73. AMENDMENTS TO MARICOPA COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REGULATIONS RULES 321, 360, 370, 371 AND APPENDIX G Pursuant to A.R.S. §49-479(b), set a public hearing for July 25, 2012 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of proposed amendments to Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 321: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills; Rule 360: New Source Performance Standards; Rule 370: Federal Hazardous Air Pollutants Program; Rule 371: Acid Rain; and Appendix G: Incorporated Materials. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective July 25, 2012. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is proposing to revise 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 Material by incorporating by reference federal regulations and documents promulgated by the EPA and published in the Federal Register: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Acid Rain and other parts of Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations. These revisions should not have an economic impact on businesses in Maricopa County and should not impose additional costs on the regulated community, small businesses, political subdivisions, and members of the public beyond that already incurred by reason of federal or state rule or law. The costs of compliance with these rules have already occurred and were considered when the federal and state rule or law was proposed and adopted. (C-85-12-022-7-00)
