STATE BOARD OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND
DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES
Small Business Impact Review - Report
of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the
State Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services conducted a small
business impact review of 12VAC35-230, Operation of the Individual and
Family Support Program, and determined that this regulation should be
retained in its current form. The State Board of Behavioral Health and
Developmental Services is publishing its report of findings dated January 17,
2019, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the
Code of Virginia.
The regulation is needed. Comments are in regard to the
application announcement timelines, the application process, eligibility
criteria, eligible applicant notification process, and how to prioritize those
most at risk of institutionalization. The regulation is not complex. It is a
straightforward structure for administration of the disbursement of funds. The
regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law
or regulation. This is the first periodic review of this regulation, which has
been in effect since January 16, 2014.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Public Hearing and Opportunity for
Comment on the Air Quality Plan
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
is seeking comments and announcing a public hearing on a proposed plan to
implement reasonably available control technology (RACT) in support of the 2008
ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in the Northern Virginia
Emissions Control Area. DEQ intends to submit the plan as a revision to the
Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance with the
requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP is the plan
developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under
the Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act.
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the overall plan
and on the issue of whether the plan meets RACT requirements for the Northern
Virginia Emissions Control Area in support of the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
Public comment period: February 18, 2019, to March 20, 2019.
Description of proposal: The proposal, which is a supplement to
a plan revision previously submitted on December 12, 2017, consists of the
following:
1. An analysis of the regulatory underpinnings of RACT for the
Northern Virginia Emissions Control Area, which consists of the Counties of
Stafford, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, and Fairfax and the Cities of
Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park.
2. Certification of the implementation of the control technique
guidelines (CTGs) and alternative control techniques (ACTs) within Virginia's
SIP for the Northern Virginia Emissions Control Area.
3. Negative declaration for the 2016 CTG for the Oil and
Natural Gas Industry in the Northern Virginia Emissions Control Area.
4. Recertification of certain RACT analyses previously submitted
in Virginia's SIP, where review of available data show that no additional
controls are necessary.
5. A commitment to submit as SIP revisions source specific RACT
determinations for those facilities where recertification of previous RACT
requirements was not appropriate.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the
public participation requirements of 40 CFR 51.102. The proposed RACT
implementation document 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.
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 no later than the last day of the comment period. DEQ prefers that comments
be provided in writing, along with any supporting documents or exhibits. Comments must be submitted to Doris A.

Assembly) requires DCLS to provide notice and an opportunity to submit written
comments on the revised fees.
The notice of fees for May 1, 2019,

How fees are calculated: DCLS
calculates a laboratory's total fee by adding the fees for the number of test
methods in each category in the fee table for which the laboratory is certified
or applies to be certified. Contact lab_cert@dgs.virginia.gov for more information about the fee category for a
specific method.
Additional fees:
Additional fees apply when a
laboratory:
• Applies for modification of certification under 1VAC30-41-110
• Is moving its location when the move requires DCLS to perform
an onsite assessment
• Requests reinstatement of certification when DCLS requires an
onsite assessment
Hourly review fee and calculation of
total fee: The fee to be charged is the sum of the total hourly charges for all
reviewers plus any onsite assessment costs incurred. The hourly charge per
reviewer is $66. The charge per reviewer is determined by multiplying the
number of hours expended in the review by $66.
Onsite review and travel expenses: If
an onsite review is required, travel time and onsite review time will be
charged at the same hourly rate of $66 and any travel expenses will be added.
When to pay: Payment is due at the time the application is made or
annually thereafter upon receipt of the invoice from DCLS. Annual billing precedes
the expiration of the current certificate.
How to pay: Fees may be paid by
check, draft, or postal money order payable to the Treasurer, Commonwealth of
Virginia or submitted electronically, if available. Payment must be in U.S.
currency, except that agencies and institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia
may submit interagency transfers for the amount of the fee. Laboratories may
also pay fees using credit cards. All fees must be sent to the following
address, or submitted electronically, if available: DCLS, Attn: Lab
Certification, 600 North 5th Street, Richmond, VA 23219. A fee payment form is
available on the Drinking Water page of the DCLS website at http://www.dgs.virginia.gov/dcls.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Intent to Amend Virginia State Plan
for Medical Assistance - Methods and Standards for Establishing Payment Rates
Comment period: January 28, 2019, to
February 27, 2019.
The Virginia Department of Medical
Assistance Services (DMAS) hereby affords the public notice of its intention to
amend the Virginia State Plan for Medical Assistance to provide for changes to
the Methods and Standards for
Establishing Payment Rates - Inpatient Hospital Services (12VAC30-70) and
Methods and Standards for Establishing Payment Rates; Other Types of Care
(12VAC30-80).
This notice is intended to satisfy the requirements of 42 CFR
447.205 and of § 1902(a)(13) of the Social Security Act, 42 USC § 1396a(a)(13).
A copy of this notice is available for public review from William Lessard,
Provider Reimbursement Division, Department of Medical Assistance Services, 600
Broad Street, Suite 1300, Richmond, VA 23219, or via email at william.lessard@dmas.virginia.gov.
Comments or inquiries may be submitted, in writing, by February
27, 2019, to Mr. Lessard and such comments are available for review upon
request. Comments may also be submitted, in writing, on the Virginia Regulatory
Town Hall public comment forum at http://www.townhall.virginia.gov.
Reimbursement
changes affecting supplemental payments to qualifying private hospitals: DMAS is
sunsetting language from the State Plan related to quarterly supplemental
payments for qualifying private hospitals for inpatient and outpatient services
rendered during the quarter. This sunsetting is to avoid conflicting with a new
supplemental hospital payment that covers a more comprehensive list of private
acute care hospitals. There will be no
impact on actual expenditures because the upper payment limit would limit what
DMAS can pay in total.
