Thisdesignation was based on 1988 air quality data which violated the NAAQS forozone. Since 1988 year the nonattainment area has had no violations of thestandards. However, the area must comply with the nonattainment arearequirements in the CAAA. In January 1994, the Ohio EPA working with theOhio Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Mid-Ohio Regional PlanningCommission (MORPC), and the Licking County Area Transportation Study (LCATS)submitted a redesignation request to United States Environmental ProtectionAgency (USEPA) for the three county nonattainment area. However, an area thatis redesignated to attainment must still meet the approved NOX budget for theconformity analysis. This appendix documents that the conformity determinationfor the three county nonattainment area Transportation Improvement Programs(TIPs) are based upon analysis that was conducted consistent with the finaltransportation conformity regulation procedures.
