Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Aggregation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Reconsideration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 30, 2009, the Natural Resources Defense Council
(``NRDC'') submitted a petition for reconsideration (the ``NRDC
Petition'') of the rule addressing ``aggregation'' under the Prevention
of Significant Deterioration and the Nonattainment New Source Review
programs (collectively, ``NSR'') published in the Federal Register on
January 15, 2009. This rule (the ``NSR Aggregation Amendments'')
described when a source must combine (``aggregate'') nominally-separate
physical changes and changes in the method of operation for the purpose
of determining whether they are a single change under NSR and result in
a significant emissions increase.
In response to the NRDC Petition, having found that the petitioner
has raised objections to the rule that arose after the comment period
and that are of central relevance to the rule, the EPA is convening a
proceeding for reconsideration as provided for under the Clean Air Act
section 307(d)(7)(B). In the near future, EPA will publish a notice in
the Federal Register establishing a comment period and a hearing date
for this proceeding.

DATES: On February 13, 2009, the EPA hereby convenes a proceeding for
reconsideration of the NSR Aggregation Amendments published at 74 FR
2376 (January 15, 2009).

ADDRESSES: Docket: The final rule, the petition for reconsideration,
and all other documents in the record for the rulemaking are in Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0064. All documents in the docket are listed in
the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only
in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the Air

SUMMARY: This document seeks public comment on a proposal to delay for
104 days the effective date of the interim rule, for Rural Development
Guaranteed Loans, which was published on December 17, 2008. The interim

and Rural Energy for America Program, formerly known as Renewable
Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvement Projects. The

date of the interim rule to June 1, 2009. In order to allow sufficient
time for public comment on the Agency's proposal to further extend the
effective date until June 1, 2009, this document extends the current
effective date from February 17, 2009, to March 9, 2009, pursuant to
the ``good cause'' clause under the Administrative Procedures Act (5

DATES: The effective date of the interim rule, which was published on
December 17, 2008 [73 FR 76698], delayed until February 17, 2009 [74 FR
