66. AQ-2019-001-INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 2018-2019 Pursuant to A.R.S. §49-479(b), set a public hearing for October 23, 2019 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of incorporating federal standards into Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations: 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 the incorporations into the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective October 23, 2019. The Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations contain several rules, Rules 360, 370, 371 and Appendix G, which incorporate by reference federal regulations from Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These federal regulations include New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and Acid Rain regulations. Every July 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) codifies revisions made to these federal regulations during the preceding year. The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate by reference the applicable federal regulations as codified on July 1, 2019, and thereby update Rules 360, 370, 371, and Appendix G with any revisions made to the corresponding federal rules during the preceding year. This is necessary in order to continue to comply with the MCAQD’s delegated authority from EPA to implement and enforce NSPS, NESHAP, and acid rain programs in Maricopa County, except for those specific authorities retained by the EPA. After the rules are adopted by the Board of Supervisors, the MCAQD will request delegation authority from the EPA to implement and enforce the federal standards. These amendments 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. Permit fees are not changing due to this action. (C-85-20-004-M-00)
