Approval and Promulgation of an Implementation Plan for Vehicle

Miles Traveled; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is

approving a request from Illinois, for a State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision for the Chicago ozone nonattainment area, which

demonstrates how mobile source emissions will continue to decline over

the years and not increase. In addition, Illinois has implemented 127

transportation control measures (TCMs) for a total reduction of more

than two tons per day of volatile organic compounds. Two public comment

letters were received which are addressed in this rulemaking. This

rulemaking action approves, in final, the first two requirements of the

vehicle miles traveled (VMT) Offset SIP revision request and the

associated TCMs for Chicago, Illinois as requested by Illinois.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective on October 23, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990

(Act), requires States containing ozone nonattainment areas classified

as ``severe'' pursuant to section 181(a) of the Act to adopt TCMs and

transportation control strategies to offset any growth in emissions

from growth in VMT or number of vehicle trips, and to attain reductions

in motor vehicle emissions (in combination with other emission

reduction requirements) as necessary to comply with the Act's RFP

milestones and attainment requirements. The requirements for

establishing a VMT Offset program are discussed in the April 16, 1992,

General Preamble to Title I of the Act (57 FR 13498), in addition to

section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Act.

The VMT Offset provision requires that States submit by November

15, 1992, specific enforceable TCMs and strategies to offset any growth

in emissions from growth in VMT or number of vehicle trips sufficient

to allow total area emissions to comply with the RFP and attainment

requirements of the Act.

As described in the November 2, 1994, proposed rule (see 59 FR

54866, 54867), the USEPA has observed that these three elements (i.e.,

offsetting growth in mobile source emissions, attainment of the RFP

reduction, and attainment of the ozone National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS)) can be divided into three separate submissions that

could be submitted on different dates.

Under this approach, the first element, the emissions offset

element, was due on November 15, 1992. The USEPA believes this element

is not necessarily dependent on the development of the other elements.

The State could submit the emissions growth offset element independent

of an analysis of that element's consistency with the periodic

reduction and attainment requirements of the Act. Emissions trends from

other sources need not be considered to show compliance with this

offset requirement. As submitting this element in isolation does not

implicate the timing problem of advancing deadlines for RFP and

attainment demonstrations, USEPA does not believe it is necessary to

extend the statutory deadline for submittal of the emissions growth

offset element.

The second element, which requires the VMT Offset SIP to comply

with the 15 percent RFP requirement of the Act, was due on November 15,

1993, which is the same date on which the 15 percent RFP SIP itself was

due under section 182(b)(1) of the Act. The USEPA believes it is

reasonable to extend the deadline for this element to the date on which

the entire 15 percent SIP was due, as this allows States to develop the

comprehensive strategy to address the 15 percent reduction requirement

and assure that the TCM elements required under section 182(d)(1)(A)

are consistent with the remainder of the 15 percent demonstration.

Indeed, USEPA believes that only upon submittal of the broader 15

percent plan can a State have had the necessary opportunity to

coordinate its VMT strategy with its 15 percent plan.

The third element, which requires the VMT Offset SIP to comply with

the post-1996 RFP and attainment requirements of the Act, was due on

November 15, 1994, the statutory deadline for those broader

submissions. The USEPA believes it is reasonable to extend the deadline

for this element to the date on which the post-1996 RFP and attainment

SIPs are due for the same reasons it is reasonable to extend the

deadline for the second element. First, it is arguably impossible for a

State to make the showing required by Section 182(d)(1)(A) for the

third element until the broader demonstrations have been developed by

the State. Moreover, allowing States to develop the comprehensive

strategy to address post-1996 RFP and attainment by providing a fuller

opportunity to assure that the TCM elements comply with the broader RFP

and attainment demonstrations, will result in a better program for

reducing emissions in the long term.

On July 14, 1994, Illinois submitted to USEPA documentation to

fulfill the VMT-Offset SIP. A public hearing was held on June 22, 1994,

and documentation on the public hearing was submitted to complete the

SIP revision request. The SIP revision was found to be complete by the

USEPA in a letter dated August 4, 1994. The USEPA proposed to approve

the first and second element on December 4,

[[Page 48897]]

1994. The public comment period ended on January 5, 1995, and two

public comment letters were received.

II. Evaluation of the State Submittal

Section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Act requires the State to offset any

growth in emissions from growth in VMT. As discussed in the General

Preamble, the purpose is to prevent a growth in motor vehicle emissions

from canceling out the emission reduction benefits of the federally

mandated programs in the Act. The USEPA interprets this provision to

require that sufficient measures be adopted so that projected motor

vehicle volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions will never be higher

during the ozone season in one year than during the ozone season in the

year before. When growth in VMT and vehicle trips would otherwise cause

a motor vehicle emissions upturn, this upturn must be prevented. The

emissions level at the point of upturn becomes a ceiling on motor

vehicle emissions. This requirement applies to projected emissions in

the years between the submission of the SIP revision and the attainment

deadline, and is above and beyond the separate requirements for the RFP

and the attainment demonstrations. The ceiling level is defined,

therefore, up to the point of upturn, as motor vehicle emissions that

would occur in the ozone season of that year, with VMT growth, if all

measures for that area in that year were implemented as required by the

Act. When this curve begins to turn up due to growth in VMT or vehicle

trips, the ceiling becomes a fixed value. The ceiling line would

include the effects of Federal measures such as new motor vehicle

standards, phase II RVP controls, and reformulated gasoline, as well as

the Act-mandated SIP requirements.

The State of Illinois has demonstrated in its submittal of July 14,

1994, that the predicted growth in VMT in Chicago, Illinois, is not

expected to result in a growth in motor vehicle emissions that will

negate the effects of the reductions mandated by the Act. For this

analysis, Illinois used an average summer weekday VMT growth rate of

2.7 percent per year between 1990 and 1996. This growth rate is

supported by the ground counts in the Illinois road file and confirmed

by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Further, Illinois has

projected motor vehicle emissions to the year 2007 using a 2.7 percent

per year growth rate not withstanding that the most current

socioeconomic data in combination with the transportation network model

predicts a lower VMT growth rate. The 2.7 percent per year projection

does not predict an upturn in motor vehicle emissions through the year

2007. In the event that the projected socioeconomic data and associated

VMT grow more rapidly than currently predicted, Illinois is required by

Section 182(c)(5) to track actual VMT starting with 1996 and every

three years thereafter to demonstrate that the actual VMT is equal to

or less than the projected VMT. TCMs will be required to offset VMT

that is above the projected levels (section 182(c)(5)).

Illinois has evaluated the effectiveness and predicted impact of a

number of TCMs. The TCM evaluation is documented in the December 9,

1993, Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS) document

``Transportation Control Measures Contribution to the 15 percent Rate

of Progress State Implementation Plan''. CATS is the metropolitan

planning organization for the Chicago metropolitan area. The December

9, 1993, document (which is part of the docket for this notice) lists

the TCMs and the emission reduction calculation methodology. Illinois

has implemented TCMs in the Chicago area and has included TCMs in the

15 percent RFP SIP. Today's SIP revision approval incorporates these

TCMs into the Illinois SIP and requires Illinois to construct and

operate the specified TCMs that are identified and credited to meet the

15 percent RFP and post 1996 RFP. These TCMs are listed in Table 1. On

March 9, 1995 the Policy Committee of the Chicago Area Transportation

Study, as metropolitan planning organization for northeastern Illinois,

approved these TCMs for submittal to the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency as part of the control strategy SIP for the Chicago

ozone nonattainment area. There are 127 TCMs that are being

incorporated into the Illinois SIP, for an estimated reduction in

volatile organic compounds of 2.78 tons per day (tpd). Illinois is

using 2.0 tpd to meet the required 15 percent, and the additional 0.78

tpd will be credited toward the post 1996 RFP. Most of the TCMs (111)

have already been completed and the remaining TCMs are scheduled to be

completed by the end of 1996. The vanpool incentive program has been

implemented and the Pace Board (the project implementor) has committed

to this project for future years.

Illinois has taken credit for conventional TCMs such as signal

interconnects, additional commuter parking, vanpool programs and

transit improvements which include station improvements and new rapid

transit service to Midway Airport. The specific projects are listed in

Table 1. In addition, Illinois has implemented a number of TCMs that

are expected to benefit air quality such as bicycle and pedestrian

projects that will help eliminate trips. At this time, however,

Illinois is not taking a reduction credit for these projects since a

methodology for determining the emission reduction credit is not firmly

established and additional studies of the effectiveness of these

projects are being conducted. Illinois may take credit for these

projects at a later date. Because Illinois is not taking credit at this

time, these projects are not currently being approved as part of this

SIP revision request.

Illinois submitted a 15 percent RFP SIP for the Chicago area to the

USEPA in November 1993, but the submittal was found incomplete in a

letter dated January 21, 1994. The RFP SIP lacked enforceable

regulations.

On May 23, 1995, Illinois submitted materials to supplement the 15

percent RFP plan. This submittal finalized Illinois' 15 percent SIP.

The USEPA found Illinois' submitted 15 percent SIP complete on June 15,

1995. The SIP submission contains a menu of adopted emissions

reductions measures that the State believes will achieve the 15 percent

reduction requirement by November 15, 1996. In the submission, Illinois

uses TCMs for a reduction credit of 2 tpd.

For the attainment demonstration and post-1996 RFP SIPs, which

Illinois submitted on November 22, 1994 and May 23, 1995, USEPA is

still in the process of evaluating these SIP submission.

Illinois has met the first and second elements of the VMT offset

SIP requirements of section 182(d)(1)(A). Regarding the first element,

Illinois has identified and evaluated TCMs to reduce VMT, and has shown

that VMT growth will not result in a growth of motor vehicle emissions

that will negate the effects of the reductions required under the Act

and that there will not be an upturn of motor vehicle emissions.

Regarding the second element, Illinois has submitted a complete 15

percent SIP that relies upon TCMs for 2 tpd to make its proffered

showing that the 15 percent reduction will be achieved. These TCMs will

be approved into the Illinois SIP effective with this final rule.

Consequently, USEPA does not believe it is necessary to delay taking

action on this second element of the VMT SIP, and that the Agency can

at this point rely upon Illinois's submitted 15 percent SIP to satisfy

the second VMT SIP element. However, if in evaluating the 15 percent

SIP for approval it is

[[Page 48898]]

determined that Illinois will in fact need to implement additional

measures to meet the 15 percent RFP requirement, and a subsequent

submission of a revised 15 percent SIP is required, EPA would have to

reevaluate its approval of the second element of the VMT SIP.

The third requirement is for Illinois to use TCMs as necessary to

attain the standard. This third requirement will be applicable if

Illinois incorporates TCMs into its attainment plan through any future

SIP revisions.

III. Public Comments

On December 6, 1994, the USEPA proposed to approve the first and

second elements of the Illinois VMT Offset SIP and requested public

comment. The public comment period closed on January 5, 1995, and 2

sets of comments were received. The Natural Resources Defense Council

(NRDC) submitted comments and the Environmental Law and Policy Center

submitted comments for themselves and the following groups: the

American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago; Business and

Professional People for the Public Interest; the Center for

Neighborhood Technology; the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation; and the

Sierra Club, Illinois Chapter. The following summarizes the comments

and USEPA's response to these comments:

Comment: Commenters argue that the Act requires TCMs to offset

emissions resulting from all growth in VMT above 1990 levels, and USEPA

is required by the Act to ensure emission reductions despite an

increase in VMT. The legislative history states that ``[t]he baseline

for determining whether there has been a growth in emissions due to

increased VMT is the level of vehicle emissions that would occur if VMT

held constant in the year.'' See H. Rep. No. 101-490 Part I, 101st

Cong., 2nd session at 242, and S. Rep. No. 101-228, 101st Cong., 1st

Sess. at 44.

Response: As discussed in the General Preamble, USEPA believes that

section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Act requires the State to ``offset any

growth in emissions'' from growth in VMT but not, as suggested by the

comment, all emissions resulting from VMT growth (see 57 FR 13498,

13522-13523, April 16, 1992). The purpose is to prevent a growth in

motor vehicle emissions from canceling out the emission reduction

benefits of the federally mandated programs in the Act. The baseline

for emissions is the 1990 level of vehicle emissions and the subsequent

reductions in emission levels required to reach attainment. Thus, the

anticipated benefits from the mandated measures such as the Federal

motor vehicle pollution control program, lower reid vapor pressure,

enhanced inspection and maintenance and all other motor vehicle

emission control programs are included in the ceiling line calculation

used by Illinois in the VMT Offset SIP. Table 2 in the Illinois

submittal shows how emissions will decline substantially from 491.2

tons per day (tpd) in 1990 to 151.4 tpd in 2007 (assuming a 2.7 percent

per year VMT growth rate) and will not begin to turn up. Emission

reductions are expected every year through the year 2007.

The ceiling line approach does not ``tolerate increases in traffic

of a magnitude that would wipe out the air quality gains'' as suggested

by the comment. In fact, the ceiling line level decreases from year to

year as the State implements various control measures and the

decreasing ceiling line prevents an upturn in mobile source emissions.

Dramatic increases in VMT that could wipe out the benefits of motor

vehicle emission reduction measures will not be allowed and will

trigger the implementation of TCMs. This prevents mere preservation of

the status quo, and ensures emissions reductions despite an increase in

VMT such that the rate of emissions decline is not slowed by increases

in VMT or number of trips. To prevent future growth changes from

adversely impacting emissions from motor vehicles, Illinois is required

by section 182(c)(5) to track actual VMT starting with 1996 and every

three years thereafter to demonstrate that the actual VMT is equal to

or less than the projected VMT. TCMs will be required to offset VMT

that is above the projected levels (section 182(c)(5)).

Under the commenter's approach to section 182(d)(1)(A), Illinois

would have to offset VMT growth even while vehicle emissions are

declining. Although the statutory language could be read to require

offsetting any VMT growth, USEPA believes that the language can also be

read so that only actual emissions increases resulting from VMT growth

need to be offset. The statute by its own terms requires offsetting of

``any growth in emissions from growth in VMT.'' It is reasonable to

interpret this language as requiring that VMT growth must be offset

only where such growth results in emissions increases from the motor

vehicle fleet in the area.

While it is true that the language of the legislative history

appears to support the commenter's interpretation of the statutory

language, such an interpretation would have drastic implications for

Illinois if the State were forced to ignore the beneficial impacts of

all vehicle tailpipe and alternative fuel controls. Although the

original authors of the provision and the legislative history may in

fact have intended this result, USEPA does not believe that the

Congress as a whole, or even the full House of Representatives,

believed at the time it voted to pass the 1990 Amendments to the Act

that the words of this provision would impose such severe restrictions.

Given the susceptibility of the statutory language to these two

alternative interpretations, USEPA believes it is the Agency's role in

administering the statute to take the interpretation most reasonable in

light of the practical implications of such interpretation and the

purposes and intent of the statutory scheme as a whole. In the context

of the intricate planning requirements Congress established in title I

to bring areas towards attainment of the ozone NAAQS, and in light of

the absence of any discussion of this aspect of the VMT offset

provision by the Congress as a whole (either in floor debate or in the

Conference Report), USEPA concludes that the appropriate interpretation

of section 182(d)(1)(A) requires offsetting VMT growth only when such

growth would result in actual emissions increases.

Comment: Section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Act requires that emissions of

oxides of nitrogen (NOX) as well as VOCs resulting from VMT growth

must be offset.

Response: USEPA disagrees with the commenter's interpretation that

section 182(d)(1)(A) requires NOX emissions from VMT growth to be

offset. While that section provides that ``any growth in emissions''

from growth in VMT must be offset, USEPA believes that Congress clearly

intended that the offset requirement be limited to VOC emissions.

First, section 182(d)(1)(A)'s requirement that a State's VMT TCMs

comply with the ``periodic emissions reduction requirements'' of

sections 182(b) and (c) the Act indicates that the VMT offset SIP

requirement is VOC-specific. Section 182(c)(2)(B), which requires

reasonable further progress demonstrations for serious ozone

nonattainment areas, provides that such demonstrations will result in

VOC emissions reductions; thus, the only ``periodic emissions reduction

requirement'' of section 182(c)(2)(B) is VOC-specific. In fact, it is

only in section 182(c)(2)(C)--a provision not referenced in section

182(d)(1)(A)--that Congress provided States the authority to submit

demonstrations providing for reductions of emissions of VOCs and

[[Page 48899]]

NOX in lieu of the SIP otherwise required by section 182(c)(2)(B).

Moreover, the 15 percent periodic reduction requirement of section

182(b)(1)(A)(i) applies only to VOC emissions, while only the separate

``annual'' reduction requirement applies to both VOC and NOX

emissions. USEPA believes that Congress did not intend the terms

``periodic emissions reductions'' and ``annual emissions reductions''

to be synonymous, and that the former does not include the latter. In

section 176(c)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act, Congress required that conformity

SIPs ``contribute to annual emissions reductions'' consistent with

section 182(b)(1) (and thus achieve NOX emissions reductions), but

does not refer to the 15 percent periodic reduction requirement.

Conversely, section 182(d)(1)(A) refers to the periodic emissions

reduction requirements of the Act, but does not refer to annual

emissions reduction requirements that require NOX reductions.

Consequently, USEPA interprets the requirement that VMT SIPs comply

with periodic emissions reduction requirements of the Act to mean that

only VOC emissions are subject to section 182(d)(1)(A) in severe ozone

nonattainment areas.

Finally, USEPA notes that where Congress intended section 182 ozone

SIP requirements to apply to NOX as well as VOC emissions, it

specifically extended applicability to NOX. Thus, references to

ozone or emissions in general in section 182 do not on their own

implicate NOX. For example, in section 182(a)(2)(C), the Act

requires States to require preconstruction permits for new or modified

stationary sources ``with respect to ozone''; Congress clearly did not

believe this reference to ozone alone was sufficient to subject

NOX emissions to the permitting requirement, since it was

necessary to enact section 182(f)(1) of the Act, which specifically

extends the permitting requirement to major stationary sources of

NOX. Since section 182(d)(1)(A) does not specifically identify

NOX emissions requirements in addition to the VOC emissions

requirements identified in the provision, USEPA does not believe States

are required to offset NOX emissions from VMT growth in their

section 182(d)(1)(A) SIPs.

IV. Final Rulemaking Action

Based on the State's submittal request and in consideration of the

public comments received in response to the proposed rule, USEPA is

approving the SIP revision submitted by the State of Illinois as

satisfying the first two of the three VMT offset plan requirements. The

USEPA is also approving into the Illinois SIP 127 TCMs creditable to

the 15 percent and post 1996 RFP.

This action has been classified as a Table 3 action by the Regional

Administrator under the procedures published in the Federal Register on

January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214-2225), as revised by a July 10, 1995

memorandum from Mary Nichols, Assistant Administrator for Air and

Radiation. The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this

regulatory action from Executive Order 12866 review.

Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or

allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for

revision to any SIP. Each request for revision to any SIP shall be

considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and

environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and

regulatory requirements.

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., USEPA

must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of

any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604.

Alternatively, USEPA may certify that the rule will not have a

significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small

entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises,

and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than

50,000.

SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the Act

do not create any new requirements, but simply approve requirements

that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the Federal SIP-

approval does not impose any new requirements, I certify that it does

not have a significant impact on small entities affected. Moreover, due

to the nature of the Federal-state relationship under the Act,

preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis would constitute

Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state action. The

Act forbids USEPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds.

See Union Electric Co. v. U.S. E.P.A., 427 U.S. 246, 256-66 (S. Ct.

1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, the

USEPA must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any

proposed or final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result

in estimated costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the

aggregate; or to the private sector, of $100 million or more. Under

Section 205, the USEPA must select the most cost-effective and least

burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule and is

consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 requires the USEPA

to establish a plan for informing and advising any small governments

that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.

The USEPA has determined that the approval action promulgated today

does not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs

of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments

in the aggregate, or to the private sector.

This Federal action approves pre-existing requirements under State

or local law, and imposes no new Federal requirements. Accordingly, no

additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or the private

sector, result from this action.

Under Section 307(b)(1) of the Act, petitions for judicial review

of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for

the appropriate circuit by November 20, 1995. Filing a petition for

reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect

the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does

it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be

filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.

This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its

requirements. (see Section 307(b)(2)).
