Title: Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments for New 8-Hour Ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards 
Abstract: The transportation conformity rule ensures that transportation planning is consistent with a state's plans for achieving the air quality standards. These amendments to the existing transportation conformity rule are necessary as a result of the new 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 air quality standards. The main issues that will be addressed in these amendments are the regional emissions tests that apply before new SIPs are submitted and which particulate matter provisions of the rule apply to PM2.5.
