Document Number: 2012-23493
Type: Notice

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
In this notice, EPA is notifying the public of its finding that the volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) motor vehicle emissions budget (MVEBs) for the portion of York County, South Carolina that is within the Charlotte-Gastonia- Rock Hill, North Carolina-South Carolina Area (hereafter referred to as the ``bi-state Charlotte Area'' or ``Area'') are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. These MVEBs are included in South Carolina's maintenance plan for the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), submitted on June 1, 2011, by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC). The South Carolina portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area is comprised of a portion of York County, South Carolina. On March 2, 1999, the District of Columbia Circuit Court ruled that submitted state implementation plans (SIPs) cannot be used for transportation conformity determinations until EPA has affirmatively found them adequate. As a result of EPA's finding, the South Carolina portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area must use the VOC and NOX MVEBs from the submitted maintenance plan for the Area for future conformity determinations.
