A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to local air agencies per RCW 70.94.141.

This rule proposal, or portions of the proposal, is exempt from requirements of the Regulatory Fairness Act because the proposal:

Is exempt under RCW 19.85.025(3) as the rules are adopting or incorporating by reference without material change federal statutes or regulations, Washington state statutes, rules of other Washington state agencies, shoreline master programs other than those programs governing shorelines of statewide significance, or, as referenced by Washington state law, national consensus codes that generally establish industry standards, if the material adopted or incorporated regulates the same subject matter and conduct as the adopting or incorporating rule.

Explanation of exemptions: Chapter 19.85 RCW applies to "rules adopted by state agencies." RCW 70.94.141(1) states: "An air pollution control authority shall not be deemed to be a state agency." ORCAA is an air pollution control authority.

Whenever federal regulations are referenced in ORCAA's rules, the effective date shall be July 1, ((2019))2020.
