Summary
EPA is notifying the public that the Agency has found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets for the Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) milestone year 2017 from the “2008 Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County (December 2016)”, are adequate for transportation conformity purposes for the 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) submitted the 2016 San Diego Ozone Plan to the EPA on April 12, 2017, as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). Upon the effective date of this notice of adequacy, the previously-approved budgets for the 1997 8-hour ozone standards 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
Action
Notice of adequacy.
Dates
This finding is effective December 4, 2017.
