Classification and 

Implementation (Rev. F12) 

Dear Ms. Esher: 

Pursuant to the requirements of § 11 0 of the Clean Air Act, we are officially requesting 

approval of a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan approved 

and submitted under the authority of § 10.1-1185 of the Code of Virginia and in accordance with 

the requirements of 40 CFR Part 51 (Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of 

Implementation Plans). 

This revision consists of amendments to the regulations needed in order to meet federal 

requirements for ozone classification and implementation. The Northern Virginia ozone 

nonattainment area was originally classified as "moderate" for the 1997 standard. On May 21, 

2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established air quality designations for 

the 2008 standard (77 FR 30088), including the classification ofNorthern Virginia as "marginal" 

for the 2008 standard. At the same time, EPA provided for the revocation of the 1997 standard 

for transportation conformity purposes (77 FR 30 160). The list of nonattainment areas in 

9VAC5-20-204 as well as the 1997 standards for ozone specified in 9V AC5-30-55 have been 

amended in order to reflect these new federal requirements. The regulation amendments were 

adopted by the State Air Pollution Control Board on September 14, 2012 under the authority of§ 

10.1-1308 of the Code of Virginia. 
Enclosed are the foUowing: 

1. A true copy of the official regulation (Revision F12) which was published in the 

Virginia Register of Regulations on October 22, 2012 after being duly adopted by the State Air 

Pollution Control Board on September 14,2012, certified by the Office of the Attorney General 

as within the Board's statutory authority on September 18,2012 and thus fulJy enforceable under 

Virginia law, and submitted to the Virginia Registrar on behalf of the Board by the Department 

of Environmental Quality as a true and accurate copy of the duly adopted regulation on 

September 19, 2012. 

2. Certification of public participation activities and compJiance with state administrative 

procedutes. 

3. Public participation record. 

4. An electronic copy (CD) of the complete submittal. This electronic copy is an exact 

dupJicate of the hard copy. 

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let us know.

State Implementation Plan Revision - Ozone 

Classification and Implementation

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality 

(DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a 

proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a plan developed by 

the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under 

the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient 

air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. The Commonwealth 

intends to submit the regulation amendments to EPA as a 

revision to the SIP in accordance with the requirements of 

§ 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act.

Regulations affected: The regulations of the board affected by 

this action are as follows: 9VAC5-20-204 (Nonattainment 

areas) of Part I of 9VAC5-20 and 9VAC5-30-55 (Ozone) of 

9VAC5-30.

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of 

whether the regulation amendments should be submitted as a 

revision to the SIP.

Public comment period: February 11, 2013, to March 13, 

2013.

Public hearing: A public hearing may be conducted if a 

request is made in writing to the contact listed below. In order 

to be considered, the request must include the full name, 

address, and telephone number of the person requesting the 

hearing and be received by DEQ by the last day of the 

comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any 

requested public hearing will be announced in a separate 

notice and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.

Public comment stage: The regulation amendments are 

exempt from the state administrative procedures for adoption 

of regulations contained in Article 2 of the Administrative 

Process Act by the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 4 c of the 

Administrative Process Act because they are necessary to 

conform to an order of the court or are necessary to meet the 

requirements of the federal Clean Air Act and do not differ 

materially from the pertinent EPA regulations. Since the 

amendments are exempt from administrative procedures for 

the adoption of regulations, DEQ is accepting comment only 

on the issue cited above under "purpose of notice" and not on 

the content of the regulation amendments.

Description of proposal: The proposed revision will consist of 

amendments to existing regulation provisions concerning 

ozone classification and implementation in accordance with 

EPA regulations published on May 21, 2012 (77 FR 30088 

and 77 FR 30160). The major provisions of the proposal are 

as follows: (i) the listing for the Northern Virginia 8-hour 

ozone nonattainment area in 9VAC5-20-204 has been revised 

in order to indicate the new classification of "marginal" for 

the 2008 standard, and (ii) a new subsection has been added 

to 9VAC5-30-55 to indicate that the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard will no longer apply to an area for transportation 

conformity purposes one year after the effective date of the 

designation of the area.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the 

public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 

CFR 51.102) and not any provision of state law. The proposal 

will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of 

Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in 

accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. It is planned to submit all 
General Notices/Errata

Volume 29, Issue 12 Virginia Register of Regulations February 11, 2013

1678

provisions of the proposal as a revision to the Commonwealth 

of Virginia SIP.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, 

fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments 

must include the full name, address, and telephone number of 

the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last 

day of the comment period. All comments, exhibits, and 

documents received are part of the public record.

To review regulation documents: The proposal and any 

supporting documents are available on the DEQ Air Public 

Notices for Plans website

Summary:

The Northern Virginia ozone nonattainment area was 

originally classified as moderate for the 1997 8-hour (0.08 

parts per million) ozone standard. The 8-hour ozone 

standard was revised to 0.075 parts per million in 2008, 

and on May 21, 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) accordingly established air quality 

designations for this standard (77 FR 30088). As part of 

this designation process, Northern Virginia has been 

classified as marginal for the 2008 standard. In addition, 

on May 21, 2012, EPA provided for the revocation of the 

1997 standard for transportation conformity purposes (77 

FR 30160). The list of nonattainment areas in 9VAC5-20-

204 and the 1997 standards for ozone specified in 9VAC5-

30-55 are amended to reflect these new federal 

requirements.
