Rulemaking initiated to update federal regulations incorporated by reference. This rulemaking also removes obsolete text and brings back definitions that were inadvertently struck during previous rulemaking with the intention of moving to other rule sections.
Status of Rulemaking
November 14, 2024 Board meeting: Presentation of rule package for adoption of pending rule.
Overview
The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure that the state rules remain consistent with federal regulations. The Rules for the Control of Air Pollution in Idaho, IDAPA 58.01.01, are updated annually to maintain consistency with federal regulations implementing the CAA. This proposed rule updates federal regulations incorporated by reference with the July 1, 2024 CFR effective date.
This rulemaking removes the Section 332 provisions for “Emergency as an Affirmative Defense Regarding Excess Emissions.” On July 12, 2023, the EPA removed the emergency affirmative defense provisions from the CAA operating permit program regulations. DEQ is removing this section to comply with this action.
This rulemaking also adds the four following clarifying definitions: “Toxic Air Pollutant Non-carcinogenic Increments” added to Section 585, “Toxic Air Pollutant Carcinogenic Increments” added to Section 586, “CAS” added to Sections 585 and 586 Notes, and “Open Burning” added to Section 600. During negotiated rulemaking for Docket No. 58-0101-2101, these definitions were struck from Section 006 with the intention of moving them to Sections 585, 586, and 600. While the other definitions were moved to their respective sections, these definitions were inadvertently overlooked. DEQ is now adding these definitions as originally intended.
