Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Small Businesses and Local Governments 6 NYCRR Part 621 - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Home » Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Small Businesses and Local Governments 6 NYCRR Part 621
The revision to Part 621 is not expected to directly affect small businesses and local governments. Small businesses and local governments are currently required to comply with the requirements of both Parts 201 and 621 when submitting permit applications to the Department. There will be no change to this requirement as a result of this proposal.
Small businesses and local governments that own or operate a non-exempt stationary emission source are currently required to complete and file an appropriate permit application, consistent with the provisions of Parts 201 and 621, for the construction and operation of that facility. This requirement will not change as a result of these proposed revisions.
Small businesses and local governments are able to comply with the requirements of Part 621 without contracting with any professional services. In some cases however, small businesses and local governments may choose to hire a private consulting firm to assist them with meeting their obligations under Part 621. The decision to employ a consulting firm is voluntary, and any associated costs are incurred at the discretion of the affected facility.
The proposed revision to Part 621 is not expected to have an adverse impact on small businesses and local governments. New and existing facilities are already required to comply with Parts 201 and 621, and the scope of those regulations will not change as a result of the proposed revision.
Prior to this proposal, the Department solicited the input of potentially affected parties through a series of stakeholder meetings and outreach activities held as part of the rulemaking process for the concurrently proposed changes to Part 201. A fact sheet detailing draft changes being considered for Part 201 was distributed to potentially affected parties via the Business Council, and all feedback received was carefully considered. This proposal seeks only to make the language in these provisions consistent. In addition, interested parties will have the opportunity to review and comment on the Department's proposal as part of the formal rulemaking process.
Part 621 does not contain any technological requirements for affected facilities. In addition, the Department does not expect any change in the economic feasibility of Part 621 as a result of these revisions.
The proposed revisions to Part 621 do not require the imposition of a cure period because there are no changes to any existing violations or penalties, and no new violations or penalties are established.
