    FY12 Priority County and Area List Office of Transportation and Air Quality Revised June 7, 2012 Please refer to the DERA Request for Proposals, Appendix D, for additional information The DERA program places a priority on projects that are located in areas that have the highest emissions from diesel engines. The term “project location,” as used in the FY 2012 National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program RFP, refers to the primary area where the affected vehicles/engines operate, or the primary area where the emissions benefits of the project will be realized. Please note that applicants may apply for projects that are not located in priority areas. These counties and areas were selected as priority areas for the DERA program based on data from a number of sources. The sources include counties and areas: Designated as PM2.5 or 8-Hr Ozone Nonattainment Areas or 8-Hr Ozone Maintenance Areas. Data is sourced from EPA’s Green Book of Nonattainment Areas for Criteria Pollutants.
