Notwithstanding the other requirements of 20.11.3 NMAC, highway and transit projects of the types listed in Table 3 of 20.11.3.127 NMAC are exempt from regional emissions analysis requirements. The local effects of these projects with respect to CO, PM2.5 or PM10 concentrations shall be considered to determine if a hot-spot analysis is required prior to making a project-level conformity determination. These projects may then proceed to the project development process even in the absence of a conforming transportation plan and TIP. A particular action of the type listed in Table 3 of 20.11.3.127 NMAC is not exempt from regional emissions analysis if the MPO in consultation with other agencies (see Subparagraph (c) Paragraph (1) of Subsection D of 20CONSULTATION20.11.3.105 NMAC), the EPA and the FHWA (in the case of a highway project) or the FTA (in the case of a transit project) concur that it has potential regional impacts for any reason.
