In this document, EPA is notifying the public that we have found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the Aspen maintenance plan for particulate matter of 10 micrograms in size or smaller (PM<INF>10</INF>) submitted on November 9, 2001, are adequate for conformity purposes. On March 2, 1999, the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that submitted State Implementation Plans (SIPs) cannot be used for conformity determinations until EPA has affirmatively found them adequate. As a result of our finding, the City of Aspen and Pitkin County, the Colorado Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation are required to use the motor vehicle emissions budgets from this submitted maintenance plan for future conformity determinations.
