        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing regulations under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program to establish new increments, significant impact levels (SILs) and a significant monitoring concentration (SMC) for fine particulate matter (particles with an aerometric diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers, PM2.5). These regulations are consistent with section 166 of the Clean Air Act which authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to establish regulations to prevent significant deterioration of air quality due to emissions of any pollutant for which National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) have been promulgated. The NAAQS for PM2.5 were promulgated in 1997. 

To help facilitate the states implementation of the preconstruction review permit process, this action will also establish screening tools (SILs and SMC) to determine when sources must complete analyses to satisfy specific requirements associated with the evaluation of PM2.5 impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>
