providing notice that through a letter signed on April 24, 2009, EPA
has granted a petition for reconsideration dated February 10, 2009,
submitted by Earthjustice on behalf of the National Resources Defense

titled, ``Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for
Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5 ),''
published on May 16, 2008. In addition, EPA has administratively stayed
one of the provisions to which the petitioners objected--a
``grandfathering'' provision for PM2.5 contained in the
federal prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) program. The EPA

comment period and opportunity for a public hearing for the
reconsideration proceeding.
The petition for reconsideration and request for administrative
stay can be found in the docket for the May 16, 2008 rule. The EPA
