(11/23/05) E.P.A. is extending until Jan. 31, 2006 the public review period on the agency's suggested rule outlining steps that state, local and tribal governments must take to reduce fine particle pollution (PM2.5) in areas that do not meet EPA's health-based air quality standards.
The suggested rule, known as the PM2.5 Implementation Rule, describes the planning framework and requirements for state, local and tribal governments to consider when developing their projects to reduce air pollution to meet the PM2.5 standards. Areas meeting the standard must show how they will ensure that PM2.5 levels remain below the standards.
E.P.A. will hold a public hearing on the suggested rule from nine a.m. to five p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 30, at the Capitol Hilton, 1001 16th Saint N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
