## Abstract

EPA is disapproving a narrow portion of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of West Virginia on August 31, 2011. EPA is taking this final action because the submittal does not satisfy the Federal requirement for inclusion of condensable emissions of particulate matter (condensables) within the definition of "regulated new source review (NSR) pollutant" for fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) and particulate matter emissions less than or equal to ten micrometers in diameter (PM<INF>10</INF>). In addition, because West Virginia's August 31, 2011 SIP revision does not adequately account for condensable emissions within the definition of "regulated NSR pollutant," EPA is also disapproving specific Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) portions of related infrastructure SIP submissions required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) to implement, maintain, and enforce the 1997 fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) and ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS, and the 2008 lead and ozone NAAQS. This action is being taken under the CAA.
