proposed rule to approve changes to the Oregon State Implementation

particulate matter, update the major and minor source pre-construction 
permitting programs, and add state level air quality designations. The 
changes also address public notice procedures for informational 
meetings, and tighten emission standards for dust and smoke. A 
commenter requested more time to review the proposal and prepare 
comments. In response to this request, the EPA is reopening the public 
comment period.
