Adequacy Review of SIP Submissions for Conformity
In EPA's adequacy review, the Agency determines whether the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) are adequate for conformity purposes.
For more information on SIP submissions currently under EPA adequacy review and SIP submissions EPA has already found adequate, see the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality Transportation Conformity Web Site.

Nevada's Best Available Retrofit Technology for NOx emissions at Reid Gardner Generating Station
EPA is proposing to approve partially and disapprove partially Nevada's BART determination to control NOx emissions at Reid Gardner Generating Station (RGGS) Units 1, 2 and 3. This is the remaining portion of Nevada's Regional Haze Implementation Plan, that was published in 77 FR 17334 on March 26, 2012.

Clark County
On March 29, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published a direct final rule in the Federal Register determining that the Clark County, Nevada nonattainment area has attained the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). This direct final action is effective May 31, 2011. On the day of publication, we also published a proposed action, which provides for a 30-day public comment period. We did not receive any public comment.

Nevada Regional Haze State Implementation Plan
EPA is taking final action, approving Nevada’s plan to reduce visibility impairment at national parks and wilderness areas inside Nevada and in nearby states. However, EPA is taking no action on the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) determination for nitrogen oxide (NOx) at the Reid-Gardner Generating Station. EPA intends to propose action on the NOx BART determination in the future.

Transportation Conformity in Las Vegas (Clark County), Nevada (November 2008)
On November 7, 2008 EPA published a direct final notice approving the Clark County Transportation Conformity Plan. Transportation conformity is required under section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act to ensure that federally supported highway, transit projects, and other activities are consistent with ("conform to") the purpose of the state implmentation plan. This means that transportation activites will not cause new air quality violations, worsen violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant national ambient air quality standards.
No comments were received, and the approval was effective on January 6, 2009. The Federal Register notices and the technical support document, which contains EPA's evaluation of the Clark county transportation conformity plan, are included below.
