CMAQ BackgroundCMAQ Background Created by ISTEA of ’91, reauthorized
by TEA-21, expected to continue
Funds transportation projects and programs to help achieve and maintain NAAQS for Ozone, CO, and PM-10
Jointly administered by FHWA and FTA in consultation with EPA

CMAQ OverviewCMAQ Overview
$14.1 billion program under ISTEA and TEA-21 Apportioned to States based on:
Population in ozone and CO areas Severity of the air quality problemAll States guaranteed a 0.5% minimum
apportionment More than $13 Billion invested in 15,000 AQ
projects since 1992

Underlying Principle of CMAQ $$:Funding should be proportional to AQ
problem The CMAQ formula is statutory (see 23
USC 104)New areas designated, but not covered by
current statute (Title 23) SAFETEA addresses 8-hr ozone, PM2.5

Current: short-term reauthorizations and continuing resolutions

take precedenceNo 1-hr areas removed from CMAQ

FY2006-2009 1-hr ozone std. revoked (expected June
2005)1-hr areas will be removed from formula8-hr areas will remain in the formula
PM2.5 areas designated (expected December 2004) Include in FY06 apportionments

If SAFETEA passes in If SAFETEA passes in FY05FY05
Initial FY05 apportionments will be made according to TEA-21 formulaLeave out 8-hr; PM2.5
Final FY05 apportionments will be redone once SAFETEA is signed to include 8-hr areas

Wild card??Wild card??
Congress could pass something different Impossible to guess
OR
Congress could fail to adopt new NAAQS provisionsFY05: 8-hr not included (formula based on 1-hr
and CO areas)FY06: 8-hr, PM2.5 not included (formula based on
CO only!)

Even if No Bill is Passed…Even if No Bill is Passed…
New areas can spend CMAQ funds once they have been designated
However, States will not be apportioned funds for 8-hr / PM2.5 areas without new legislation

Early Action CompactsEarly Action Compacts
No statutory basis for including EACs in apportionments—nonattainment is deferred
No draft bill brings EACs into the formula
Exception is EACs that are 1-hour ozone maintenance—they remain in the formula
