APPENDIX F

EVIDENCE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
(This page left intentionally blank.)
Pursuant to the public hearing requirements in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 

section 102, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) is issuing the following notice 

and is taking comment on a proposed certification that the existing Nevada State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) is adequate for implementation of the 2010 nitrogen dioxide national ambient air quality 

standard (NAAQS). 

On February 9, 2010, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) published (75 FR 

6474) a new 1-hour NAAQS for oxides of nitrogen as measured by nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to 

supplement the existing annual standard, effective April 12, 2010. When US EPA promulgates a new 

standard or revises an existing standard, Clean Air Act section 110(a)(1) requires each state to submit 

a plan showing they have the authority and programs needed to implement, maintain, and enforce 

the standard, regardless of designation status. This documentation is submitted to US EPA for 

approval and is generally referred to as an “infrastructure SIP.” States must submit an infrastructure 

SIP within three years after a federal standard is adopted or revised. Nevada’s NO2 infrastructure SIP 

will be submitted to US EPA by January 22, 2013, the submittal deadline.

The NDEP is responsible for developing and implementing state plans in the 15 rural counties of 

Nevada. Clark County and Washoe County have their own air quality agencies, which are responsible 

for their respective counties. The NDEP has prepared a draft NO2 plan demonstrating that Nevada’s 

existing authority and programs meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The NDEP’s draft 

infrastructure SIP and related materials are available on the NDEP website at 

http://ndep.nv.gov/admin/public.htm, click on “Air Quality Planning.” Access to the draft 

document may also be obtained by contacting Frank Forsgren at NDEP, 901 S. Stewart Street, Suite 

4001, Carson City, NV 89701; (775) 687-9364; or e-mail to fforsgre@ndep.nv.gov.

Persons wishing to comment on the proposed Nevada Clean Air Act section 110(a)(2) submittal or to 

request a public hearing should submit their comments or request in writing either in person or by 

mail or fax to Frank Forsgren at the above address or by fax at (775) 687-6396. A request for a 

hearing must be received by January 7, 2013. Written comments will be received by the NDEP 

until 5:00 PM PST, January 15, 2013 and will be retained and considered.

Upon receipt of a valid written request, the NDEP will hold a public hearing in Carson City on:

January 15, 2013

10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Great Basin Conference Room, 4th Floor 

901 South Stewart Street

Carson City, Nevada

An agenda will be posted on the NDEP web site at least 3 working days before the hearing. Oral 

comments will be received at the Hearing. If no request for a public hearing is received by January 

7, 2013, the hearing will be cancelled. Persons may check on the status of the hearing on the NDEP 

web site at http://ndep.nv.gov/admin/public.htm, click on “Air Quality Planning,” or you may call

This notice has been published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Reno Gazette Journal newspapers. It has been 

posted at the NDEP offices in Carson City and Las Vegas, at the State Library in Carson City and at County libraries throughout 

Nevada. Members of the public who are disabled and require special accommodations or assistance at the hearing are
