46. SET PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED REVISIONS TO AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REGULATIONS RULES 317, 321, 360, 370, 371 AND APPENDIX G Set a public hearing, as required by A.R.S. §49-479(b), for July 7, 2010 , at 9:00 a.m. to solicit comments on proposed revisions to the following Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations: Rule 317 – Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators, Rule 321 – Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, Rule 360 – New Source Performance Standards, Rule 370 – Federal Hazardous Air Pollutant Program, Rule 371 – Acid Rain, and Appendix G - Incorporated Materials. Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt proposed revisions to Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations Rules 317, 321, 360, 370, 371, and Appendix G. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (department) is proposing to incorporate by reference various federal regulations and documents promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and published in the Federal Register, including actions related to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Acid Rain and other parts of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These rules implement federal requirements according to each federal program identified or applicable source type subject to these regulations. The proposed action will include amending the incorporation by reference date from “2008” to “2009” in each of the rules to remain current with federal regulations. This incorporation by reference is necessary before requesting the EPA’s delegation of authority to Maricopa County for the implementation and enforcement of the federal rules documented in the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations Rules 317, 321, 360, 370, 371, and Appendix G. In addition, the proposed amendments will also correct typographical or other clerical errors; make minor grammatical changes to improve readability or clarity; modify the format, numbering, order, capitalization, punctuation, or syntax of certain text to increase standardization within and among rules; or make various other minor changes of a purely editorial nature. As these changes do not alter the sense, meaning, or effect of the rule, they are not described in detail here, but can be readily discerned in the “strikeout and underline” version of the rule contained in Item 14 of the notice of expedited rulemaking.
