This rule adopts the 2012 annual primary PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) into state administrative code. The Department does not anticipate that this rule will have any economic impact on small businesses. All areas of the state are attaining the new standard. The new standards do not result in any new regulatory requirements for stationary sources.
