ANNOUNCEMENT 2


Subject: AIR, TRANSPORT - PR. EPA. Transportation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and
PM10 Amendments
 
[Federal Register: May 15, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 93)]
[Proposed Rules]              
[Page 23023-23043]

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 93

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0540; FRL-8904-1]
RIN 2060-AP29

Transportation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and
PM10 Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing amendments to the transportation conformity
rule that primarily affect conformity's implementation in
PM2.5 and PM10 nonattainment and maintenance
areas. EPA is proposing to update the transportation conformity
regulation in light of the October 17, 2006 final rule that
strengthened the 24-hour PM2.5 air quality standard and
revoked the annual PM10 standard. In addition, EPA is
proposing to clarify the regulations concerning hot-spot analyses to
address a remand from the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit (Environmental Defense v. EPA, 509 F.3d 553 (DC Cir. 2007)).
This portion of the proposal applies to PM2.5 and
PM10 nonattainment and maintenance areas as well as carbon
monoxide nonattainment and maintenance areas.
    The Clean Air Act requires federally supported transportation
plans, transportation improvement programs, and projects to be
consistent with (``conform to'') the purpose of the state air quality
implementation plan. DOT is EPA's federal partner in implementing the
transportation conformity regulation. EPA has consulted with DOT, and
they concur with this proposed rule.

DATES: Written comments on this proposal must be received on or before
June 15, 2009, unless a public hearing is requested by May 26, 2009. If
a public hearing is requested by a commenter, it will be held June 4,
2009 at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2000 Traverwood
Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan. If a hearing is requested, written comments
must be received by June 29, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2008-0540, by one of the following methods:
    www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.

submit a request to renew an existing approved Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This ICR is

is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 14, 2009.

http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://
www.regulations.gov

identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through http://www.regulations.gov your e-mail address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/
