GENERAL NOTICES/ERRATA
STATE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
Proposed State Implementation Plan Revision - Revision A14
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. The Commonwealth intends to submit the regulation to EPA as a revision to the SIP in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act.
Regulations affected: The regulation of the board affected by this action is Article 8 (Permits for Major Stationary Sources and Major Modifications Locating in Prevention of Significant Deterioration Areas) of 9VAC5-80 (Permits for Stationary Sources), Revision A14.
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether the regulation amendments should be submitted as a revision to the SIP.
Public comment period: June 16, 2014, to July 16, 2014.
Public hearing: A public hearing may be conducted if a request is made in writing to the contact listed below. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice, and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.
Public comment stage: The regulation amendments are exempt from the state administrative procedures for adoption of regulations contained in Article 2 of the Administrative Process Act by the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 4 c of the Administrative Process Act because they are necessary to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act and do not differ materially from the pertinent EPA regulations. Since the amendments have been adopted and are exempt from administrative procedures for the adoption of regulations, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issue cited above under "purpose of notice" and not on the content of the regulation amendments.
Description of proposal: The proposed revision consists of modifying provisions in the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) new source review regulation relative to significant impact levels (SILs) and a significant monitoring concentration (SMC) for particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5). On January 22, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted a request from the EPA to vacate and remand to EPA portions of the PSD new source review regulations establishing the SILs for PM2.5. The court further vacated the portions of the PSD regulations establishing a PM2.5 SMC. EPA modified its regulations accordingly on December 9, 2013, (78 FR 73698). In Virginia, where the state administers the NSR program under an approved SIP, the state must adopt and submit revisions to the SIP to reflect the rule revisions.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102) and not any provision of state law. The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. It is planned to submit all provisions of the proposal as a revision to the SIP.
How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. All materials received are part of the public record.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Additional Public Comment Period Regarding Revisions to Amending the Regulations Governing Driver Education and Repealing the Regulations Governing the Approval of Correspondence Courses for Home Instruction (Final Stage)
The Board of Education is in the final stage of amending the Regulations Governing Driver Education (8VAC20-340) and repealing the Regulations Governing the Approval of Correspondence Courses for Home Instruction (8VAC20-60).
The 2008 General Assembly adopted amendments that eliminated the requirement for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to approve correspondence courses for parents who homeschool their children. However, the Code of Virginia still requires that the Board of Education approve driver education correspondence courses for parents who homeschool their children. As a result of this action by the General Assembly, the Regulations Governing the Approval of Correspondence Courses for Home Instruction are no longer necessary, and the board proposed to move provisions about driver education correspondence courses to the Regulations Governing Driver Education. The board received no public comment on the proposed regulatory action.
However, during the executive review process, the board was advised that changes were needed regarding due process if a correspondence school's application is denied, or if the approval is revoked for good cause. The proposed amendments make changes to the due process provisions. Instead of a fact-finding conference and a hearing before a hearing officer, the amendments would provide for the Board of Education to review and reconsider the decision. To view the proposed amendments, please see http://www.doe.virginia.gov/boe/meetings/2014/05_may/agenda_items/item_h.pdf.
As the proposed changes are substantive, public comment is being sought through June 30, 2014. The board plans to take final action of the regulatory action at its July 24, 2014, meeting. For questions about this regulatory action, please contact the Department of Education's policy office at policy@doe.virginia.gov or (804) 225-2403. Comments may be submitted to policy@doe.virginia.gov or Virginia Board of Education, P.O. Box 2120, Richmond, VA 23218.
Contact Information: Melissa Luchau, Director for Board Relations, State Board of Education, P.O. Box 2120, 101 North 14th Street, 25th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 225-2924, FAX (804) 225-2524, or email melissa.luchau@doe.virginia.gov.
