Book Description
The modern Clean Air Act is the product of nearly a dozen separate Acts of Congress over the course of the last 40 years. The Act, as it is structured today, was adopted in 1970, and is the primary federal statute regulating air quality and emissions of pollutants into the air. It is comprised of several different titles, each providing different types of limitations on pollutant emissions. The 1977 amendments to the Clean Air Act included, for the first time, the concept of 'conformity.' Conformity is the 'mechanism intended to ensure that departments, agencies or instrumentalities of the federal government do not take, approve or support actions that are in any way inconsistent with a state's plan to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards'. Conformity applies only to federal actions, not to the entire regulated community. As such, it particularly affects the Department of Defense (DOD) whenever it decides to take a variety of actions. Indeed, the Clean Air Act's conformity provision has been called "(p)robably the most significant single environmental obstacle to (military) base conversion. . . This thesis will explore the concept of general conformity, the guidance DOD has created to assist the services in implementing general conformity, and recent conformity litigation that is likely to affect DOD's activities now and in the future.

Book Description
Transportation conformity is required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 176(c) to ensure that Federally-supported transportation activities are consistent with (“conform to”) the purpose of a State Implementation Plan (SIP). Transportation conformity establishes the framework for improving air quality to protect public health and the environment. Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding and approvals are given to highway and transit activities that will not cause new air quality violations, worsen existing air quality violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant air quality standard, or any interim milestone. This Guide was prepared to help State and local officials understand transportation conformity and how conformity requirements relate to transportation investments in their communities. Specifically, the implications of conformity on metropolitan transportation plans, transportation improvement programs (TIPs), and transportation projects are discussed. The Guide provides overview information on the major elements of the conformity process and provides answers to basic questions. Several exhibits are included in the Guide to illustrate key elements of the conformity process. Appendices are also included that discuss the health effects of pollutants, options to reduce on-road mobile source emissions, and resource agency contacts.
