MINUTES OF THE GOVERNING BOARD 

OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT 

LANCASTER, CALIFORNIA 

AGENDA ITEM~ 

DATE: December 18, 2012 

RECOMMENDATION: Set date of January 15, 2013 to conduct a public hearing to 

consider the rescission of Rule 1110 - Emissions From Stationary Internal Combustion 

Engines (Demonstration) and approval of CEQA documentation. 

SUMMARY: This item officially sets the date for the mandatory public hearing to be 

held on the rescission of Rule 1110. Rule 1110 is proposed for rescission to remove a 

rule that is inapplicable due to the termination of the program prior to the formation of 

the AV AQMD and the fact that none of the program engines were located within what is 

now the jurisdiction of the AV AQMD. The AV AQMD is proposing to rescind this rule 

due to its inapplicability. 

BACKGROUND: On July 1, 1997 the Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District 

(AVAPCD) was created pursuant to statute (former H&S Code §40106, A.B. 266-Knight 

Ch. 542, statutes of 1996) and assumed all air pollution control responsibilities from the 

South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for the area of Los Angeles 

County outside the South Coast Air Basin. The SCAQMD rules in effect within the 

jurisdiction of the AV APCD remained in effect until the AV APCD Governing Board 

superceded, amended, or rescinded them. On January 1, 2002 the Antelope Valley Air 

Quality Management District (AVAQMD) was created pursuant to statute (H&S Code 

§41300 et seq.) to replace the AV APCD. Once again the rules in effect at the time of the 

change remained in effect until the AV AQMD Governing Board superceded, amended or 

rescinded them. SCAQMD adopted Rule 1110 on November 6, 1981, and is the effective 

rule in the AV AQMD Rule Book 

Rule 1110 - Emissions From Stationary Internal Combustion Engines (Demonstration) 

was adopted by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on November 

6, 1981 to set up a demonstration program to collect emissions data for SCAQMD Rule 

1110.1 - Emissions from Stationary Internal Combustion Engines. The SCAQMD 

demonstration program was completed on or about November 1991 . This was prior to 

the formation of the Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District on July 1, 1997. Rule 

1110 was subsequently rescinded by the SCAQMD on November 14, 1997. Due to the 

provisions of the implementing statute and the subsequent statutory creation of the 

Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District the rule remained in the AV AQMD 

rule book thou h it was ina licable due to the termination of the ro ram and the fact

that none of the program engines were located within what is now the jurisdiction of the 

AVAQMD. The AVAQMD is proposing to rescind this rule due to its inapplicability.

Rule 1110 is a State Implementation Plan (SIP) rule. Removal from the SIP will not cause any 

increase in emissions since the demonstration program was completed prior to the formation of 

the AV AQMD and the rule is inapplicable. 

A Notice of Exemption, Categorical Exemption (Class 8; 14 Cal. Code Reg. § 15308) will be 

prepared by the AV AQMD for the rescission of Rule 1110 pursuant to the requirements of 

CEQA. 

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: Health & Safety Code §§40702 and 40703 require 

the Governing Board to hold a public hearing before adopting rules and regulations. Also, 42 

U.S.C. §7410(1) (FCAA § 110(1)) requires that all SIP revisions be adopted after public notice 

and hearing. 

REVIEW BY OTHERS: This item was reviewed as to legal form by Karen Nowak, District 

Counsel and by Eldon Heaston, Executive Director on or before November 29, 2012. 

FINANCIAL DATA: No increase in appropriation is anticipated.
