Five-Year Rule Review of Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-79

 

Notice is hereby given that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Air Pollution Control (DAPC) has performed a review of the above referenced rules primarily to satisfy the requirements of Section 119.032 of the Ohio Revised Code (five-year review). These rules are related to the small business technical assistance program. Our preliminary review indicates that these rules continue to be necessary and that two rules in this chapter require minor amendment.

 

The following rules require amendment: 3745-79-01 and 3745-79-03. The changes are minor, primarily to clarify information on items referenced in the chapter and to correct typos and formatting issues.

 

Our preliminary review also indicates OAC rule 3745-79-02 continues to be necessary and is without need for change.

 

Pursuant to Section 121.39 of the Ohio Revised Code, DAPC was required to consult with interested parties affected by the rules before the Division formally adopts them. On September 14, 2011, these rules went out for a 30-day review by interested parties. No comments were received on the draft rule language.

 

Pursuant to Section 119.03 of the Ohio Revised Code, a public hearing on these rule changes will be conducted on Monday, January 9, 2012 at 1:30 PM at Ohio EPA, Lazarus Government Center, 50 W.

Pursuant to Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act, Ohio EPA is required to establish a state implementation plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The above-mentioned rules are a part of Ohio=s SIP and the proposed amendments will be submitted to USEPA as a modification of the SIP. The above-mentioned hearing shall be considered the public hearing for the SIP submittal.

 

All interested persons are entitled to attend or be represented at the hearing and give written or oral comments on these rule changes. All oral comments presented at the hearing, and all written statements submitted at the hearing or by the close of business on Monday, January 9, 2012, will be considered by Ohio EPA prior to final action on this rule.
