You may also comment on the rule, and/or attend the public hearing. If no hearing is scheduled, you may request one - the agency may then schedule a hearing, and must do so if 5 or more persons request it. If you are disabled or need special services to attend a hearing, please notify the agency contact person at least 7 days prior to it. Petitions: you can petition an agency to adopt, amend, or repeal any rule; the agency must provide you with petition forms, and must respond to your petition within 60 days. The agency must enter rulemaking if the petition is signed by 150 or more registered voters, and may begin rulemaking if there are fewer.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None
AGENCY: 06-096 - Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 101, Visible Emissions Regulation
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2018-P157
BRIEF SUMMARY: Emissions into the ambient air from facilities, both licensed and unlicensed, are subject to visible emissions standards. These standards may be located in the Department's Ch. 101, Visible Emissions Regulation, in State-determined Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and Best Practical Treatment (BPT) determinations, and in federal National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and/or New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Emissions sources identified in this Chapter include sources which may not otherwise be subject to visible emissions requirements.
Currently, Ch. 101 includes up to two six-minute exemptions from visible emissions standards per three-hour period for certain regulated emissions units. As the result of legal action against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), such exemptions have been found to conflict with Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. As a result, the EPA has issued a State Implementation Plans (SIP) Call, identifying each state and state rule deemed in conflict with such CAA requirements. This proposed rulemaking rectifies language and requirements to bring the chapter in compliance with the SIP Call and CAA requirements.
Ch. 101 was originally promulgated in 1972 and was most recently updated in 2003. Since that time, the Department and EPA have identified several revisions that will provide greater clarity and flexibility to the regulated sources while accommodating real and unavoidable fluctuations in operations. Changes in this proposed rulemaking are more consistent with applicable federal requirements and do not increase the regulatory burden on affected facilities.
The proposed changes include the following:
- Removal of the "unregulated" exemption periods and inclusion of new, alternate provisions for periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, allowing the option of compliance with work practice standards to minimize emissions during such times instead of a numerical opacity limit.
- Clarification of exemptions from the chapter, including units whose visible emissions are regulated through another State rule, visible air contaminants emitted for the purpose of visible emissions observer training, and visible air contaminants emitted for the purpose of Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems (PEMS) research that has been approved by the Commissioner and EPA.
- Clarification of the applicability of the annual capacity factor visible emission standard.
- Inclusion of a definition of distillate fuel, for the purposes of the Chapter.
- Removal of specific visible emissions standards for Kraft recovery furnaces, since all such units are subject to visible emission standards in applicable federal rules.
The Department may submit these amendments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval as an amendment to Maine's State Implementation Plan. Copies of these rules are available upon request by contacting the Agency contact person or on the DEP website at http://www.maine.gov/dep/rules/. Pursuant to Maine law, interested parties are publicly notified of the proposed rulemaking and are provided an opportunity for comment. Written comments may be submitted by mail, e-mail or fax to the contact person before the end of the comment period. To ensure the comments are considered, they must include your name and the organization you represent, if any.
PUBLIC HEARING: No public hearing is scheduled (there is a 30-day written comment period). A public hearing will be held if requested before the end of the comment period.

CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 10, Grievance Procedures for the Handicapped

BRIEF SUMMARY: The Maine Department of Health and Human Services proposes to repeal 10-14 CMR ch. 10, Grievance Procedures for the Handicapped. This regulation, last amended in 1986, does not adequately reflect current state and federal civil rights laws applicable to the Department. This regulation is being repealed and replaced by a more comprehensive Department policy in order to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 USC §2000d et seq., Title 11 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC §12101 et seq., Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 USC §701 et seq., Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, 20 USC ch. 38, Age Discrimination Act of 1975, 42 USC §6101 et seq., Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, 42 USC §18116, and Maine Human Rights Act, 5 MRS §4551 et seq. The Department has determined a Department policy is more appropriate and has recently adopted Policy # DHHS-03-18 Civil Rights Complaint Policy. This policy may be viewed at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/policies/index.htm.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to delete the Union Chemical Company Superfund Site, located in South Hope, Maine from the National Priorities List (NPL), which is Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). Deletion of sites from the NPL may occur once all response actions are complete and all cleanup goals have been achieved.
EPA and the State of Maine have determined that all appropriate Superfund-financed responses under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), have been implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate for the Site. Long-term monitoring will continue to assure that remedial actions conducted at the site to date continue to be protective of public health and the environment. This deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund if warranted.
The Federal Docket for the Union Chemical Company deletion contains the information to support the deletion. The public is invited to comment on the proposed decision to delete this Site from the NPL. The public comment period will begin on July 20, 2018, and extend for 30 days to August 20, 2018.
