pollution control programs. In FY2008, 

EPA awarded the WCDHD $632,694, 

which represented approximately 36% 

of the WCDHD budget. In FY2009, EPA 

will award the WCDHD $632, 649, 

which represents approximately 43% pf 

the WCDHD budget. 

Section 105(c) (1) of the CAA, 42 

U.S.C. 7405(c) (1) provides that ‘‘no 

agency shall receive any grant under 

this section during any fiscal year when 

its expenditures of non-Federal funds 

for recurrent expenditures for air 

pollution control programs will be less 

than its expenditures were for such 

programs during the preceding fiscal 

year. However, pursuant to Section 

105(c) (2) of the CAA, EPA may still 

award a grant to an agency not meeting 

the requirements of Section 105(c) (2), 

‘‘if the Administrator, after notice and 

opportunity for public hearing, 

determines that a reduction in 

expenditures is attributable to a nonselective reduction in the expenditures 

in the programs of all Executive branch 

agencies of the applicable unit of the 

Government.’’ These statutory 

requirements are repeated in EPA’s 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR 35 

140–35.148. 

WCDHD’s final Financial Status 

Report for FY08 indicated that 

WCDHD’s maintenance of effort (MOE) 

level was $1,711,833. The budgeted 

FY2009 MOE is $1,451,265. 

The projected MOE is not sufficient to 

meet the MOE requirements under the 

CAA Section 105 because it is not equal 

to or greater than the MOE for the 

previous fiscal year. In order for the 

WCDHD to be eligible to receive its 

FY2009 CAA Section 105 grant, EPA 

must make a determination (after notice 

and opportunity for a public hearing) 

that the reduction in expenditures is 

attributable to a non-selective reduction 

in the expenditures in the programs of 

all the Washoe County agencies. EPA, 

Region IX has yet to award the Section 

105 award for the FY09 to the WCDHD. 

The shortfall stems from an action 

taken by the Washoe County Board of 

County Commissioners in February 

2008, directing Washoe County agencies 

to reduce budget expenditures in order 

to make up for a budget deficit of 

$22,700,000. The budget cuts were not 

aimed solely at the Health District. Each 

entity in Washoe County was required 

to reduce budget expenditures, 

including police and fire protection 

services, etc. 

The Health District has five divisions: 

(1) Administrative Health Services 

(AHS); (2) Air Quality Management 

(AWM); (3) Community and Clinical 

Health Services (CCHS); (4) 

Environmental Health Services (EHS); 

and (5) Epidemiology and Public Health 

Preparedness (EPHP). Each division has 

borne a percentage of the total FY09 

reduction. The combined reduction in 

budgeted expenditures for the Health 

District in FY2009 (July 1, 2008 through 

June 30, 2009) totaled approximately 

$1,581,515 as summarized below: 

Division FY09 $ 

reduction 

FY09 % of 

total reduction 

AHS* ......... $(188,509) ¥11.89% 

AQM** ....... $84,000 5.32% 

CCHS ........ $1,105,569 69.91% 

EHS .......... $435,681 27.55% 

EPHP ........ $144,188 9.12% 

Total ... $1,581,515 100% 

* AHS ‘‘negative’’ reduction due to payout 

budget for organizational retirements $147,000 

and reorganization of personnel from CCHS 

and EHS to AHS (Department Computer Application Specialist, GIS Specialist, Account 

Clerk II, and Administrative Assistant II, 

¥41,509). 

** AQM reduction only reflects one vacancy 

Public Information Officer. However, two additional vacancies (Administrative Secretary Supervisor and Senior Air Quality Specialist) are 

anticipated to remain unfilled until funding is 

available. Therefore, three vacancies are reflected in FY09 anticipated MOE of 

$1,451,265. 

To meet the $1,057,965 reduction 

requirements for FY09, the Health 

District substantially reduced budget for 

personnel (¥$1,022,065) and minimally 

reduced budget for operating 

expenditures (¥$35,000). Ten positions 

were permanently abolished and the 

Health District is holding seven (7) 

vacancies ‘‘dark’’. The ‘‘dark’’ positions 

will remain vacant until sufficient 

funding is available. To meet the 

additional $532,550 reduction 

requirements for FY09, the Health 

District substantially reduced the budget 

for personnel: (¥$501,550) and 

minimally reduced the budget for 

operating expenditures (¥$31,000). The 

majority of the reduction came from the 

Family Planning Program local budget, 

which was reduced by 50%, or 

$372,250. 

The WCDHD’s MOE reduction 

resulted from a loss of revenues from 

the County to all agencies due to 

circumstances beyond its control. EPA 

proposes to determine that the WCDHD 

lower FY9 MOE level meets the CAA 

Section 105(c)(2) criteria as resulting 

from a non-selective reduction of 

expenditures. 

This notice constitutes a request for 

public comment and an opportunity for 

public hearing as required by the CAA. 

All written comments received by April 

22, 2009 on this proposal will be 

considered. EPA will conduct a public 

hearing on this proposal only if a 

written request for such is received by 

EPA at the address above by April 22, 

2009. If no written request for a hearing 

is received, EPA will proceed to the 

final determination. While notice of the 

final determination will not be 

published in the Federal Register, 

copies of the determination can be 

obtained by sending a written request to 

Roy Ford at the above address.
