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.

DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES

Request for Comments on Revision to Fees for Drinking Water Laboratory Certification

Public comment period: February 18, 2019, through March 20, 2019.

Request for comments on revision to fees for drinking water laboratory certification (1VAC30-41-270), effective May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020.

Purpose of notice and background information: The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS) is seeking comment on the revision to fees charged for certifying drinking water laboratories under 1VAC30-41-270.

1VAC30-41-270 I 2 requires DCLS to increase or decrease annually the fees charged for certifying drinking water laboratories using the Consumer Price Index-Urban percentage change average-average for the previous calendar year published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in January. The percentage change, average-average for 2018 is an additional 2.4%. See the table labeled "Historical Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U): U.S. city average, all items, index averages" in the following document (pages 3-4): https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables /supplemental-files/historical-cpi-u-201812.pdf.

The revised fees are exempt from the requirements of the Administrative Process Act. The Budget of the Commonwealth of Virginia (Item 74 C 3a of Chapter 2 of the 2018 Acts of 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, through April 30, 2020, will be published on the DCLS drinking water laboratory certification webpage at http://www.dgs.virginia.gov/dcls after consideration of submitted comments.

Public comment period: February 18, 2019, through March 19, 2019.

How to comment: DCLS accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail.

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.
