| 95-21405 | Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments: Miscellaneous Revisions | Proposed Rule | EPA proposes in this action to make several changes to its current regulation requiring certain transportation actions to conform to the state's air quality plan. This action proposes to amend the November 24, 1993, transportation conformity rule in order to allow transportation control measures (TCMs) to proceed even if the conformity status of the transportation plan and program has lapsed, provided the TCM is included in an approved state implementation plan or federal implementation plan and was included in a previously conforming transportation plan and program. Such TCMs would be halted under the existing transportation conformity rule should a conformity lapse occur. This proposal would also extend the grace period before which areas must determine conformity to a submitted control strategy implementation plan. This extension would provide relief most immediately to some moderate and above ozone nonattainment areas, for which conformity otherwise would lapse on November 15, 1995, should such areas fail to demonstrate conformity. This action proposes to align the date of conformity lapse with the date of application of Clean Air Act highway sanctions for any failure to submit or submission of an incomplete control strategy state implementation plan (SIP). This proposal would also correct the nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X) provisions of the transportation conformity rule consistent with previous commitments made by EPA in Federal Register notices concerning transportation conformity NO<INF>X waivers. This proposal to change the statutory authority for NO<INF>X waivers is also published as an interim final rule in the final rule section of today's Federal Register, and is effective immediately. Finally, this action proposes to establish a grace period before which transportation plan and program conformity must be determined in newly designated nonattainment areas; clarify certain wording; and make certain technical corrections. EPA proposes that a transportation conformity SIP revision consistent with these amendments would be required to be submitted to EPA by 12 months following the date of publication of the final rule. | 1995-08-29 | 1995 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/08/29/95-21405/transportation-conformity-rule-amendments-miscellaneous-revisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-08-29/pdf/95-21405.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA proposes in this action to make several changes to its current regulation requiring certain transportation actions to conform to the state's air quality plan.
