already made. EPA Region
3 sent a letter to MDE on June 1, 2023,
stating that the 2023 MVEBs are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. The transportation conformity
rule requires that EPA conduct a public
process and make an affirmative
decision on the adequacy of these
budgets before they can be used by
metropolitan planning organizations
(MPO) in transportation conformity
determinations.
As a result of this finding, upon the
effective date of this notice of adequacy,
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
DATES:
the MPO must use the MVEBs
associated with the attainment
demonstration for future transportation
conformity determinations. EPA
announced availability of the attainment
demonstration and related MVEBs on
the EPA’s transportation conformity
website on April 3, 2023, requesting
comments by May 3, 2023. EPA
received no comments in response to
the adequacy review posting. The
MVEBs are provided in Table 1 in this
document.

to demonstrate conformity to the
MVEBs. To do so, the on-road motor
vehicle emissions from implementation
of the long-range transportation plan
should be projected consistently with
the MVEBs. Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from EPA’s
completeness review, and it also should
not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate
approval of the SIP. Even if EPA finds
the MVEBs adequate, the Agency may
later determine that the SIP itself is not
approvable.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q.

Transportation conformity is required
by Clean Air Act section 176(c), 42
U.S.C. 7506(c). EPA’s conformity rule
requires that long-range 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. See
id. at section 7506(c)(1)(B).
The criteria EPA uses to determine
whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for
conformity purposes are outlined in 40
CFR 93.118(e)(4). EPA has described the
process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP budgets in 40 CFR
93.118(f). Under 40 CFR 93.104(e),
within 2 years of the effective date of
this notice, the MPO and the U.S.

Title: Advancing Understanding of Non-Federal Spectrum Usage (WT Docket No. 23–
232).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Inquiry that would initiate a technical inquiry into how to obtain more sophisticated knowledge of real-time non-Federal spectrum usage—and how the Commission could take advantage of modern
capabilities for doing so in a cost-effective, accurate, scalable, and actionable manner. The Notice of Inquiry would explore the potential to advance the Commission’s
understanding of commercial spectrum usage by leveraging new data sources,
methods, and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in an
increasingly congested radiofrequency environment.
Title: Updating Digital FM Radio Service (MB Docket No. 22–405).
Summary: The Commission will consider an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on proposed changes to the methodology used to determine maximum power levels for digital FM broadcast stations and to the process for
authorizing digital transmissions at different power levels on the upper and lower
digital sidebands.
