TITLE 9. ENVIRONMENT
STATE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the State Air Pollution Control Board conducted a small business impact review of 9VAC5-91, Regulations for the Control of Motor Vehicle Emissions in the Northern Virginia Area, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The State Air Pollution Control Board is publishing its report of findings dated October 1, 2019, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
The regulation continues to be needed. Motor vehicles are the single greatest source of pollutants in the northern Virginia area. This program helps to ensure that vehicles operate as cleanly as possible by periodically verifying vehicle emissions control systems are operating properly. Maintenance and repair of emissions control systems on vehicles minimizes the impact vehicle emissions have on air quality.
No comments were received during the comment period.
The regulations specify the requirements for motor vehicle emissions inspections in the northern Virginia area and include the frequency of inspection, the type of testing to be conducted, and the emission standards that must be met. Most newer vehicles subject to the program have their on-board diagnostic systems tested while other subject vehicles have their tailpipe emissions tested. Certain vehicles may also be tested using remote sensing technology and may be required to have a confirmation test conducted at an emissions inspection station based on their on-road emission results. Due to the numerous types of tests that may be used to evaluate a vehicle's emissions, the regulations may be viewed as complex.
The Clean Air Act Amendments passed by the U.S. Congress in 1990 required Virginia's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to enhance the vehicle emissions inspection program in order to keep improving air quality and to reduce emissions further. In compliance with this federal mandate, DEQ has designed the program for maximum convenience, efficiency and reliability. Virginia's program does not conflict with federal or state laws or regulations.
These regulations were last amended in 2018 and were also amended in 2015, 2013, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2005, and 2002. These regulations have been periodically updated to maintain consistency with requirements of state law and to incorporate advancements in vehicle emissions testing technology.
These regulations contain a provision that allows certain vehicles to be tested using remote sensing technology. This provision helps minimize the impact the regulations have on some vehicle owners, including vehicles owned by small businesses.

Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Safety and Health Codes Board conducted a small business impact review of 16VAC25-35, Regulation Concerning Certified Lead Contractors Notification, Lead Project Permits and Permit Fees, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Safety and Health Codes Board is publishing its report of findings dated September 18, 2019, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
The regulation has three goals:
1. Reduce the incidence of material impairment of the health of Virginians due to exposure to lead in the workplace or as an environmental pollutant.
2. Require certified lead abatement contractors to notify the government of lead abatement projects and pay fees to cover the cost of administering the program.
3. The protection of the public's health, safety, and welfare with the least possible cost and intrusiveness.
The regulation provides the identification of certain lead abatement projects and the tracking of active projects. Section 40.1-51.21 of the Code of Virginia requires that at least once a year, during an actual project, the Department of Labor and Industry conduct an on-site, unannounced inspection of each certified lead abatement contractor's procedures in regard to the removal of lead-based paint. This inspection ensures protection of the health of the work. The regulation provides the identification of certain lead abatement projects and the tracking of active projects.

This inspection ensures protection of the health of the workers and also the health of the general public by controlling the release of lead into the environment or residence.
The regulation also provides a concise procedure for the notification and payment of fees associated with lead projects. The fees generated are designed to cover the costs associated with the compliance inspections conducted by the Department.
