LAC 33:III.1409. Frequency of Conformity Determinations

A. The conformity status of a federal action automatically lapses five years from the date its final conformity determination is reported under LAC 33:III.1407, unless the federal action has been completed or a continuous program has been commenced to implement that federal action within a reasonable time. B. Ongoing federal activities at a given site showing continuous progress are not new actions and do not require periodic redetermination so long as the emissions associated with such activities are within the scope of the final conformity determination reported under LAC 33:III.1407. C. A new conformity determination is required if, after the conformity determination is made, the federal action is changed so that there is an increase in the total of direct and indirect emissions and the new net emissions are above the levels in LAC 33:III.1405.B.
