RULE 

Department of Environmental Quality 

Office of the Secretary 

Ambient Air Standards for Particulate Matter 

(LAC 33:III.701, 703, and 711)(AQ288)

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, 

R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary has amended the Air regulations, LAC 33:III.701, 

703, and 711 (Log #AQ288). 

In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency revised the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 

particulate matter. The revised NAAQS address two 

categories of particle pollution: fine particles (PM2.5), which 

are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller; and inhalable 

coarse particles (PM10), which are smaller than 

10 micrometers. This Rule updates the Louisiana air quality 

regulations to include the revised particle standards. The 

EPA strengthened the 24-hour PM2.5 standard from the 1997 

standard of 65 micrograms per cubic meter to 

35 micrograms per cubic meter, and retained the current 

annual PM2.5 standard of 15 micrograms per cubic meter. For 

inhalable coarse particles, EPA retained the existing national 

24-hour PM10 standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter 

and revoked the annual PM10 standard. The basis and 

rationale for this Rule are to update the Louisiana air quality 

regulations to include the revised NAAQS for particulate 

matter to ensure continued protection of the environment 

and human health and welfare. This Rule meets an exception 

listed in R.S. 30:2019(D)(2) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); 

therefore, no report regarding environmental/health benefits 

and social/economic costs is required.

A. ... 

B. Particulate Matter. The purpose of this Chapter is to 

maintain concentrations of particulate matter in the ambient 

air at levels which will not cause damage or injury to plant 

or animal life. In addition to health considerations, 

attainment of the standards will result in economic and 

aesthetic benefits such as increased visibility and reduced 

soiling and corrosion.

SANDRA STEPHENS: 

Good afternoon. My name is Sandy Stephens, 

and I'm employed by the Louisiana Department of 

Environmental Quality. I'll be serving as hearing 

officer this afternoon to receive comments 

regarding a proposed revision to the State 

Implementation Plan, and amendments to the Air, 

Radiation Protection and Solid Waste regulations. 

The comment period for the State 

Implementation Plan revision b'egan on November 20, 

2007, and the comment periods for the regulation 

amendments began on December 20, 2007, when the 

potpourri notice and notices of intent were 

published in the Louisiana Register. The comment 

period will close at 4:30p.m., today, January 24,

2008, for the Log Number RP047ft, and at 4:30p.m., 

January 31, 2008, for the State Implementation Plan 

revision and for the Log Number AQ288 and SW046. 

It would be helpful to us if all oral comments 

received today were followed up in writing. 

This public hearing provides a forum for all 

interested parties to present comments on the 

proposed changes. This hearing is not being 

conducted in a question and answer format. Please

to allow you, the public, and opportunity to

amendments. 

I'll ask that each person commenting come up 

and sit at the front table and begin by stating his 

or her name and affiliation for the record. 

The next amendment is designated by the Log 

Number AQ288. 

In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency 

revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for particulate matter. The revised NAAQS 

address two categories of particle pollution: 

fine particles (designated PM2.5), which are 2.5 

micrometers in diameter and smaller; and inhalable 

coarse particles (designated PM10), which are 

smaller than 20 micrometers. This rule updates the 

Louisiana air quality regulations to include the 

revised particle standards. The EPA strengthened 

the 24-hour PM2.5 standard from the 1997 standard 

of 65 micrograms per cubic meter to 35 micrograms 

per cubic meter and retained the current annual 

PM2.5 standard of 15 micrograms per cubic meter. 

For inhalable course particles, EPA retained the 

existing national 24-hour PM10 standard of 150 

micrograms per cubic meter and revoked the annual

is to maintain concentrations of suspended particulate matter (particulate matter) in the ambient air 

at levels which will not cause damage or injury to plant or animal life. In addition to health 

considerations, attainment of the standards will result in economic and aesthetic benefits such as 

increased visibility and reduced soiling and corrosion.

FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT 

FOR ADMINISTRATIVE RULES 

RULE TITLE: Bylaws of the Advisory Committee to the 

Student Financial Assistance Commission 

I. ESTIMATED IMPLEMENTATION COSTS (SAVINGS) TO 

STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS (Summary) 

There are no implementation costs or savings to state or 

local governmental units due to the proposed changes. The 

proposed change reduces the Advisory Committee membership 

to 8 voting members, changes the method in which committee 

members are selected, and changes the method in which the 

committee's chairman and vice-chairman are selected. These 

changes will have a minimal impact on costs since the only 

compensation allowed for committee members is 

reimbursement of travel expenses, the number of members will 

be reduced and members will be allowed to decline 

reimbursement. 

II. ESTIMATED EFFECT ON REVENUE COLLECTIONS OF STATE 

OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS (Summary) 

Revenue collections of state and local governments will not 

be affected by the proposed changes. 

III. ESTIMATED COSTS AND/OR ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO 

DIRECTLY AFFECTED PERSONS OR NONGOVERNMENTAL 

GROUPS (Summary) 

There are no estimated effects on economic benefits to 

directly affected persons or non-governmental groups resulting 

from these measures. 

IV. ESTIMATED EFFECT ON COMPETITION AND EMPLOYMENT 

(Summary) 

There are no anticipated effects on competition and 

employment resulting from these measures.

NOTICE OF INTENT 

Department of Environmental Quality 

Office of the Secretary 

Ambient Air Standards for Particulate Matter 

(LAC 33:III.701, 703, and 711)(AQ288)

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, 

R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been 

initiated to amend the Air regulations, LAC 33:III.701, 703, 

and 711 (Log #AQ288). 

In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency revised the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 

particulate matter. The revised NAAQS address two 

categories of particle pollution: fine particles (PM2.5), which 

are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller; and inhalable 

coarse particles (PM10), which are smaller than 10 

micrometers. This Rule updates the Louisiana air quality 

regulations to include the revised particle standards. The 

EPA strengthened the 24-hour PM2.5 standard from the 1997 

32
Louisiana Register Vol. 33, No. 12 December 2007 2812

standard of 65 micrograms per cubic meter to 35 

micrograms per cubic meter, and retained the current annual 

PM2.5 standard of 15 micrograms per cubic meter. For 

inhalable coarse particles, EPA retained the existing national 

24-hour PM10 standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter 

and revoked the annual PM10 standard. The basis and 

rationale for this Rule are to update the Louisiana air quality 

regulations to include the revised NAAQS for particulate 

matter to ensure continued protection of the environment 

and human health and welfare. This proposed Rule meets an 

exception listed in R.S. 30:2019(D)(2) and R.S. 

49:953(G)(3); therefore, no report regarding 

environmental/health benefits and social/economic costs is 

required.

NOTICE OF INTENT 

Department of Environmental Quality 

Office of the Secretary 

National Source Tracking System Reporting Dates 

(LAC 33:XV.493)(RP047ft) 

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, 

R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been 

initiated to amend the Radiation Protection regulations, LAC 

33:XV.493 (Log #RP047ft). 

This proposed Rule is identical to federal regulations 

found in 10 CFR 20.2207, which are applicable in 

Louisiana. For more information regarding the federal 

requirement, contact the Regulation Development Section at 

(225) 219-3550 or Box 4302, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4302. 

No fiscal or economic impact will result from the proposed 

Rule. This Rule will be promulgated in accordance with the 

procedures in R.S. 49:953(F)(3) and (4). 

This Rule will update the state radiation regulations to 

coincide with a change in the federal regulations. As part of 

the National Source Tracking System (NSTS), reporting 

requirements for nationally tracked sources are listed in 10 

CFR 20.2207. This Rule changes the compliance dates for 

reporting transactions involving Category 1 and Category 2 

sources from November 15, 2007 and November 30, 2007, 

respectively, both to January 31, 2009. The National Source 

Tracking System rule requires licensees to report 

information on the manufacture, transfer, receipt, 

disassembly, and disposal of nationally tracked sources. This 

information will be entered into a computerized data base. 

The compliance dates for licensees to report initial source 

inventories was November 15, 2007, for Category 1 sources 

and November 30, 2007, for Category 2 sources. These were 

also the dates to start reporting source transactions for entry 

into the system. The NRC anticipated that system 

development and testing would be complete and the 

National Source Tracking System would be operational by 

November 2007. However, system development has taken 

longer than anticipated, and the system will not be ready to 

accept data by November 2007. Therefore, the NRC is 

revising the compliance dates for which reporting is to start. 

The requirements for both Category 1 and 2 nationally 

tracked sources will now be implemented by January 31, 

2009. This means that by this date any licensee that 

possesses a Category 1 or 2 level source must have reported 

its initial inventory and must begin reporting all transactions 

involving Category 1 and 2 sources to the National Source 

Tracking System. Requirements regarding compatibility are 

published under the Agreement State program. This change 

to the state regulations is needed to comply with the 

program. The basis and rationale for this Rule are to mirror 

the federal regulations and maintain an adequate Agreement 

State program. This proposed Rule meets an exception listed 

in R.S. 30:2019(D)(2) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, no 

report regarding environmental/health benefits and 

social/economic costs is required.

FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT 

FOR ADMINISTRATIVE RULES 

RULE TITLE: Interest Rates—2008 

I. ESTIMATED IMPLEMENTATION COSTS (SAVINGS) TO 

STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS (Summary) 

There are no estimated implementation costs or savings to 

state or local governmental units. This rulemaking places in 

rule the actual earnings realized by START account owners 

who invested in the Louisiana Principal Protection investment 

option and the actual earnings realized on the investment of 

Earnings Enhancements. This increase in START funds 

belongs to the account owner (it is not state general fund 

money), and no expenditure of state general funds is required. 

This rulemaking will also authorize the use of START funds to 

purchase computer technology. Since these are not state funds, 

there is no cost to the state due to this rulemaking. 

II. ESTIMATED EFFECT ON REVENUE COLLECTIONS OF STATE 

OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS (Summary) 

Revenue collections of state and local governments will not 

be affected by the proposed changes. 

III. ESTIMATED COSTS AND/OR ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO 

DIRECTLY AFFECTED PERSONS OR NONGOVERNMENTAL 

GROUPS (Summary) 

These changes adopt the actual interest rates for deposits 

made to the START Louisiana Principal Protection investment 

option and earnings enhancements for the year ending 

December 31, 2008. In addition, Louisiana families will benefit 

from the amendment that allows the purchase of computers, 

computer software, and computer equipment for calendar years 

2009 and 2010 with START Section 529 tax free funds. 

IV. ESTIMATED EFFECT ON COMPETITION AND EMPLOYMENT 

(Summary) 

There are no anticipated effects on competition and 

employment resulting from these measures.
