Public Comment Opportunity for Air Quality Plan

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed plan to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The Commonwealth 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 (42 USC § 7401 et seq.). The SIP is the plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the NAAQS promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether certain regulatory amendments that implement requirements for transfer of authority and requests for certain public hearings (Regulation Revision D22) should be submitted as a revision to the SIP. The regulatory action has not been amended; the revision consists of corrected SIP-specific materials.

Public comment period: May 5, 2025, to June 4, 2025.

Public hearing: A public hearing will be conducted if a request is made in writing to the contact listed in this notice. 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 amendments that are necessary to conform to Virginia statute are exempt from the standard regulatory adoption process by § 2.2-4006 A 4 a of the Code of Virginia. The technical corrections are exempt by the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 3 of the Code of Virginia. Because the amendments have already been adopted and are exempt from administrative procedures for the adoption of regulations, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issue cited under "purpose of notice" and not on the content of the amendments.

Description of proposal: Chapter 356 of the 2022 Acts of Assembly limits the authority of the State Air Pollution Control Board to the issuance of regulations and transfers the board's existing authority to issue permits, orders, and variances to DEQ. The regulations were amended accordingly under Regulation Revision D22; additional information is available from the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall at https://townhall.virginia.gov/L/ViewStage.cfm?stageid=9789.

As a proposed SIP revision, the adopted D22 amendments originally underwent public comment in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102(a); no comments were received, and the SIP revision was submitted on July 7, 2023. Subsequently, EPA determined that the SIP submittal incorrectly identified what provisions were intended to be part of the SIP and what provisions were not intended to be part of the SIP. The original submittal was withdrawn, and a corrected version of the SIP submittal is now undergoing a new public comment period prior to a new final submittal.

This comment period and the new SIP submittal are administrative in nature; no changes to the adopted regulations are proposed, and there is no impact to the environment.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102). The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. Provisions that are not pertinent to the SIP and, therefore, not being submitted as part of the SIP revision are identified.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email 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.

To review proposal: The proposal and any supporting documents are available on the DEQ Air Public Notices website at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/permits/public-notices/air. The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ contact listed in this notice. Members of the public may schedule an appointment to review the documents between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. of each business day until the close of the public comment period at the following DEQ locations:

1. Main Street Office, 22nd Floor, 1111 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 698-4000;

DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES

Revision to Fees for Drinking Water Laboratory Certification

- Final Notice -

The Department of General Services, Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS) published a general notice in 41:15 VA.R. 1719-1720 March 10, 2025, seeking comment on the revision to fees charged for certifying drinking water laboratories under 1VAC30-41-270 as required by subdivision I 2 of 1VAC30-41-270.

No comments were received on the revision to the fees. The revision to the fees will stand as published. The following fees are effective May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026, for drinking water laboratory certification under 1VAC30-41.

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 apply when a laboratory:

1. Applies for modification of certification under 1VAC30-41-110;

2. Moves location, if the move requires DCLS to perform an onsite assessment; or

3. 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 and any onsite assessment costs incurred. The hourly charge per reviewer is $82. The charge per reviewer is determined by multiplying the number of hours expended in the review by $82.

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 $82 and any travel expenses will be added.

When to pay: Payment is due when the initial application is processed 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 or credit card via an electronic payment portal provided by DCLS, or other payment arrangements may be made by contacting lab_cert@dgs.virginia.gov. All payments are made after an invoice is issued by DCLS in accordance with instructions on the invoice or in accordance with special arrangements made by contacting DCLS.
