One of the requirements of Appendix Vis that the documentation include the date of adoption, as well as the effective date, of the rule. In accordance with NH Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 541-A:14, an agency may adopt a rule after all procedures have been completed. The NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) adopts a rule on the day its Commissioner signs a letter advising that he has adopted the rule and files the adopted rule with' the Director of the Office of Legislative Services (OLS) . The rule takes effect the day after it is filed. The attachments hereto contain a letter fromthe DES Commissioner to the Director ofthe OLS, documenting the adoption of the rule, as well as written documentation fromthe OLS as to the filing and effective dates of the rule. Technical support materials are not included for any of the changes, as it is not anticipated that the enclosed rules will affect previous demonstrations regarding attainment of the national ambient air quality standards. Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Brian L. Jennison, Planning Specialist (bjennison(a-)des .state .nh.us) or (603) 271-0536. Thank you. Sincerely,
