riod ending on either the final year of the transpor-

Such conformity determination shall be accompanied 
by a regional emissions analysis for any years of the 
transportation plan that extend beyond such final 
conformity date. In the case in which an area has 
a revision to an implementation plan under section 
175A(b) and the Administrator has found the motor 
vehicle emissions budgets from that revision to be 
adequate in accordance with section 93.118(e)(4) of 
title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect

tion control agency, as defined in section 302(b), if 
such air pollution control agency is responsible for 
developing plans or controlling pollution within the 
area covered by the transportation plan) and the 
metropolitan planning organization shall be required 
to extend only through the last year of the imple-
mentation plan required under section 175A(b).’.

‘(8)(A) Transportation control measures that

lent or greater emission reductions than the 
control measures to be replaced, as determined

‘(ii) the substitute measures utilize an 
emissions impact analysis that is consistent 
with the current methodology used for evalu-

such emission reductions are necessary to 
achieve the purpose of the implementation plan;

opportunity for comments; and 
‘(v) the metropolitan planning organization 
finds that adequate funding is included in the 
transportation improvement program to ensure
279
HR 3 IH1S 
timely implementation of the substitute control 
measures. 
‘(B) After the requirements of subparagraph 
(A) are met, a State may adopt the substitute meas-
ures in the applicable implementation plan within a 
reasonable period of time. 
‘(C) The substitution of a transportation con-
trol measure in accordance with this paragraph shall 
not be contingent on the existence of any provision 
in the applicable implementation plan that expressly 
permits such substitution. 
‘(D) The substitution of a transportation con-
trol measure in accordance with this paragraph shall 
not require—
‘(i) a new conformity determination for the 
transportation plan, or 
‘(ii) a revision of the applicable implemen-
tation plan. 
‘(E) A control measure that is being replaced 
by a substitute control measure under this para-
graph shall remain in effect until the substitute con-
trol measure is adopted. 
‘(F) Adoption of a substitute control measure 
shall constitute rescission of the previously applica-
ble control measure.
280
HR 3 IH1S 
Transportation control measures may be added to an im-
plementation plan subject to subparagraphs (B), (C), and 
(D), on the same basis as if such measures were substitute 
transportation control measures if such measures do not 
increase emissions for which limitations have been estab-
lished in an implementation plan, and such measures meet 
the requirements of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) of sub-
paragraph (A).’. 
(e) LAPSE OF CONFORMITY.—Subsection (c) of sec-

provement program under section 5213(h) of title 49 
of the United States Code is not made by the appli-
cable deadline and such failure is not corrected by 
additional measures to either reduce motor vehicle 
emissions sufficient to demonstrate compliance with 
the requirements of this subsection within 12 
months after such deadline or other measures suffi-
cient to correct such failures, the transportation 
plan shall lapse.
281
HR 3 IH1S 
‘(10) LAPSE.—The term ‘‘lapse’’ means that 
the conformity determination for a transportation
