Title: Decision To Allow States Up to 3 Years To Revise Implementation Plans for PM2.5; Proposal To Revise the Interpollutant Trading Pollcy for PM2.5 Offsets 
Abstract: This action completes the proceeding for reconsidering the challenged provisions by addressing the two remaining issues associated with the petition for reconsideration. EPA received and granted a petition from the National Resource Defense Council and Sierra Club for reconsideration of these four provisions. This action completes the Agency’s proceedings for reconsideration by addressing the first and fourth issues. Issues 2 and 3 have been addressed in earlier rulemakings. On May 16, 2008, EPA amended its Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) rules to include new requirements for Particulate Matter (PM)2.5. Among other things, the final rule (1) allowed States with State Implementation Plan-approved PSD programs up to 3 years to revise and submit the new PM2.5 requirements to EPA for approval, and to continue using EPA’s 1997 PM10 Surrogate Policy until such revisions are approved by EPA; (2) allowed permit applicants to exclude, until January 1, 2010, any amounts of condensable particulate matter from the calculation of the proposed source’s potential to emit for applicability purposes; and (3) allowed sources in PM2.5 nonattainment areas to use emissions from precursors of PM2.5 as offsets for significant increases of PM2.5 emissions, using ratios developed by EPA or ratios developed and demonstrated by the State.
