Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for
Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5 ); Final
Rule To Stay the Grandfathering Provision for PM2.5
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this final action, EPA is issuing a stay, for nine months,
on the ``grandfathering'' provision for particulate matter less than
2.5 micrometers (PM2.5 ) requirements in the Federal
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. The
grandfathering provision was added to the Federal PSD regulations on
May 16, 2008, as part of the final rule titled, ``Implementation of the
New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5
Micrometers (PM2.5 ).'' This stay follows an administrative
stay, which was in effect from June 1, 2009, until September 1, 2009,
on the same provision. We believe this additional stay will provide
sufficient time for EPA to propose, take public comment on, and issue a
final action concerning the repeal of the grandfathering provision for
PM2.5 in the Federal PSD program.
DATES: Effective September 22, 2009, 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(xi) is stayed
for a period of nine months, until June 22, 2010.
