AGENCY: Department of Environmental Quality/Air Pollution Control
TITLE: Notice of Rulemaking Docket Opening
PROPOSED: 03/18/2011
SUMMARY:
Editor’s Note: The following Notice of Rulemaking Docket Opening was reviewed per Laws 2010, Ch. 287, § 18. (See the text of § 18 on page 405.) The Governor’s Office authorized the notice to proceed through the rulemaking process on January 25, 2011.
[R11-17]
1. Title and its heading: 18, Environmental Quality
Chapter and its heading: 2, Department of Environmental Quality – Air Pollution Control Article and its heading: 18, Clean Car Standards
Section numbers: R18-2-1801 through R18-2-1812, and Appendix 13 (Sections may
be added, deleted, or modified as necessary.)
2. The subject matter of the proposed rule: The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is proposing to repeal the entirety of Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 18, Clean Car Standards. Arizona’s tailpipe emissions rules were originally adopted based upon a 2005-2006 Climate Change Advisory Group’s Recommendation for reducing greenhouse gases. Since that time, the federal government has adopted greenhouse gas emissions standards (Tier II), which are substantially similar to California’s low emissions vehicle requirements; however, California’s new zero emissions vehicle mandate is currently too costly or impractical for implementation in Arizona.
