Air Quality Conformity Analysis Fampo star

Air Quality Conformity applies to long-range transportation plans, shorter-term transportation improvement programs (TIPs) and transportation projects funded or approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Conformity requirements apply in areas that either do not meet or previously have not met certain air quality standards. Air Quality Maintenance Area
Conformity determinations must be made at least every three years, or when transportation plans or TIPs are updated. Also, conformity determinations must be made within 18 months of certain actions on the state's air quality plan. In addition, conformity determinations must be made within 12-months of an area being designated by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as nonattainment for ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM-10 and PM-2.5), or nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the pollutants for which conformity is required.
In nonattainment and maintenance areas, projects must come from a currently conforming transportation plan and TIP that have undergone a conformity determination which has been approved by FHWA and FTA. In carbon monoxide and particulate matter nonattainment and maintenance areas, additional analysis may be necessary for Federally funded or approved projects, to determine if a project has localized or micro-scale air quality impacts as part of project-level conformity.
Fredericksburg, Virginia 8-Hour Ozone Maintenance Area Transportation Conformity Analysis Report
In compliance with the Federal Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR Parts 51 and 93), this report dated February 2008 represents the air quality conformity assessment for the financially constrained 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-2012 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) developed by the Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organziation (FAMPO).
The conformity demonstration applies to the Fredericksburg, Virginia region, which was redesignated to attainment for the 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (70 FR 76165, effective January 23, 2006). The re-designated area was made subject to a concurrently-approved air quality maintenance plan, however, so federal conformity requirements still apply. The maintenance area includes Stafford County, Spotsylvania County and the City of Fredericksburg.
