40 CFR Part 52
[IL98-2-6840; FRL-5299-3]
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)).
