Pursuant to Sections 1-0101, 1-0303, 3-0301, 19-0103, 19-0105, 19-0301, 19-0303, and 19-0305 of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) hereby gives notice of the following:
NYS DEC is proposing to repeal existing 6 NYCRR Part 240 (Part 240), Conformity to State or Federal Implementation Plans of Transportation Plans, Programs, and Projects Developed, Funded or Approved Under Title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Laws and replace it with a new Part 240, Transportation Conformity, and simultaneously revise 6 NYCRR Parts 200, General Provisions.
State Implementation Plan addressing Clean Air Act Sections 110(A)(1) and (2) for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard; Repeal and Replacement of Existing 6 NYCRR Part 240, Conformity to State or Federal Implementation Plans of Transportation Plans, Programs, and Projects Developed, Funded or Approved under Title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Laws with A New 6 NYCRR Part 240, Transportation Conformity; and Revisions to the State Implementation Plan
1. The NYS DEC is fulfilling its obligation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) by submitting an "infrastructure" SIP for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) that addresses each of the required elements of CAA section 110(a)(2), and affirms that New York's SO2 State Implementation Plan (SIP) meets the requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2).
On June 2, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency revised the primary NAAQS for SO2. The primary standard was revised to a level of 0.075 parts per million (ppm), averaged over one hour. Pursuant to CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2), each state must meet basic SIP requirements related to the attainment of a new or revised NAAQS. Section 110(a)(1) requires "a plan which provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement" of a primary and secondary NAAQS, while section 110(a)(2) lists the specific required elements. The required elements are described in CAA sections 110(a)(2)(A) through 110(a)(2)(M).
2. The NYS DEC is proposing to repeal existing 6 NYCRR Part 240 (Part 240), Conformity to State or Federal Implementation Plans of Transportation Plans, Programs, and Projects Developed, Funded or Approved Under Title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Laws and replace it with a new Part 240, Transportation Conformity, and simultaneously revise 6 NYCRR Parts 200, General Provisions, and revisions to the SIP to incorporate the proposed new Part 240 and attendant revisions to Part 200.
A Public Hearing will be held for these proposals at the following location and time:
