PART 55, AIR POLLUTION CONTROL, NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION ACT, 1994 PA 451, AS AMENDED. The Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality intends to formally adopt proposed revisions to the air pollution control rules Part 18,
Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality (R 336. 2801, R 336. 2816, and R 336. 2830),
and Part 19, New Source Review for Major Sources Impacting Nonattainment Areas (R 336. 2901

NE, and 2010-005 SR). The revisions are being proposed to address a deficiency in our Prevention
of Significant Deterioration and nonattainment New Source Review permitting rules by adding the
new significance threshold for particulate matter less than 2. 5 microns in size and to rescind an
administrative appeal mechanism that conflicts with statutory provisions. Additionally, we are
proposing to revise our Prevention of Significant Deterioration rules to match the federal
requirements for Class I areas. The proposed rules can be viewed at http://www. deq. state. mi.
us/apcrats/2007-026EQ. htm. Copies of the proposed rules may also be obtained by contacting the
