The Bureau of Health Planning and Resource Management, Division of Public Health, Department of Health and Social Services, is proposing amendments to the 4104 Conrad State 30/J-1 Visa Waiver Program regulations.

Congress sought to reduce cancer and non-cancer health risks due to the exposure to hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Congress stipulated that the EPA implement a 2-phase rulemaking process to reduce health risks. In phase one, the EPA was to adopt emission standards based on currently available control technologies; these standards are referred to as maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards. In phase two, the EPA was to adopt additional standards based on an assessment of the health risks remaining after the implementation of the MACT standards and an assessment of the availability of new control technologies; these standards were referred to as risk and technology review (RTR) standards.
Delaware adopted the federal MACT standard (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart N) applicable to chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing facilities, as Section 6 of 7 DE Admin. Code 1138 on November 1, 2001.
In 2010 and 2011, the EPA undertook an extensive assessment and, on September 19, 2012, promulgated the RTR standard applicable to chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing facilities. The notable, more stringent changes to Subpart N included the lowering of the maximum allowable emission rate of chromium to the atmosphere, the prohibition of continued use of certain fume suppressants, and the addition of new housekeeping procedures.
This proposed amendment to Section 6 of 7 DE Admin. Code 1138 is being undertaken to incorporate the more stringent changes the EPA made to Subpart N, in order to reduce the public's exposure to chromium and to maintain the consistency of Delaware's air toxics regulatory requirements under Section 6 with national requirements under Subpart N.
In addition, the Department adopted Section 10 into 7 DE Admin. Code 1138 on November 1, 2009. That regulatory action was precipitated by the EPA’s adoption of a new area source air toxics standard under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart WWWWWW (Subpart 6Ws) on June 12, 2008, which was applicable nationally to metal plating and polishing facilities that emit cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, or nickel compounds.
In 2010, the EPA received numerable questions from individual metal plating and polishing facilities and their industry trade associations seeking clarifications and interpretations on various aspects of their original June 12, 2008 adoption of Subpart 6Ws. Following this dialogue and review, the EPA amended Subpart 6Ws on September 19, 2011. The primary change effected by the EPA’s amendment was a clarification that Subpart 6Ws did not apply to any bench scale activities. At the same time, the EPA 1) clarified industries’ confusion on applicability of Subpart 6Ws to various types of metal plating operations, 2) corrected portions of the original text that was prone to misinterpretation, and 3) corrected several technical errors.
This proposed amendment to Section 10 of 7 DE Admin. Code 1138 is being undertaken to incorporate the clarifications and corrections the EPA made to Subpart 6Ws (76 FR 57913, 9/19/11), in order to maintain the consistency of Delaware’s air toxics regulatory requirements under Section 10 with national requirements under Subpart 6Ws.
Statements and testimony may be presented either orally or in writing at a public hearing to be held on Thursday, June 27, 2013 starting at 6:00 PM in the DNREC Richardson & Robbins Auditorium, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to: Jim Snead, DNREC Division of Air Quality, 715 Grantham Lane, New Castle, DE 19720.
The Office of Child Care Licensing proposes to amend the Delacare Requirements for Residential Child Care Facilities and Day Treatment Programs in response to public comments received in response to Executive Order 36. That process elicited very limited public response. In response to that input the changes to existing regulations address only required staff training hours. A full review is planned in Fall 2013 at which time the normal process for revising regulations will occur. This will include the involvement of a wide cross-section of stakeholders, with all licensed programs participating. The review will examine best practices, regulations promulgated by other States, research on subjects related to residential and day treatment care and identified issues and services within existing programs within Delaware.
A copy of the proposed regulations is being published in the June 1, 2013 edition of the Delaware Register of Regulations. Interested parties wishing to offer comments on the proposed regulations or submit written suggestions, data, briefs or other materials concerning the proposed regulations must submit same to Elizabeth Timm, Office of Child Care Licensing, 1825 Faulkland Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19805 or by fax to 302-633-5112 by the close of business on June 30, 2013.
Pursuant to 24 Del.C. §4106(a)(1), the Delaware Board of Home Inspectors has proposed adoption of rules and regulations to implement its licensing law, Chapter 41 of Title 24 of the Delaware Code. In particular, the proposed rules and regulations set forth the process whereby applicants may qualify for licensure under the grandfather provision. Standards for continuing education are adopted. The rules and regulations set forth a code of ethics and standards of practice for licensees. The Board has also proposed adoption of a list of crimes substantially related to the practice of home inspection.
A public hearing will be held on June 24, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. in the second floor conference room B of the Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Dover, Delaware, where members of the public can offer comments on the proposed rules and regulations. Anyone wishing to receive a copy of the proposed rules and regulations may obtain a copy from the Delaware Board of Home Inspectors, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Dover, Delaware 19904. Persons wishing to submit written comments may forward these to the Board at the above address.
In accordance with 29 Del.C. §10118(a), the final date to receive written comments will be July 9, 2013, which is 15 days following the public hearing. The Board will deliberate on all of the public comment at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 10, 2013, at 9:30 a.m., at which time it will determine whether to adopt the rules and regulations as proposed or make changes due to the public comment.
