Max and Robbye,

I know we all look forward to wrapping up the four LRAPA rulemakings J Let’s talk next week about the templates and schedule. Attached are the two templates that we now use for rulemaking public notice: Invitation to Comment and Notice. The content is the same as what we used for previous rulemakings, but we revised the layout and consolidated forms.

We’d propose three packages: open burning, PM2.5/GHG; and permit streamlining. Below is the schedule that will allow us to propose each rule package for adoption at the December 2013 EQC meeting. We must open the public comment period 9/13/2013 to go to EQC in December.

Schedule:

Now through 7/31: LRAPA drafts rule package using attached templates. During that time, keep constant dialogue with DEQ (Andrea) to discuss the templates, answer questions and help ensure the fiscal analysis will be approved by DEQ’s budget manager.

7/31 LRAPA provides DEQ and EPA the draft of each rule package for review

8/6 DEQ and EPA provide LRAPA with feedback

8/12 LRAPA provides DEQ and EPA updated rule package that addresses feedback

8/14 If new or revised fees are involved, this is the deadline to submit fee request to DAS – let’s talk about any rules with new fees

8/15 DEQ submits package to Division Administrator (Andy G) for review and approval

8/23 Division Administrator review is due

8/23 – 9/6 DEQ and LRAPA address feedback from Division Administrator and obtain final approval to publish package

8/30 DEQ submits final package to EPA

9/13 DEQ submits approved package to Secretary of State; issues notice to interested parties and stakeholders. Comment period begins.
