Adequacy Status of the Maricopa County, Arizona Submitted PM-10 
Attainment Plan for Transportation Conformity Purposes, Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of correction.

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

published in the Federal Register on April 6, 2000, that stated that 
the submitted Maricopa County (Phoenix, Arizona) serious area 
particulate matter (PM-10) attainment plan is adequate for 
transportation conformity purposes. This notice does not change the 
adequacy status of the plan, just clarifies language in the April 6 
notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

adequate emissions budgets \1\ for transportation conformity purposes. 
The last sentence of the notice, which refers to how the adequacy 
decision was made, incorrectly stated ``We followed this guidance in 
making our inadequacy determination on the Maricopa County PM-10 
plan.'' This sentence should have stated, ``We followed this guidance 
in making our adequacy determination on the Maricopa County PM-10 
plan.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Note that the plan provides for a regional PM10 emission 
budget which is applicable for both the annual and 24 hour PM-10 
standards.
