Title: ●Implementation of the New Source Review Program for Particulate Matter (PM) Less Than 2.5 Micrometers-–Ending of NSR Transition Period for Condensable PM 
Abstract: EPA is revising its major New Source Review (NSR) regulations to replace the originally announced date for ending the NSR transition period for condensable particulate matter (CPM) with an earlier closing date. The final action under this requested new action will respond to comments and announce that we are revising the NSR rules to enact a new date to shorten the NSR transition period. Our intent is to issue a separate Federal Register notice to announce this final rule apart from the final rule for test methods, but in the same Federal Register. In its May 16, 2008, final rule for PM2.5 NSR implementation, EPA announced the commencement of a transition period for purposes of NSR ("NSR transition period") permitting during which time we would not require the condensable fraction for particulate matter to be considered for applicability or compliance purposes under the major NSR program. The NSR transition period was scheduled to remain in effect from July 15, 2008, until January 1, 2011, or an earlier date depending on EPA's final action to revise the test methods for measuring stack concentrations of CPM.
