Consensus Rule Making Determination
6 NYCRR Subpart 200.10 incorporates by reference the Federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) which appear in 40 CFR Part 63. The proposed rulemaking will update 6 NYCRR 200.10 to incorporate the new and amended NESHAP regulations which appeared in the July 1, 2005 Code of Federal Regulations.
The proposed rulemaking will also update Subpart 200.10 Table 2 “Delegated Federal New Source Performance Standards of 40 CFR 60” to incorporate two recently adopted federal regulations which New York State will implement and enforce. They include the new Guidelines for Existing Other Solid Waste Incinerators that were published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2005 and the amendments to the Guidelines for Existing Large Municipal Waste Combustors that were published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2006.
In addition to the amendments to Subpart 200.10, 6 NYCRR 200.9 will be updated to reflect the new and modified references in Subpart 200.10.
The proposed rulemaking adopts Federal standards only and does not impose additional requirements on regulated entities. Consequently, no person is likely to object to this rulemaking.
