Title: Transportation Conformity Rule Amendment: Clarification of Trading Provisions 
Abstract: The transportation conformity rule, promulgated in November 1993, ensures that transportation and air quality planning are consistent with Clean Air Act air quality standards. EPA intended to revise this rule to address issues regarding quantification of emissions reductions that can be traded among parties and how such trading should occur. The Agency now believes this action is no longer necessary because the existing 1993 rule can accommodate issues related to emissions trading.
