Title: ●Transportation Conformity PM2.5 and PM10 Amendments
Abstract: The transportation conformity rule ensures that transportation planning is consistent with a state's plan for achieving air quality standards. These technical amendments will clarify 1) how certain highway and transit projects meet statutory conformity requirements for particulate matter, to respond to a December 2007 court ruling, and 2) how to implement conformity requirements in light of the revocation of the October 17, 2006, revisions to the PM10 and 24-hour PM2.5 standards. EPA will likely designate areas for the 2006 PM2.5 standard by December 2008, effective March 2009. The statute requires that conformity apply 1 year after the effective date of designations; i.e., March 2010.
