| 05-20455 | Proposed Rule To Implement the Fine Particle National Ambient Air Quality Standards | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule and preamble describe the requirements that States and Tribes must meet in their implementation plans for attainment of the fine particle (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The health effects associated with exposure to PM<INF>2.5</INF> are serious, including premature death, aggravation of heart and lung disease, and asthma attacks. Those particularly sensitive to PM<INF>2.5</INF> exposure include older adults, people with heart and lung disease, and children. The EPA designated areas not attaining the PM<INF>2.5</INF> standards on December 17, 2004. The PM designations notice was published in the Federal Register on January 5, 2005 (70 FR 944) and became effective on April 5, 2005. On this same date, the Administrator signed a supplemental notice making certain changes to the designations based on 2002-2004 air quality data. The supplemental notice was published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2005 (70 FR 19844). A total of 39 areas with a population of 90 million were designated as nonattainment. Within 3 years, each State having a nonattainment area must submit to EPA an attainment demonstration (and associated air quality modeling), adopted State regulations to reduce emissions of PM<INF>2.5</INF> and its precursors, and other supporting information demonstrating that the area will attain the standards as expeditiously as practicable. In order to address PM<INF>2.5</INF> problems, EPA believes that States should implement a balanced program to reduce emissions from regional sources [such as power plants emitting sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) and nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>)] and local sources (such as cars, trucks, industrial sources, and various other combustion or burning-related activities). States should take into account national, State, and local emission reduction programs that are already in place and projected to provide future air quality benefits. | 2005-11-01 | 2005 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/11/01/05-20455/proposed-rule-to-implement-the-fine-particle-national-ambient-air-quality-standards | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-11-01/pdf/05-20455.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This proposed rule and preamble describe the requirements that States and Tribes must meet in their implementation plans for attainment of the fine particle (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
