52. AQ-2022-001-INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE - RULE 360 (NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS), RULE 370 (FEDERAL HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT PROGRAM), RULE 371 (ACID RAIN), AND APPENDIX G (INCORPORATED MATERIALS) Set a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), for December 7, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. to solicit comments on 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 proposed incorporations into the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations. 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, 2022, 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 Maricopa County Air Quality Department’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. Permit fees are not changing due to this action. (C-85-23-016-X-00)
