Subject: Civil Penalty Increase - SIP change?b Importance: Normal

Justin,

We’re performing an additional rulemaking that might be part of the SIP under part 1.L. on the attachment. The rulemaking would increase the dollar amount of civil penalties. It affects chapter 340 division 12. It’s being performed by DEQ’s Enforcement program, not the Air Quality program.

Is an increase in penalty amounts considered a change to the SIP? If yes, how can we get an EPA project manager assigned to work with the rulewriter and me? DEQ’s Enforcement program wants to begin DEQ’s public notice for the rulemaking in mid June this year.

Thanks,

Andrea Curtis
