Final Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule Briefing for NTAA EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards April 17, 2007

2 Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule Rule signed March 29, 2007 – primary contact: Rich Damberg, Outlines requirements for state plans to clean the air in 39 areas of the country where particle pollution levels do not meet national air quality standards Under the Clean Air Act, states must develop plans by April 2008 for meeting the 1997 air quality standards for fine particles, or PM2.5. The Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule includes detailed guidance that interprets the Clean Air Act's requirements for these plans Section 301(d) allow tribes to implement the CAA in Indian country, where tribes in Nonattainment areas do not or can not develop TIPs, EPA will implement the program The Tribal Authority Rule identifies holding tribes to the schedules and timeframes of the CAA as one of the areas where we won’t “treat Tribes in a manner similar to States” Rule and fact sheet can be found at: PM2.5 Implementation Rule and 2006 PM2.5 Designation Workshop –June 20-21, 2007 Chicago Region 5 –Majority of 2 days will be spent on the PM implementation rule and 3 hours on 2006 PM2.5 designation guidance – website to go live soon: –Contact Tom Link – or me Barbara Driscoll

3 Timeline for PM2.5 NAAQS Implementation April areas designated for 1997 standards Dec revised PM NAAQS Dec. 2007Required States/Tribes encouraged recommend designations for 2006 revised PM2.5 standards April 2008PM2.5 State/Tribes plans due for 1997 standards Final designations for 2006 PM2.5 standards (effective date days later; ) Apr Attainment date for areas designated in 2005 for 1997 standards April PM2.5 State plans due for 2006 standards April Attainment date for areas designated in

4 Currently Designated PM 2.5 Nonattainment Areas Standards Violated annual and/or 24-hour PM 2.5 standards with designated data ( *) Legend Nonattainment areas violating:Number of Areas  both annual (15 µg/m 3 ) and 24-hour (65 µg/m 3 ) standards 2  ONLY the 24-hour standard (65 µg/m 3 ) 0  ONLY the annual standard (15 µg/m 3 ) 37 Total PM 2.5 Nonattainment Areas 39 * data were considered in the designation process but all nonattainment designations were based on data

5 Pollutants to Address in Attainment Plans Direct PM2.5 and SO2: must be evaluated for control measures in each area NOx: Sources of NOx must be evaluated for control measures in each area, unless the State and EPA provide a technical demonstration showing that NOx emissions from sources in the State do not significantly contribute to PM2.5 concentrations in a specific area VOC: Sources of VOC are not required to be evaluated for control measures in each area, unless the State or EPA provide a technical demonstration showing that VOC emissions from sources in the State significantly contribute to PM2.5 concentrations in a specific area Ammonia: Sources of ammonia are not required to be evaluated for control measures in each area, unless the State or EPA provide a technical demonstration showing that ammonia emissions from sources in the State significantly contribute to PM2.5 concentrations in a specific area Rule provides basic guidance on potential analyses for technical demonstration

6 State Implementation Plan (SIP) Due Dates and Attainment Dates SIP revisions are due April 2008 Attainment date is no later than five years from date of designation (e.g. Apr. 2010) Areas evaluated based on most recent 3 years of monitoring data (e.g for April 2010 attainment date) No classification system

7 Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) / Reasonably Available Control Measures (RACM) For nonattainment areas, States need to adopt all reasonably available control measures (including RACT) needed to attain the standards as expeditiously as practicable and meet Reasonable Further Progress requirements Guidance in rule –Identify technically and economically feasible measures –Conduct air quality modeling –Select RACT/RACM Area-specific flexibility Preamble includes list of specific measures that States should consider as a starting point for RACT/RACM assessment

8 Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) RFP: annual incremental reductions in emissions for purpose of ensuring timely attainment RFP plan due with attainment demonstration in 2008 Mid-course review in 2011 for area with 2014 or 2015 attainment date Adopt new strategies as necessary

9 Contingency Measures Elements States will be doing you may need to weigh in on To be implemented without further action if area fails to attain by its attainment date or fails to meet RFP requirements. Need to be measures other than those required for attainment or to meet RFP Level of reductions: one year’s worth of reductions needed for attainment in the area

10 Other Issues Improved source monitoring Transportation conformity General conformity Emission inventories Enforcement and compliance NSR addressed in a separate rulemaking (late 2007)
