Under the authority ofthe LouisianaEnvironmental Quality Act, R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions ofthe AdministrativeProcedure Act, R.S. 49:950, et seq., the secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been initiated to 

### amend the Air Quality Division regulations, LAC 33:III.504, (AQI27). It 

### is proposed that reference to NOx be removed, as a pollutant to be controlled under nonattainment in LAC 33:TII.504, so that the state may qualify for a control exemption under Section 182(t)(1) ofthe Clean Air Act.

The existing regulation (LAC 33:III.504) makes reference to NOx as a pollutant that must be controlled under nonattainment.

.In order to qualify for a control exemption under Section 182(t)(I), this reference must be deleted from LAC 33:III.504.

These proposed regulations are to become effective upon publication ofthe final rule in the Louisiana Register.



### A public hearing will be held on September 25, 1995, at 1:30 p.m. in the Maynard Ketcham Building, (Room 326), 7290 Bluebonnet Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA 70810. Interested persons are invited to attend and submit oral comments on the proposed amendments. Should individuals I.

### DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

- LOG NO. OS14 PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 27, 1995

6 MS. DEAVILLE: 7 8 9 

### Good afternoon. My name is Patsy Deaville. I'm employed with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. I'll be serving as Hearing Officer this 10 afternoon to receive comments regarding proposed 11 amendments to the Office of Secretary regulation and 12 changes to the Air Quality State Implementation Plan. 13 The COmment period for the rule and the SIP 14 revisions began on October 20, 1995, when the notice was 15 published in the Louisiana Register. The comment period 16 for this rule and the SIP revisions will close at 4:30 17 p.m., December 4, 1995. It would be helpful to us if 18 all oral comments received today were followed up in 19 writing. 20 This public hearing provides a forum for all 21 interested parties to present comments on the proposed 22 changes. I'll ask that each commenter begin by stating 23 their name and affiliation for the record. 24 The first proposed rule change is designated by the 25 Log No. OS14. This rule change amends the Office of 26 Secretary regulations. The proposed rule establishes a 27 28 29 30 consistent set of procedures for Departmental management of information submitted as confidential. The Louisiana Revised Statutes requires the Department to adopt regulations for processing requests

-1-

### 1 for confidentiality. The proposed rule would improve 2 existing rules by adding clarification, improving 3 consistency, and consolidating existing programmatic 4 regulations into one conveniently located chapter. 5 Comments will begin with Andre Jacques. 6 MS. JACQUES: 7 My name is Andre R. Jacques. I'm a supervising 8 attorney at the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic; 9 however, I am not here to represent Tulane Law School or 10 Tulane University in any way. 11 I'm here today to represent L.E.A.N., the Louisiana 12 Environmental Action Network, and Louisiana Citizen 13 Action. 14 The DEQ has proposed regulations that will affect 15 public access "to information provided by all of the 16 major state and federal pollution laws. Broad access to 17 this information is necessary to allow citizens to be 18 sufficiently informed so that they may meaningfully 19 participate in the issues that affect them. 20 We are concerned that if the proposed regulations 21 are issued as they are currently written, they will 22 further restrict the public's access to this 23 information, and thereby threaten citizens' ability to 24 participate and act as a watch dog. 25 There are six major problems with the proposed 26 regulations. First, the EPA has promulgated regulations 27 under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the 28 Solid Waste Disposal Act that explicitly deny 29 confidential status to certain types of information. 30 The DEQ's proposed rule does not track the exact

### 22 23 24 

### 25 26 27 28 

### 29 30 language of these provisions of federal law. Because Louisiana has assumed**responsibili~y** for the administration of the federal Clean Air Act and the Solid Waste Disposal Act, and intends to do the same for the Clean Water Act, the DEQ is required to provide

access to this information gathered under these statutes in the same manner, and degree, as provided for in the EPA regulations. Second, where the DEQ fails to make a determination within 21 days,' proposed Section 505 effectively provides confidentiality by default to any document submitted under a claim of confidentiality. Section 505 requires that information submitted under a claim of confidentiality shall be held as confidential until a final determination has been made. Thus, if DEQ does
not decide if some information is confidential within the 21 days provided in the rule, that information will remain hidden from the public access for an indeterminate period of time. We submit that also the default should be disclosure,**no~** confidentiality. Citizens are not provided with notice of these proceedings and 50, have

no way to make arguments for access, whereas the person who submits the material for confidentiality is keenly

aware of what is going on. It should fall to the submitter to keep DEQ on track in the determination procedure, not those who are not even in fault in this process. Third, the proposed regulations do not provide for redaction, or blacking out the confidential parts of a
-3-

### 1 document that is otherwise required to be disclosed. 2 Under the proposed regulations, if a page of a document 3 determined to be confidential is determined to be 4 confidential, that whole page will be withheld from the 5 public view, regardless of whether it also contains 6 important**non~confidential** 

### information. 7 EPA regulations provide for such partial disclosure 8 in 40 

### CFR 2.103. 

### We ask that the DEQ consider adding a 9 similar provision to that found in the federal law. 10 Fourth, these proposed regulations do not require 11 the DEQ to indicate to someone viewing records that some 12 parts of them have been withheld and filed separately as 13 confidential documents. We submit the DEQ must provide 14 notice that the record does not contain all of the 15 documents submitted to DEQ. 16 The proposed regulations should require that 17 markers be placed where pages or parts have been removed 18 and provide some identifying information so that these 19 documents may later be described with sufficient 20 

### particularity, to allow reference in any later 21 proceedings. 22 The regulations should also require the 23 

### administrative authority to provide a non-disclosive 24 

### summary of the confidential information such that the 25 potential problems and health risks may be identified. 26 Fifth, under Section 509 of the proposed rule, the 27 administrative authority is 

### required to remove 28 confidential materials from its files when it no longer 29 needs them, and**r~turn** 

### these materials to the submitter. 30 This 

### provision not only allows the DEQ to receive and

### 29 30 return a document without providing any opportunity to the public of challenging its confidentiality, but it also effectively erases any paper trail. We submit that there should be a minimum retention period for all confidential materials within a file,
commensurate with the period required for holding the non-confidential materials in that same file. Sixth, we submit that the proposed regulation should provide for viewing of otherwise confidential information under written agreement for confidentiality. Such disclosure would be allowed only under circumstances enumerated 

### in a rule. To protect the submitter of the said confidential information, the disclosure would require the viewer to agree 

### in writing
to maintain the confidentiality of the document under
terms defined 

### 'in a regulation. As they are currently written, the proposed regulations fail to provide the level of access to information**r~quired** under the federal statutes that Louisiana has adopted and has held to carry out. Further,' passage of these regulations as they are currently written would represent a very real threat to

our safety, and cannot be justified by concern for administrative'expediency. Thank you. MS. DEAVILLE: Thank you. Our next commenter is Henry Graham. MR. GRAHAM: Good afternoon. My name is Henry Graham. I am Legal and Environmental Director for the Louisiana

11 rule, prior to' seeking oversight approval. 12 We have several concerns with the proposed rule, 13 and I'm not going to try to go through all of those. 14 They will be in our written comments, but we would like 15 to say that there is some additional information that 16 may be needed in the regulations, particularly dealing 17 with the maintenance of confidential information. 18 There is a statutory

# !-og 1# 

### OS14 General. The commentor supportsthepromulgation ofthese rules which

### will establish a consistent set ofproceduresregarding confidential information. DEQ 

### is gratifiedto receive this endorsement andwillproceedwith adoption ofthis rule. GeneraL 

### In orderto ensuretheprotection ofconfidentialinformation while inthe custody ofLDEQ, the commentorrecommendsthe addition of provisionsregarding maintenance ofconfidentialinformation 

## similarto those currently found at LAC 33:IX.301.N.4.d. These provisions should include requirements for segregationfromnon-confidentialinformation, records ofaccess byLDEQ staff: supervision ofaccess by authorizednonLDEQ staff: and safe storage (Le. lockandkey). Thetexthas been amendedin Sections 507 and 508 to includeprovisions forhandling confidentialinformation. General. The commentor submitsthat LDEQ's proposed amendmentsto the confidentialityrules shouldbe carefullyreviewedby LDEQ andmodified asnecessaryto insure that such amendments do not jeopardizetheproposed delegation ofthe federal NPDES programto LDEQ. Amendmentsto the proposedrulehave beenmade to clarifythe scope of denial ofconfidentialityfor waterpermits andto elaborate onprocedures formaintenance ofconfidentialinformation. General. The commentorbelievesthat an additional section shouldbe addedwhich shouldreference the statutorypenaltiesprovided for intentionaldisclosure orconspiracyto disclose trade secrets or other informationwhichhas been determinedto be confidential, as contained in RS. 30:2030 (C) and RS. 30:2074 (D) (9).
Texthas been addedin Section 507 B which specifiespenalties regarding release ofconfidentialinformation. General. The commentorincludedrecommendedtextthat shouldbe addedin orderto specifyhowLDEQ intends to handle information deggnMed as confidential

RESPONSES:

COMMENT 9:

RESPONSE 9: Amendmentshave been addedin Section 508 to provide forthe handling and safe-keeping ofconfidentialinformation. 

### General. LDEQregulations do not provideforpublic notice of confidentiality determinations. A defaultrulerequiring disclosure would protectthe public's constitutionalrightto access. Public notice ofconfidentiality determinations would defeat the purpose of protecting sensitive information. The FreedomofInformationActprotects the public'sright ofaccessto materialnot determinedto be confidential Theregulation limitsthe scope ofmaterialthat may qualifyfor confidentialityin Sections SOland 505 B. 

### General. The commentor submitsthat LDEQ mustinclude a provisionforredaction ofconfidentialinformationto provide access to non-confidentialinformation requiredbylaw. (See 40 CPR §2.103) Section 503.B.2 hasbeen amendedto provide for submittal ofdual documents 

### with the confidentialprovisionsblacked outinthe nonconfidentialversion. Section 503. B.3 clarifiesthatwhole documents shallbe confidential onlyin caseswhere the confidentialinformation cannot be extracted or separated. 

### General. Theproposedregulations do not require LDEQ to provide anykind ofnotice orexplanationto thoseviewing a file thatthere are documents that havebeen designated as confidential and are missingfrom that file. Withoutthis information, theviewer cannot evaluatethe records accurately andthe value ofaccess to therecords is

### therebygreatlyreduced.

Section 503.B.I requires confidentialinformationbe clearlylabeled. Section 503.B.2 statesthat ''The confidentialinformation shallbe specificallyreferenced as appropriate 

### in thenonconfidentialdocument." If blacking out is

### used, the blacked outportions needto beidentified as confidential 

### General. The commentorbelievesthatthe proposedrule should considerthe possibilitythat circumstances may arise which maynecessitate the disclosure ofconfidentialinformation, and shouldprovidefor such disclosure. For example, release ofconfidentialinformationmaybe necessaryto protectthehealth or safety ofthe environment against an unreasonable risk 

### ofinjury. 

### Confidentialinformation maybe disclosedto duly authorizedpersons (emergencyresponse personnelfor example) ifit wouldbehelpful in

### alleviating a situationposing animminent and substantial**d~ger** 

### to public health or safety, as determinedbytheAdministrative Authority.
COMMENT 10: GeneraL The commentorbelieves that anyperson shouldbe allowed access to confidentialinformationuponrequest after signing a confidentialityagreementwhich statesthat the information examined pursuantto the agreement

### will notberevealed. RESPONSE 10: RS. 

### 30:2030A(2) limits disclosure ofconfidentialinformationto duly authorized officers oremployees ofthe state orfederal government 

### in carrying outtheirresponsibilities. Penalties forunlawful disclosure are limitedto these individuals. COMMENT 11: §501. The commentorbelieves therule shouldprovidethatthe request andanywritten determination ofconfidentiality shouldbe subject to reviewbythe assistant secretaryforLegalAffairs and Enforcement. RESPONSE 11: A technicalamendmenthas beenpreparedto move the request submittal requirement from Section 

### 503.B.3 to 

### 501. Therelocation

### will clarifYthat all (originating

### within and outsideDEQ) writtenrequests for confidentiality shallbe submittedto theLegalDivisionforreview andrecommendationto the secretary. COMMENT 12: §501. 

# n e determinationfor confidentiality should specifythe reason andtheperiodforwhich confidentiality shall apply. Inthe event the needfor confidentialityceases, the determination should also include specificationsforwhen andhowtheinformation

### will become available to the public. RESPONSE 12: Section 

### 503 specifiesthatthe reason andperiodfor which confidentiality 

### is desired mustbeincludedinthe confidentialityrequest. The secretarymay include

### this informationinhislherwritten determination. Section 

### 509 addressesthetopic ofrelease ofconfidentialinformation. COMMENT 13: General. Althoughthe purpose of

### this rule 

### isto condense regulations concerning confidentiality, 

### thisrule drasticallyincreases boththe potential for abuse ofthepowerto make documents confidential, andthe risk of direct and indirecthuman exposureto hazardous wastes and other pollution. RESPONSE 13: The regulation limitsthe scope ofmaterialthatmayqualify for confidentialityin Sections 

### 501 and 

### 50S B. The authorityforthe secretary to declare documents confidentialhas notbeen expanded. COMMENT 14: General. The commentorbelievesthat LDEQ shouldrevise the

### proposed amendmentsbothto complywithfederl.llaw andto maintainthe availability of public access to documentsproduced orrequiredunderthe regulations soughtto be amended andthe statutes theyimplement. RESPONSE 14: Withthetechnical amendments to theproposedrule, the department believestherule 

### is consistentwith state andfederal mandates. COMMENT 15: §501. 

### This section should also 

### require the secretary ofLDEQto articulatethereasons forrequesting confidentiality. RESPONSE 15: Thereasons for confidentialityare outlinedinthe proposedrule. It 

### is for thesereasons onlythat confidentialitywouldbe granted and 

### isunnecessary to repeatthe intentionsfor confidentiality. COMMENT 16: §501.2. Thephrase, to "preventimpairment ofan ongoing investigation orprejudiceto the final decisionregarding aviolation," lies essentiallyuntreated andthereby overextends LDEQ's discretion. While this section 

### is arguably analogousto the exemption categoryprovidedin the EPAregulations under 40 CFR § 2.118(a)(7)(1), LDEQ regulations do notprovide anyguidancefor decisions based on this subsection.

RESPONSE 16: LDEQ feels thatthis sectionisin agreement with EPA exemption requirements coveredin 40 CFR § 2.118 (a)(7)(i)(A) &(B). In 

### addition, the languagewas taken directlyfromRS.30:2030 A(l)(a). COMMENT 17: §50J. 

### This sectionrequires thatthe submitter ofthe documents for request ofconfidentiality state whethermeasureshavebeentakento protectconfidentiality. However, this section does not inquire asto the intentforthe future. Compareto 40 CFR §2.208. RESPONSE 17: The department feels that 

### ifa submitter ofconfidentialinformationhas taken adequateprecautions to prevent disclosureinthe past, it 

### is likelythat the submitterwill 

### continuethemanagementpracticeinthe future. Also, as part oftherequest, the submittermustindicatethe period oftime for which confidentialtreatment 

### is desired. COMMENT 18: §50J. 

### This section

### fails to sufficiently incorporatethe federal criteria (40 CFR §2.208)for determining confidentiality. Whilethe comparable federal regulationsprovide a standard ofreview for a claimof confidentiality, section 503 doesnot. RESPONSE 18: LDEQ feels the information outlinedinthis section 

### is sufficient for requesting a claimofconfidentiality.

### COMMENT 19: §503. EPA's subsection (c) of§2.208 requires thatthe information "isnot, andhasnotbeenreasonably obtainablewithoutthe business's consent"; however, the state's rule requires only submission of the "extentto whichtheinformationhas been disclosed." 

### RESPONSE 19: The State also requires businesses state ''the measures taken to guard againstundesired disclosure oftheinformationto others." In 

### making the determinationfor confidentiality

### it

### will be selfevidentby studyingthe measurestaken whetherornottheinformationhas orhasnotbeen reasonably obtainablewithoutthe business's consent. In 

### thisway, the decision canbebased onmore information

### thanjusta 'yes' or 'no' to the question ofinformationbeing readily available. 

### COMMENT 20: §S03. EPAlistsunder §2.208(d) that "No statute specifically requires disclosure ofthe information" underrequestfor confidentiality. LDEQ doesnotinclude such aprovisionin

### this sectionwhich specifically statesthe information 

### shall be denied confidentialityif

### it isrequiredbythe statutesto be disclosed. 

### RESPONSE 20: A provisionhas been addedto 505.B.7 which addresses

### this concern. 

### COMMENT 21: §S03.A. The commentorbelievesthe listedrequirements are unduly burdensome andunnecessary. Thepersonrequesting confidentiality should simplyberequiredto submit awrittenrequest for confidentialitywhich specifesthe basisfor requesting such asprovidedinLa. R.S.30:2030. 

### RESPONSE 21: The department feels the requirementsin

### this section are necessaryin order for a determination ofwhetherthe basisforthe claimofconfidentiality 

### is justified and consistentwiththe submitter'spast managementhistory ofthe information. No changeto the rulehasbeen made. 

### COMMENT 22: §S03.A.3. While

### this sectionmight appearto meet EPA's requirements, the factthatthe submitterneed only "submit" allegations against disclosure andnotprove or "show" any ofthemleavesLDEQ without any standardfor reviewto applyto the submission. 

### RESPONSE 22: Thefederalregulationsrequirethe ''business must satisfactorily showthat ithas takenreasonable measuresto protectthe confidentiality

..." LDEQ feels the requirements inthis section are sufficientin "showing" the precautionsthathave beentakento prevent disclosure. 

### COMMENT23: §SOS. Thephrase, "airemission data", 

### isnot definedwithinthe proposedrule. Without an explicit definitionit 

### isimpossibleto discern whether such language is intendedto be commensurate withthe EPA requirement.

### RESPONSE 

### 23: Airemission data 

### is coveredunder RS. 30:2030 andit 

### isnot specifically definedinthe Louisiana statute. TheAir Quality

### Divisionuses the EPA definitionfor "emission data" as publishedinthe FederalRegisterVoL 56, No. 35, February 21, 1991. COMMENT 

### 24: §503.B.3. 

### This sectionrequiresthat anyperson submitting information to the administrative authorityforwhich a confidentiality claim

..." be denied confidentiality. LDEQregulations must follow suit. RESPONSE 

### 26: Thereference to LAC 33:m.507 is

### notnew (See lAC 33:m.517.F.l). It is the intent ofthe department to retainpreviouslyestablished categories of informationthat are deniedconfidentiality. No change to the rule has been made. COMMENT

### COMMENT 28: §505.B.6. The commentor is concerned that

### this provisionmaybe overlyl>road. It isincreasinglyimportantto include greaterlevels ofdetail inthese applicationsto allow greaterflexibilityin operations. With

### this greaterlevel ofdetail, theneedto protectinformationincreases. In**additio~** 

### with the increased emphasis onrecycle andreuse ofwastewaters, theposSloilityofcreating a competitive advantagethroughinnovative treatmentmethodshas increased. Someprovisionwhich addresses these concerns shouldbeincludedintheproposedrule. RESPONSE 

### 28: The statute doesnotprovide exceptionsto the list ofcategories of informationthat

### will be denied confidentiality. 

### This sectionhasbeen amendedto clarifytherequirementsinR.S. 30:2074(0)(7). 

### COMMENT 29: §505.D. The commentor submitsthat ifLDEQ 

### fails to make a determination

### withinthetwenty-one-dayperiodprovided, theinformation shouldbemadepublic

### within a short, specifiedperiod oftime, allowing for appealofsaidfailure bythe submitteras final agency action. RESPONSE 

### 29: LDEQ isboundbyR.S. 30:2074 to make a confidentialitydetermination 

### within 21 working days. Thatnotwithstanding, also accordingto 

### this statute, "Allmaterials clearlylabeled "CONFIDENTIAL" which are submittedto the department

### the public. COMMENT 32: §507. Recourse andpenalties forwrongful disclosure of confidentialinformation shouldbeincludedinthis 

### section as well.
RESPONSE 32: 

### An amendment has beenmade in Section 507. B to specifypenalties for disclosUre ofconfidentialinformation. COMMENT 33: §507. Therequirement ofmaintaining confidentialrecords in a separatefile andkeepingthese records marked and secured as "confidential," shouldbe addressed specifically. RESPONSE 33: 

### An amendment in Section 508 addresses the requirements for maintenance ofco:didenti3.Irecords as indicatedinthe comment. COMMENT 34: §507. A record shouldbe maintained ofpersons

## withinLDEQ having access to confidentialfiles. RESPONSE 34: 

### An amendmentin Section 508 

### A 1 addresses the requirements for a confidentialfile access log as indicatedinthe comment. COMMENT 35: §507. The commentorbelieves LDEQ shouldnotprovide a means forpersons outsidethe departmentto view confidentialinformation simply by signing an agreementnorby any othermechanism.
RESPONSE 35: 

### Thislimitation wouldbeinconsistentwith statutoryprovisions. According to RS. 30:2030 A(2), "nondisclosure shallnot apply to necessaryuse by duly authorized officers or employees ofstate orfederal government 

### in carrying outtheirresponsJ,bilities

..." No change to the rule has been made. COMMENT 36: §507. The commentor suggeststhat once a determination of confidentialityhas been made, public release ofthe confidential documents shouldnot occur. RESPONSE 36: Public release ofconfidential documents may occur only inthe case of enforcement sensitive documentsthat are returned to public record files upon completion ofthe investigation. COMMENT 37: §509.A. This 

### section requiresthat LDEQ remove confidential material fromthe file andreturn it to the submitterwhen it isno longer needed. Such arule has the potential to allow elimination ofanypapertrail

### RESPONSE 37:

COMMENT 38:

RESPONSE 38: that in light oflaterlitigation orinvestigatio.n, couldhave provided importantinsight. The commentor submits thatLDEQ should institute a minimum 

### retentionperiodfor confidential documents within a file that requires these documentsto beretainedfor as long as thenon-confidential material 

### isretained.
An amendmenthas beenmadeto Section 509 A to establish a minimum 

### recordretention ofthreeyears, regardless ofwhetherthe information 

### is needed General. EPA's regulations 

## specify additional substantive criteria for confidentialitydeterminations in40 CPR §2.302. That section categorically denies confidentialityto any effluent data, as defined

## in subsection(a)(2) ofthe same section, and "anyprogtoition, any effluent limitation, oranytoxic, pre-tretment ornew sourceperformance standard establishedorpubliclyproposedpursuantto the (CleanWater) Act or pursuantto anyregulation undertheAct

..." 40 CFR §2.302(a)(2), (3), (e). Thus, it 

### is clearthat, asthefederal statutes and the regulations implementingthemarewritten, LDEQ

### mustpromulgate itsrules

## in compliance

## with andin a substantivelyparallel mannerto EPAregulations.
An amendmenthas been madeto Section 505 

### B. 6 to clarify confidentiality claimsthatrelateto water discharge activities. The department feels that theproposedrule as amended 

### is consistent

### with EPA's requirements to receive delegation fortheNPDES program.

- SIP PUBLIC HEARING JANUARY 24, 1997

9 7 8 Good afternoon. My name is Patsy Deaville. I'm employed with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality". I'll be serving as Hearing Officer this 10 afternoon to receive comments regarding proposed 11 amendments to the Water Quality Division Regulations and 12 the Air Quality State Implementation Plan. 13 The comment period for these amendments began on 14 December 20, 1996, when the notice of intent was 15 published in the Louisiana Register. The comment period 16 will close at 4:30 p.m. today, January 24, 1997 for the 17 Water Quality amendments. The comment period for the 18 State Implementation Plan revision has been extended
19 from January 31, 1997 to 4:30 p.m. on February 28, 1997. 20 Please make a note of that because the original notice 21 of intent had next Friday, I guess the 31st of January. 22 This public hearing provides a forum for all 23 interested parties to present comments on the proposed 24 changes. It would be helpful to us if all oral comments 25 received today were followed up in writing. I'll ask 26 that each commentor begin by stating their name and 27 affiliation for the record. 28 The next amendment gives notice that general
29 revisions will be made to the State Implementation Plan 30 (SIP)

Mr. RobertHannah Administrator 

### Air QualityDivision LouisianaDepartment of Environmental Quality P.O. Box 82135 BatonRouge, LA 70884-2135 Dear

## Mr. Hannah: Thankyou for the opportunity to provide comments onthe proposed revision to the Louisiana StateImplementationPlan (SIP) to include amendments to various rules in LAC 33:TIr.Chapters 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13,21,23 and 25. We have reviewed the proposed submittal and have the following comments. Chapter2 Withregards to AQ 76 (Fee System), the Region has some questions as to whetherthe Title V fee delineated in section 223 (Fee ScheduleListing, Fee Number2300) should be incorporated into the SIP. (The Region is conferring withHeadquarters andthe Office ofGeneral Counsel on this matter.) We willbe providing the State with written feedback on whether incorporating the rule into the SIP is recommended shortly.
In addition, theFee ScheduleListing in AQ 101 is confusing. The proposal appears to add/revise lead fees (numbers 2041,2051,2061, 2062, and 2071), but the final rule does not include these additions/revisions. (Thepreamble languagein the final rule indicates that the lead abatement program is required, but the lead provisions do not appearin the rule.) Also, it appears that anumberofrevisions to the Fee ScheduleListing have notbeen submitted to EPA and are not inthe proposal (namely, revisions to section 223 dated**~eptember** 

### 1989, December 1991, January 1992, December 1993, April 1994, August 1995, October 1995, andNovember 1995). These revisions should also be submitted to EPAforincorporationinto the SIP. It would be helpful ifthe State could provide a chronological "crosswalk" ofthe changes that have beenmade to theFee ScheduleListing overtime and provide the rationale for the changes (additions, deletions, and revisions) that were made ifit is not clearly stated inthe rulemakingpreamble.

Chapter 5 The State included OS 14 in the proposed submittal. This rule moves confidentiality provisions formerly found inLAC 33:ill.l07 and 33:111.517 to LAC 33:I.Chapter 5. In the submittal, the State struckthrough the LAC 33:I.Chapter 5 language. The Region needs to approve this language into the SIP (in orderthat revising LAC 33:ill.l07 and 33:ill.517 does not constitute a relaxation ofthe SIP). The Region requests that the State submit a clean photocopy of

# as 14 as part ofthe official submittal and modify the summary chart to include LAC 33:I.Chapter 5. Chapter 9 

### In approving the Emissions StatementProgram, the Region approvedLouisiana regulations AQ 60 and AQ 94 into the SIP. AQ 60 was the original (underlying) rule, and AQ 94 was a technical correction thereto. AQ 74, which appears in the proposed submittal, was not included as part ofthe Emissions Statement submittal. We have some concerns regarding the approvability ofAQ 74 since the rule changes the method for calculating the "peak season daily average" emissions. The rule directs facilities to calculate a daily average for a month during the peak season. According to the rule, the State would then tell the facilities which month to actually report. In theory, the State could "select" a daily average for a month which may not be the same as the daily average for the peak season. This approach could significantly affect the emissions inventoryultimately reported for the various nonattainment areas. AQ 136, which is also included 

## in the proposed submittal, was not part ofthe'Emissions Statement submittal. The changes in AQ 136 are minorwording clarifications, which are approvable. Chapter 21 The State included AQ 61 (publishedNovember 20, 1992 and republished on January 20, 1993) in the proposed submittal. These regulations have already been SIP-approved as part ofthe Stage II VaporRecovery final action and should not be included in the official submittal. Also, the Region appreciates the State providing copies ofAQ 103 (Incidental Volatile Organic Compound Reductions to DemonstrationReasonble FurtherProgress) and AQ 109 (Repeal ofAQ 103) for informational purposes only. To streamline the final submittal, the Region recommends not submitting these rules as part ofthe official plan. Chapter 25 The State included

### 3 in October 1994, has not previouslybeen submitted forFederal approval and would also needto be included inthe official submittal and the summary chart. With regards to AQ 83 (biomedical waste and refuse incinerators), the Region has comparedthe emission limits established inthe State rules to EPA's proposed Medical Waste IncineratorNew SourcePerformance Standards (NSPS). In general, ourreview indicates thatthe proposed Federal emission limits are more stringentthanthose contained in sections 2511 and 2521. We are, therefore, hesitant to actupon the State's biomedical waste and refuse incinerators rules atthis time for the following reason. We recommend that the State await submittal ofthis rule until after consideration ofthe future NSPS.

, 

### EPA is developing the medical waste"incineration rules underthe authority ofboth sections 111 and 129 ofthe Clean AirAct. Section 129 ofthe Act requires State emission limits to be at least as stringent as the Federal requirements. TheEPA is under Court Orderto promulgateNSPS andEmission Guidelines (EG) for medical waste incinerators byJuly 25, 1997. We are fairly confidentthat the final emission limits established in theNSPS andEGwillbe at least as stringent as those proposed. Ifwe approvedLouisiana's regulations as they currently stand, the State would most likely have to submit a subsequent SIP revision within the yearto withdraw and/orrevise these regulations and incorporate the more stringent Federal NSPSIEG requirements into the State administrative code. Miscellaneous Changes The State submitted AQ 125 as part ofthe proposed plan revision. AQ 125 makes changes to Chapters 1, 7, 11, 13, and 25 to removethe phrase "undesirable levels" from certain sections within these chapters. The changes are necessary because ofa cour:t ruling that the phrase is unenforceable. As 

### the Region mentioned in its comments on AQ I2'5'Whenthe rule was originallyproposed in June 1995, the State should include in the official submittal (Response to , Comments), abriefdiscussion on thebackground ofthe court's ruling and an explanation ofhow the State's existing regulations (sulfur dioxide, smoke, outdoorburning, particulate matter, incineration, etc.) are as protective as the former regulations. In the discussion, the State should identify the sourcefor the standards inthe existing regulations (i.e., national standards, "safe limit" values, etc.). Byproviding this background/explanation, the State will have demonstrated that revising the regulations does not constitute arelaxation ofthe SIP. Lastly, my staffhave discussed with your staff "bundling" the RevisedLouisiana Statutes SIP submittal withthis submittal in a singlerulemaking action. (The Statutes SIP was submitted to the Region inDecember 1993.) The Region has requestedthat the State submit arevision to the Statutes SIP submittal in the nearfuture in orderthat the mostup-to-date version ofthe Louisiana statutes available canbe incorporated into the SIP. This submittal would supersede the previous submission. My staffare committed to working closelywiththe State in the development ofthis submittal andwill be providing more specific guidance to the State in a follow-up letteron that subject.

### AQ 76

- - EPA Region 6 has some questions as to whether the Title V fee delineated in §223. Fee Schedule Listing, Fee Number 2300, should be incorporated into the SIP. They are conferring with Headquarters and the Office of General Counsel. They will be providing the State with written feedback on whether incorporating the rule into the SIP is recommended. AQ 76 had two separate actions involved: 1) Changes made to §211.Methodology included an explanatory note with regard to LAC33:III.507. Part 70 Operating Permits Program (Title V enforceable only)

. 2) Change made to §223.Fee Schedule Listing, Fee Number 2300, applies to all permits. AQ101

-- EPA noted that the Fee Schedule Listing is confusing. The proposal appears to revise lead fees (numbers 2041, 2051, 2061, 2062, and 2'071), but the final rule does not include**~hese** 

### additions/revisions. (The preamble language in the final rule indicates that the lead abatement program is required, but the lead provisions do not appear in the rule.) Originally, the Notice of Intent did include revisions for lead fees. However, on 11/9/94 a list of Technical Amendments was sent to our Legal Division deleting the lead fees from this**revisio~** 

### and including them in AQ100. The Preamble**languas~**

### COMMENT 3:

RESPONSE 3: LA DEPT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 1996 GENERAL SIP REVISION RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 

### EPA noted that a number of revisions to the Fee Schedule Listing have not been submitted to them and are not in the proposal (namely, revisions to §223 dated September 1989, December 1991, January 1992, December 1993, April 1994, August 1995, October 1995, and November 1995). EPA noted these revisions should also be submitted to them for incorporation into the SIP. They noted it would be helpful if the State could provide a chronological "crosswalk" of the changes that have been made to the Fee Schedule Listing over time and provide the rationale for the changes (additions, deletions, and revisions) that were made if it is not clearly stated in the rulemaking preamble. The following explanation is given for each revision noted above: 1) september 1989

-- Asbestos Fees Asbestos Program is "NOT" in the SIP. 2) December 1991

-- Air Toxics Annual Emission Fees

- - Air Toxics Program is "NOT" in the SIP. 3) January 1992

-- Air Toxics Emission Fees

-- Air Toxics Program is "NOT" in the SIP. 4) December 1993

- - Asbestos Fees Asbestos Program is "NOT" in the SIP. 5) April 1994 Chemical Accident Prevention Fees

-- Program is "NOT" in the SIP. 6) August 1995 (AQ 98)

-- Was submitted in the proposal for incorporation into the SIP. 7) October 1995 (AQ 98)

-- Republished a portion of the Air Quality Fee Schedule which appeared on pages 781-791 of the 8/20/95 Louisiana Register. This was left out in error and is included in Appendix B of this final official submittal. 8) November 1995 (AQl16)

-- Was included in the Low Enhanced Inspection Maintenance SIP that was submitted to EPA, Region 6, on December 27, 1995. A chronological "crosswalk" of the changes that have been made to the Fee Schedule Listing over time and the rationale for the changes (additions, deletions, and revisions) , is included in the SIPMAP. A copy of the summary of the SIPMAP for Chapters 2 and 65 is included in Appendix B of this final official submittal.

### EPA noted that the State included OS 14 in the proposed submittal. This rule moves confidentiality provisions formerly found in LAC33:III.107 and 33:111.517 to LAC 33:I.Chapter 5. In the submittal, the State struck through the LAC33 : I . Chapter 5 language. The Region needs to approve this language into the SIP (in order that revising LAC 33: III .107 and 33: 111.517 does not consitutute a relaxation of the SIP). The Region requests that the State submit a clean photocopy of OS14 as part of the official submittal and modify the summary chart to include LAC33:I.Chapter 5. All supporting documentation of OS 14 is included in Appendix C of this final official submittal as requested.

In approving the Emissions Statement Program, the Region approved Louisiana regulations AQ 60 and AQ 94 into the SIP. AQ 60 was the original (underlying) rule, and AQ 94 was a technical correction thereto. AQ 74, which appears in the proposed submittal, was not included as part of the Emissions Statement submittal. We have some concerns regarding the approvability of AQ 74 since the rule changes the method for calculating the l1peak season daily averagel1 emissions. The rule directs facilities to calculate a daily average for a month during the peak season. According to the rule, the State would then tell the facilities which month to actually report. In theory, the State could l1selectl1 a daily average for a month which may not be the same as the daily average for the peak season. This approach could significantly affect the emissions inventory ultimately reported for the various nonattainment areas. AQ 136, which is also included in the proposed submittal, was not part of the Emissions Statement submittal. The changes in AQ 136 are minor wording clarifications, which are approvable.

### RESPONSE 5: In the current instructions for completing and \ submitting emissions inventorYt facilities are directed to report the daily average for the entire three month peak seasont not just one month. LAC 33.III.919.B.3 will be updated to be consistent with this procedure. A copy of the suggested changes is included in the Supplement to AQ 74 in Appendix D of this final official submittal.

COMMENT 7:

RESPONSE 7: The State included AQ 61 (published 11/20/92 and republished 1/20/93) in the proposed submittal. These regulations have already been SIP-approved as a part of the Stage II Vapor Recovery final action and should not be included in the official submittal. The Stage II Vapor Recovery SIP final action did include the 11/20/92 rule and was submitted in the proposal only for informational purposes and should be removed from the final package. Butt the Stage II Vapor Recovery SIP final action did not include the 1/20/93 correction. SOt 

### it is being included in this final submittal and should be noted as a revision to the Stage II Vapor Recovery SIP. See Chapter Summary (Supplement to AQ 61 t 

### Appendix E)

. The Region noted they appreciated the State providing copies of AQ 103 (Incidental Volatile Organic Compound Reductions to Demonstration Reasonable Further Progress) and AQ 109 (Repeal of AQ 103) for infomational purposes only. To streamline the final submitalt they recommended not submitting these rules as part of the official plan. The State is not resubmitting a copy of each individual rule in the final official submittal. We will be noting this has been previously submitted under separate cover per verbal recommendations of the Region. The Region shouldt thereforet remove AQ 103 & 109 from the submittal when they issue approval of this SIP revision.

### EPA noted that the State included in its proposal revisions to §§2501, 2511, 2521, and 2531 that pertain to biomedical waste and refuse incinerators and crematories. EPA had no comments to provide on AQ 142 (crematories) except that the underlying regulation, promulgated in 10/94, had not previously been submitted for Federal appoval and would also need to be included in the official submittal and tpe summary chart. The State only included revisions to §§2501, 2511, and 2521--not §2531. We do not want to include it in the SIP. With regards to AQ 83 (biomedical waste and refuse incinerators), the Region compared the emission limits established in the State rules to EPA's proposed Medical Waste Incinerator New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). In general, their review indicated that the proposed Federal emission limits were more stringent than those contained in §§2511 and 2521. EPA was, therefore, hesitant to act upon the State's biomedical waste and refuse incinerators rules at this time and recommended that the State await submittal of this rule until after consideration of the future NSPS. EPA noted they are developing the medical waste incineration rules under the authority of both §§111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act. Section 129 of the Act requires State emission limits to be at least as stringent as the Federal requirements. The EPA is under Court Order to promulgate NSPS and Emission Guidelines (EG) for medical waste incinerators by 7/25/97. EPA was fairly confident that the final emission limits established in the NSPS and EG will be at least as stringent as those proposed. They stated that if they approved Louisiana's regulations as they currently stand, the State would most likely have to submit a subsequent SIP revision within the year to withdraw and/or revise these regulations and incorporate the more stringent Federal NSPS/EG requirements into the State administrative code.

### RESPONSE 9: LA DEPT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 1996 GENERAL SIP REVISION RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 

### The State will incorporate, by reference, the entire Federal rule as promulgated. Accordingly, we are officially submitting as is at the present time.
Miscellaneous Changes 

### COMMENT 10:

RESPONSE 10: The Region reiterated previous comments made during the comment period regarding changes made in AQ 125 to Chapters 1, 7, 11, 13, and 25 to remove the phrase "undesirable levels" from certain sections because of a court ruling that the phrase is unenforceable. The Region stated that the State should include in the official submittal (response to comments), a brief discussion on the background of the court's ruling and an explanation of how the State's existing regulations (sulfur dioxide, smoke, outdoor burning, particulate matter, incineration, etc.) are as protective as the former regulations. In the discussion, the State should identify the source for the standards in the existing regulations (i.e., national standards, "safe limit" values, etc). By providing this background/explanation, the State will have demonstrated that revising the regulations does not constitute a relaxation of the SIP. A copy of the court ruling is included in AQ125's Supplement in Appendix A of this final official submittal. The phrase "undesirable levels" was removed from Chapter 7 relative to sulfur dioxide, from Chapter 11 relative to smoke and outdoor burning, from Chapter 13 relative to toxic particulate matter, and from Chapter 25 relative to biomedical waste incinerators. Only the definition of "undesirable levels" was removed from Chapter 1. The primary and secondary ambient air quality standards in Chapter 7 are based on the national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards. The standards for sulfur dioxide in Chapter 7 remain the same as they were before AQ125. Specific opacity limits are specified for smoke in Chapter 11. The opacity requirements remain the same as they were before AQ125.

### Outdoor burning is prohibited in Chapter 11 except for the exceptions listed in LAC 33:III.II09.C. No exceptions to outdoor burning have been added as a result of AQ125. LAC 33:111.1303 allows for stricter control of toxic particulate matter than particulate matter in general. The nature and intent of this section has not changed as a result of AQ125. In addition, specific requirements for toxic air pollutants are given in LAC 33:III.Chapter 51. Chapter 25 gives emission standards for PM10 ,

COMMENT 11:

RESPONSE 11: Lastly, the Region noted a discussion with State staff regarding "bundling" the Revised Louisiana Statutes SIP submittal with this submittal in a single rulemaking action. (The Statutes SIP was submitted to the Region in December 1993.) The Region requested that the State submit a revision to the Statutes SIP submittal in the near future in order that the most up-to-date version of the Louisiana Statutes available can be incoporated into the SIP. This submittal would supersede the previous submission. It was noted that EPA's staff are committed to working closely with the State in the development of this submittal and will be providing more specific guidance to the State in a followup letter on that subject. The State submitted the Louisiana Revised Statutes through the 1996 Legislative changes by Federal Express on June 6, 1997.
