Executive Officer
The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update of AQMDs rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Scheduling changes which occurred since last months forecast are summarized. The current schedule reflects the staffs court filing for the lawsuit brought by environmental groups relative to the 1994 Air Quality Management Plan. However, the rulemaking schedule contained herein is subject to change based on the outcome of the litigation. Some measures may need to be delayed to allow room to incorporate additional measures that may be ordered to be implemented by the court in the SIP litigation case.
Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed and Additions
|
Rule 1110.2 - Emissions from Gaseous- and Liquid-Fueled Internal Combustion Engines |
|
Proposed amendments to Rule 1110.2 are being moved from February 2000 to August 2000. Staff has not yet received a response from EPA on AQMD comments on their proposed SIP actions. The proposed amendments need to be coordinated with EPA SIP requirements and have adequate time for public comment on rule development. |
|
Rule 1610 Old-Vehicle Scrapping |
|
Rule amendments to Rule 1610 are necessary to conform with ARB'S statewide vehicle scrapping rule, which is expected to be finalized in December, 1999 at the earliest. Since these amendments may result in significant modifications to rule requirements, Rule 1610 is being moved from March 2000 to June 2000 to allow additional staff time which is needed to analyze these potential modifications and obtain public input. |
