A. A new TIP must be found to conform before the TIP is approved by the MPO (or NMDOT in the absence of an MPO) or accepted by the US DOT.
B. A TIP amendment requires a new conformity determination for the entire TIP before the amendment is approved by the MPO (or NMDOT in the absence of an MPO) or accepted by the US DOT, unless the amendment merely adds or deletes exempt projects listed in 20.2.99.149 NMAC and has been made in accordance with the notification provisions of 20.2.99.122 NMAC.
C. The MPO and US DOT shall determine the conformity of the TIP (including a new regional emissions analysis) no less frequently than every four (4) years. If more than four (4) years elapse after US DOT's conformity determination without the MPO and US DOT determining conformity on the TIP, a twelve (12) month grace period will be implemented as described in Subsection B of 20.2.99.111 NMAC. At the end of this twelve (12) month grace period, the existing conformity determination will lapse.
