PROPOSED RULES

[Filed January 21, 2015, 11:01 a.m.]

Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) regulations: Regulation 3, Rule 3.1 Annual Registration Fees, Rule 3.3 Notice of Construction Fees, Rule 3.4 Outdoor Burning Permit Fees, Rule 3.5 Asbestos Fees, the addition of Rule 3.6 Notice of Intent to Operate Fees, and changes to references within Rules 2.3, 6.1.1, 6.3.2.

Hearing Location(s): ORCAA, 2940 Limited Lane N.W., Olympia, WA 98502, on March 11, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.

Date of Intended Adoption: March 11, 2015.

Submit Written Comments to: Robert Moody, 2940 Limited Lane N.W., Olympia, WA 98502, e-mail robert.moody@orcaa.org, fax (360) 539-7610, by March 10, 2015.

Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Dan Nelson by February 25, 2015, (360) 539-7610.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: ORCAA is proposing to streamline the publishing of fees by removing these fee schedules from our regulation and publishing them as separate board-approved documents. It also provides direction to ORCAA's board of directors for periodic review of the fees. The publishing of fees will change for the following programs: Registration, notices of construction, outdoor burning permits, and asbestos. It will move the existing table of fees for Notices of Intent to its own rule and establish how those fees will be published. References to the existing rules will be revised in Rules 2.3, 6.1.1, and 6.3.2. There is a financial impact created by changes to Rule 3.3(c). The word "technical" is being removed which allows ORCAA to collect revenue for hours expended in direct support of processing a Notice of Construction application. The most common example would be for staff involved with a public hearing.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: Updating fee schedules will be accomplished with less staff time. The change in Rule 3.3(c) will allow a small increase in agency revenue in a program that is significantly underfunded.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 70.94 RCW.

Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 70.94 RCW.

Name of Proponent: ORCAA, governmental.

Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Robert Moody, 2940 Limited Lane N.W., Olympia, (360) 539-7610; Implementation and Enforcement: Fran McNair, 2940 Limited Lane N.W., Olympia, (360) 539-7610.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. This agency is not subject to the small business economic impact provision of the Administrative Procedure Act, and the agency is not a school district.

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.

Francea L. McNair

Executive Director

(a) The Agency shall charge Initial and Annual registration fees pursuant to RCW 70.94.151. Annual registration fees shall be assessed according to the annual fee schedules set forth in Rule 3.1(b) below. Initial registration fees shall be assessed upon initial registration of a source and shall equal the annual registration fee based on projected emissions and prorated for the remaining months in the fiscal year. Initial and Annual registration fees shall provide revenue to fund the Agency's ongoing Registration Program.

(b) All sources requiring registration shall be assessed an annual registration fee; the fees required by this rule shall be based on process rates, equipment specifications, and emissions data from the previous calendar year on file with the Agency, provided that, if this information is not on file with the Agency, the Agency may base the annual fee on the enforceable emissions limitations for the source and maximum capacities and production rates. For purposes of assessing annual registration fees, the Agency shall consider updates and revisions to any source's file received prior to July 1 of the current year. The fees shall be assessed according to items (1) and (2) of this rule. Sources assessed annual operating permit fees under Rule 3.2 shall not be assessed annual fees under this rule.

(1) An Emissions Fee ((of an amount)) as ((indicated)) specified in the Registration Fee Schedule ((Table 3.1a)) per ton of each air contaminant listed in Table 3.1((b)) that is emitted by the source. The emissions fee shall be based on actual emissions from the source, for the last calendar year when available, or as specified in the file or permit. Only non-VOC TAPs will be subject to the emission fee; and

(2) A Registration Class Fee ((of an amount)) as specified in the Registration Fee Schedule ((Table 3.1a)).

(c) The Agency shall ((assess)) send annual registration ((fees)) invoices out on or after August 1 of each year to cover the cost of administering the program for the current fiscal year commencing July 1 and ending June 30. The agency shall assess annual registration fees based on the most recent information on file with the Agency including any updates to the source's file received prior to July 1 of that year.

(d) Upon assessment by the Agency, annual registration fees are due and payable and shall be deemed delinquent if not fully paid within thirty (30) days. However, sources classified as RC1, RC2, or RC3 shall be given the option to pay their annual fee in quarterly installments. RC1, RC2, and RC3 sources may choose to pay their annual fees in quarterly installments by indicating so on the first invoice received and remitting payment of the first installment to the Agency along with the duplicate copy of the invoice. Quarterly installments shall be equal to 25% of the total annual registration fee and shall be due within 30 days of each quarter following initial assessment by the Agency.

(e) Any source which fails to pay, in full, their annual registration fee or annual registration installment by the due date, as stated on the invoice, shall be assessed a late penalty in the amount of 25% of their annual registration fee. This late penalty shall be in addition to the annual registration fee.

(f) Annual registration fees may be appealed according to the procedure specified in Rule 1.8.

(g) Failure to pay annual registration fees is a violation of these Regulations and will result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation and prescribed penalties.

(h) On a((n annual)) periodic basis, the Agency shall conduct a workload analysis to determine the adequacy of annual registration fees in funding the Agency's Registration Program. The workload analysis shall be based on the Agency's historical record of time and resource expenditures associated with the registration program. The workload analysis shall be presented to the Board ((at least every two years)) periodically. Any proposed revisions to the annual registration fee schedule shall be presented to the Board for adoption after public noticing pursuant to these Regulations public noticing requirements and opportunity for a public hearing.

(i) (((i))) All registered sources needing to be re-inspected, due to verified conditions or actions caused by the source, will be charged an additional amount as specified in the Registration Fee Schedule ((flat rate of $100.00 per re-inspection)).

Projected annual costs shall include all direct and indirect costs to administer the Agency's Operating Permit Program and shall be based on a workload analysis conducted by staff. Net annual cost projections including the workload analysis shall be included in the Agency's annual budget and approved by resolution of the Agency's Board of Directors in a public hearing.

(h) Allocation of Fees. The Annual Fee for a Title V source shall be calculated using the following three part fee allocation equation:

(i) Initial Fees. New Title V sources shall be assessed an Initial Fee after commencement of operation to cover the Agency's cost of administering the program for the new Title V source for the remainder of the current fiscal year. The Initial Fee for a new Title V source shall equal the Annual Fee based on Rule 3.2(h), which would otherwise be assessed if the Title V source commenced operation on or prior to the beginning of the current fiscal year, prorated by multiplying by the number of months remaining in the current fiscal year divided by 12.

(j) Fee Assessment and Payment Schedule.

This information shall be used by the Agency in determining the net annual cost projections required by Rule 3.2(f) above.
