{"abstract":"In this action, in response to a petition for reconsideration, EPA is proposing two actions that would end EPA's 1997 policy that allows sources and permitting authorities to use a demonstration of compliance with the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) requirements for particulate matter less than 10 micrometers (PM<INF>10</INF>) as a surrogate for meeting the PSD requirements for particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM<INF>2.5</INF>). First, in accordance with the Administrator's commitment to the petitioners in a letter dated April 24, 2009, the EPA is proposing to repeal the \"grandfathering\" provision for PM<INF>2.5</INF> contained in the Federal PSD program. Second, EPA is proposing to end early the PM<INF>10</INF> Surrogate Policy applicable in States that have an approved PSD program in their State Implementation Plan (\"SIP-approved States\").","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/02/11/2010-2983.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":52,"title":40}],"citation":"75 FR 6827","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2010-03-15","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments.
