Title: ●Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers: Amendment to the Definition "Regulated NSR Pollutant" Concerning Condensable Particulate Matter 
Abstract: This final rule will amend the definition of "regulated NSR pollutant" in the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations for SIP-approved programs and the Federal PSD program, and the New Source Review (NSR) regulation called the Emission Offset Interpretative Rule. This amendment will correct an inadvertent error that required the inclusion of the condensable PM fraction for "particulate matter emissions" under the PSD regulations and the Emission Offset Interpretive Rule. States that did not require the inclusion of the condensable PM fraction in the measurement of "particulate matter emissions" prior to the 2008 final rule will not be required to add such a new requirement. However, States have the authority to require a more stringent test method (e.g., the inclusion of the condensable PM fraction) if they choose to do so through their State Implementation Plans.
