Compliance with the usages of the Established Church.
Process to assess the compliance of any transportation plan, program or project with air quality implementation plans. The conformity process is defined by the Clean Air Act.
The compliance of any transportation plan, program, or project with air quality implementation plans. The CAA defines the conformity process.
The US Clean Air Act stipulates that any approved transportation project, plan, or program must conform to the State Implementation Plan, a document with prescribed procedures for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of primary and secondary pollutants.
The conformity rule requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to state air quality implementation plans (SIPs) and establishes the criteria and procedures to determine if plans comply. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.
The ongoing federal process that ensures the planning for highway and transit systems, as a whole and over the long term, is consistent with the state air quality plans for attaining and maintaining health-based air quality standards; conformity is determined by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), and is based on whether transportation plans and programs meet the provisions of a State Implementation Plan.
A process in which transportation plans and spending programs are reviewed to ensure they are consistent with federal clean air requirements; transportation projects collectively must not worsen air quality.
Finding that a plan confirms with the SIP's purpose of eliminating or reducing the severity and number of violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Conformity also means that the plan will help achieve expeditious attainment of the standards, and that activities in the conforming plan will not a) cause of contribute to any new violations of any standard in any area, b) increase the frequency or severity of an existing violation of any standard in any area, or c) delay timely attainment of any standard or any required interim emission reductions or other milestones in any area.
Conformity is a determination made by the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and the U.S. DOT that transportation plans and programs in nonattainment and maintenance areas meet the purpose of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), which is reducing pollutant emissions to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) criteria.
A demonstration of whether a federally-supported activity is consistent with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) - per Section 176 (c) of the Clean Air Act. Transportation conformity refers to plans, programs, and projects approved or funded by the Federal Highway Administration or the Federal Transit Administration. General conformity refers to projects approved or funded by other federal agencies.
The fulfillment of specified requirements. Same as compliance.
A process that ensures that highway and transit projects are consistent with state clean air plans.
