PROPOSAL:
SYNOPSIS:
COMMITTEE:
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Barry R. Wallerstein, D.Env. Background AQMD is subject to several internal and external reviews of its air quality programs. These include an annual review of AQMD’s proposed operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year and compliance program audits. In 1990, the Legislature directed AQMD to provide an annual review of its regulatory activities (SB 1928, Presley), and specified the type of information required (Health and Safety Code §40452). Many of the required elements overlap with other requirements of separate legislation. For example, information on AQMD’s Clean Fuels Program is a requirement of this report, but is now also a separate requirement under legislation passed in 1999 (SB 98, Alarcón). The purpose of this report is to fill in pieces of additional data needed to compile a comprehensive regulatory overview. Most of the information included in this report is not new, but simply a compilation of information previously seen by the Board. For example, Chapter I lists all the rules and rule amendments adopted by the Board during 2008. The Annual RECLAIM Audit Report is required to be submitted to the Legislature by RECLAIM Rule 2015: Backstop Provisions. The specific requirements of this report include:
