# August 1 1,2008 Ms. Judith M. Katz, Director Air Protection Division (3AP00) United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 111 1650 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029 

# RE: Proposed Air Quality Rules for 2009 Legislative Session Dear Ms. Katz: In accordance with state and federal public hearing requirements, on July 1 1, 2008, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Quality (DAQ) initiated a thirty day notification period for its proposed rules for the 2009 West Virginia legislative session. This thirty day notice period ends with a public hearing at 6:00 PM on August 11, 2008. Written and verbal comments are accepted through the close of the hearing. Normally, the DAQ notifies EPA of the Division's proposed air quality rules each year, and expressly solicits comments on those intended as SIP revisions. However, we failed this year to satisfy the notificationrequirement under 40 CFR $5 1.102(d)(3) concurrent

# with our notice of public hearing in the West Virginia Register. 

# The purpose of this letter is to satisfy this federal notification requirement and provide EPA notice of a separate thirty day period to provide comment on the proposed rules. The comment period begins August 15,2008, and ends September 15,2008. While this yields a full thirty day period, we request that you provide your input by August 27, 2008 to help us meet the state rulemaking deadline. Enclosed is a copy of nine (9) proposed air quality rules: 45CSR1, 45CSR8, 45CSR13, 45CSR14,45CSR16,45CSR25,45CSR26,45CSR34 

# and 45CSR37. Once these rules have been authorized and promulgated by the West Virginia Legislature, the DAQ is proposing to adopt them in the Spring of 2009. Upon authorization and promulgation of revisions to 45CSR8, 45CSR13 and 45CSR14, the DAQ will submit the rules to EPA as revisions to the State Implementation Plan pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act (CAA). Rules 45CSR16,45CSR25 and 45CSR34 will also be submitted to EPA to fulfill other federal obligations under the CAA, including delegations, plans and program approvals. Rules 45CSR1, 45CSR26 and 45CSR37 are proposed to be repealed. However, the Division acknowledges that the vacatur of the Clean Air Interstate Rule may compel a withdrawal of the repeals for 45CSR1 and 45CSR26, which implement the

# Proceedings 

# 3

MR. MASON: This public hearing will now come to order on this llthday of August, 2008, at the West
Headquarters. Comments and testimony will be accepted until the close of this hearing, and will be made part of the rulemaking record. Any question regarding revisions to the rules, or repeal, will be included with your comments. Any such question will be answered as part of the response to comments in the rulemaking record. The purpose of this public hearing is to satisfy state rulemaking requirements by accepting comments
on the Proposed Repeal of 45CSR26, NOx Budget Trading Program as a Means of Control and Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides from Electric Generating Units. This rule contains
ozone season NOx reduction requirements which apply to electric generating units which have an electric generating capacity greater than 250 

# megawatts. The Division of Air Quality has proposed to repeal 45CSR26 due to the anticipated implementation of programs under the Clean Air Interstate Rule. However, the Division acknowledges the recent federal court decision which vacated the Clean Air Interstate Rule. The ramifications of this court decision are significant, and may affect the Division's plan to repeal this rule.
