Isn conformity under the PM2.5 standard on a different timetable?
Yes. Conformity under the PM2.5 standard will apply on April 5, 2006. Therefore, areas designated nonattainment for both the 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 standards may wish to carefully examine their timelines for conformity determinations and transportation plan and TIP updates to meet the different deadlines.
