  <title><![CDATA[Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Budget in Submitted Five Percent  Plan for PM-10 for the Phoenix Metropolitan]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-06-16-E8-13519</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that the Agency 
has found that the motor vehicle emissions budget in the submitted MAG 
2007 Five Percent Plan for PM10 for the Maricopa County Nonattainment 
Area (December 2007) (``2007 MAG 5% Plan'') is adequate for 
transportation conformity purposes. The 2007 MAG 5% Plan was submitted 
to EPA on December 21, 2007 by the Arizona Department of Environmental 
Quality as a revision to the Arizona state implementation plan. The 
2007 MAG 5% Plan includes a demonstration of no less than five percent 
annual emissions reductions in particulate matter with an aerodynamic 
diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10) and a 
demonstration of PM10 attainment in the Phoenix metropolitan area by 
2010. As a result of our finding, the Maricopa Association of 
Governments and the U.S. Department of Transportation must use the 
motor vehicle emissions budget from the submitted five percent plan for 
PM10 for future conformity determinations.

  <title><![CDATA[
 Notice of Availability for the Framework for Application of the  Toxicity Equivalence Methodology for Polychlorinated]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-06-16-E8-13484</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing 
the availability of the final ``Framework for Application of the 
Toxicity Equivalence Methodology for Polychlorinated Dioxins, Furans, 
and Biphenyls in Ecological Risk Assessment'' (EPA/100/R08/004). The 
purpose of the Framework is to assist EPA scientists in using the 
toxicity equivalence methodology to assess ecological risks from 
mixtures of dioxinlike chemicals, i.e., polychlorinated dibenzop
dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and biphenyls (PCBs), as well 
as to inform EPA decision makers, other agencies, and the public about 
this methodology. This framework provides an introduction to the 
toxicity equivalence methodology, offers considerations for how and 
when to apply the methodology, and presents practical examples of its 
use. The Framework thus serves to enhance the application of the best 
available science. This document is not intended to serve as guidance 
on how to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment for dioxinlike <script type="text/javascript">
