Adequacy Status of the Northern
Kentucky Attainment Demonstration
8-Hour Ozone Motor Vehicle Emission
Budgets for Transportation Conformity
Purposes
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public
that it has found that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets (MVEBs) in the
Northern Kentucky Attainment
Demonstration State Implementation
Plan (SIP) revision, submitted on
December 7, 2007, by the Kentucky
Division of Air Quality (KDAQ) are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. As a result of EPA’s finding,
the Northern Kentucky Area (Boone,
Campbell and Kenton Counties) must
use the MVEBs from the December 7,
2007, Northern Kentucky Attainment
Demonstration SIP for future conformity
determinations for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard.
DATES: These MVEBs are effective May
13, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lynorae Benjamin, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4, Air
Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street,
SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Ms.
Benjamin can also be reached by
telephone at (404) 562–9040, or via
electronic mail at
benjamin.lynorae@epa.gov. The finding
is available at EPA’s conformity Web
site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is simply an announcement of a
finding that EPA has already made. EPA
Region 4 sent a letter to KDAQ on
March 14, 2008, stating that the MVEBs
in the Northern Kentucky Attainment
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Demonstration SIP, submitted on
December 7, 2007, are adequate. The tri-
state Cincinnati-Hamilton 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area (Area) is comprised
of the following counties: Boone,

Campbell and Kenton in Kentucky;
Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and
Warren in Ohio; and a portion of
Dearborn in Indiana. Kentucky’s
Attainment Demonstration submittal
addresses only MVEBs for the Kentucky
portion of this Area. The MVEBs for the
Ohio and Indiana portions of this Area
are addressed in a separate submittal
provided by Ohio and Indiana. In a
separate letter, EPA made a similar
determination for the MVEBs associated
with the Ohio and Indiana portions of
this Area. EPA is addressing the
adequacy of the Ohio and Indiana
MVEBs through a separate notice. EPA’s
adequacy comment period for the
Kentucky submittal ran from December
18, 2007, through January 17, 2008.
During EPA’s adequacy comment
period, no adverse comments were
received. This finding has also been
announced on EPA’s conformity Web
site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/pastsips.htm.
The adequate MVEBs are provided in
the following table:

Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
EPA’s conformity rule requires that
transportation plans, programs and
projects conform to state air quality
implementation plans 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 national
ambient air quality standards.
The criteria by which EPA determines
whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes are
outlined in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 93.118(e)(4). We have
also described the process for
determining the adequacy of submitted
SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final
rulemaking entitled, ‘‘ Transportation
Conformity Rule Amendments for the
New 8-hour Ozone and PM2.5 National
Ambient Air Quality Standards and
Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing
Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule
Amendments: Response to Court
Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’
(69 FR 40004). Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from EPA’s
PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\28APN1.SGM
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.
Within 24 months from the effective
date of this notice, the transportation
partners will need to demonstrate
conformity to the new MVEBs if the
demonstration has not already been
made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e).
