A. The transportation plan, TIP and project not from a conforming transportation plan and TIP shall satisfy the interim emissions test(s) as described in Subsections C through G of 20.11.3.109 NMAC. This criterion applies to the net effect of the action (transportation plan, TIP or project not from a conforming transportation plan and TIP) on motor vehicle emissions from the entire transportation system.

B. Ozone areas: The requirements of Subsection B of 20.11.3.119 NMAC apply to all ozone NAAQS areas, except for certain requirements as indicated. This criterion may be met:

(1) in moderate and above ozone nonattainment areas that are subject to the reasonable further progress requirements of CAA Section 182(b)(1) if a regional emissions analysis that satisfies the requirements of 20.11.3.122 NMAC and Subsections G through J of 20.11.3.119 NMAC demonstrates that for each analysis year and for each of the pollutants described in Subsection F of 20.11.3.119 NMAC (a) the emissions predicted in the "action" scenario are less than the emissions predicted in the "baseline" scenario, and this can be reasonably expected to be true in the periods between the analysis years; and (b) the emissions predicted in the "action" scenario are lower than emissions in the baseline year for that NAAQS as described in Subsection E of 20.11.3.119 NMAC by any nonzero amount;

(2) in marginal and below ozone nonattainment areas and other ozone nonattainment areas that are not subject to the reasonable further progress requirements of CAA Section 182(b)(1) if a regional emissions analysis that satisfies the requirements of 20.11.3.122 NMAC and Subsections G through J of 20.11.3.119 NMAC demonstrates that for each analysis year and for each of the pollutants described in Subsection F of 20.11.3.119 NMAC (a) the emissions predicted in the "action" scenario are not greater than the emissions predicted in the "baseline" scenario, and this can be reasonably expected to be true in the periods between the analysis years; or (b) the emissions predicted in the "action" scenario are not greater than emissions in the baseline year for that NAAQS as described in Subsection E of 20.11.3.119 NMAC.

C. CO areas: This criterion may be met:

(1) in moderate areas with design value greater than 12.7 ppm and serious CO nonattainment areas that are subject to CAA Section 187(a)(7) if a regional emissions analysis that satisfies the requirements of 20.11.3.122 NMAC and Subsections G through J of 20.11.3.119 NMAC demonstrates that for each analysis year and for each of the pollutants described in Subsection F of 20.11.3.119 NMAC: (a) the emissions predicted in the "action" scenario are less than the emissions predicted in the "baseline" scenario, and this can be reasonably expected to be true in the periods between the analysis years; and (b) the emissions predicted in the "action" scenario are lower than emissions in the baseline year for that NAAQS as described in Subsection E of 20.11.3.119 NMAC by any nonzero amount;

(2) in moderate areas with design value less than 12.7 ppm and not classified CO nonattainment areas if a regional emissions analysis that satisfies the requirements of 20.11.3.122 NMAC and Subsections G through J of 20.11.3.119 NMAC demonstrates that for each analysis year and for each of the pollutants described in Subsection F of 20.11.3.119...
