21				Ideal - What do we envision?
22				Short	Addressing changes to federal air quality regulations.
23				Long	The goal of this rulemaking is to addess the following problems that relate to changes in federal air quality regulations: changes to existing federal regulations; and adoption of new federal regulations.
24				Reality - What are we trying to change?
25				Short	In the short term there will be additional work to implement the changes. There are ongoing discussions on how to minimize the impacts on staff.
26				Long	The adoption of new federal standards would require the permitting of hundreds of boilers and stationary internal combustion engines.
27				Consequences - What will happen if we do nothing?
28				Short	The emissions reductions and fuel savings that would result from the implementation of the new federal standards would likely not happen.
29				Long	EPA is not in a position to implement the new federal regulations for boilers, solid waste incinerators, and stationary internal combustion engines. It is estimated that these regulations will reduce hazardous air pollutant emissions by over 18 million pounds per year and fuel usage by over 86 trillion Btus per year nationally. If DEQ does not implement the new federal regulations, it is unlikely that emission reductions and fuel savings will happen in Oregon.
30				Alternatives to rulemaking already considered or to explore
31				Short	Leave implementation of the new federal standards for non-Title V sources to EPA.
32				Long
33				Research or data needed to develop proposal
34				Short	Outreach to potential owner or operators of boilers and stationary internal combustion engines to better define the scope of the sources affected.
35				Long	The AQ Regional Management Team does not want to implement the federal stationary internal combustion engine standards until they know how many engines there are in the Oregon and that we have developed a comprehensive implementation plan.

The Legislative Assembly encourages agencies to seek public input to the maximum extent possible before giving notice of intent to adopt a rule. The agency may appoint an advisory committee that will represent the interests of persons likely to be affected by the rule, or use any other means of obtaining public views that will assist the agency in drafting the rule."

Many of the hazardous air pollutants are also of particular concern in Oregon. For instance, boilers, solid waste incinerators, and stationary internal combustion engines emit mercury, which can impair neurological development and cause neurological damage, and is a toxic of concern in Oregon.

33				The progressive physical degradation and destruction of nature and natural processes (for example, over harvesting forests and paving over critical wildlife habitat)
