WSR 16-10-044 PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY SOUTHWEST CLEAN AIR AGENCY [Filed April 28, 2016, 4:58 p.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: SWCAA 400 General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources - all sections.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: This rule is being changed to correct minor typographical errors, update program definitions, amend statutory emission standards, incorporate revisions made in associated state/federal regulations, and update adoption by reference of federal regulations.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: SWCAA 400 is substantially similar to chapter 173-400 WAC as administered by the department of ecology. The proposed rule changes incorporate recent changes in the state rule as well as incorporating by reference updated federal regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The anticipated rule changes do not differ substantially from the associated state and federal regulations.
Process for Developing New Rule: The proposed rule revisions are being developed through internal agency review.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Wess Safford, 11815 N.E. 99th Street, Suite 1294, Vancovuer [Vancouver], WA 98682, phone (360) 574-3058 ext. 126, e-mail wess@swcleanair.org.
