Overview
DEQ initiated this rulemaking in compliance with Executive Order No. 2020-01, Zero-Based Regulation (EO 2020-01), issued by Governor Little on January 16, 2020. Pursuant to EO 2020-01, each rule chapter effective on June 30, 2020, shall be reviewed by the agency that promulgated the rule. The review will be conducted according to a schedule established by the Division of Financial Management, Office of the Governor (DFM), posted at https://adminrules.idaho.gov/forms_menu.html. This is one of the DEQ rule chapters up for review in 2023. The goal of the rulemaking is to perform a critical and comprehensive review of the entire chapter in an attempt to reduce overall regulatory burden, streamline various provisions, increase clarity and ease of use, and maintain state program approval.
This rulemaking also updates federal regulations incorporated by reference with the July 1, 2023 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) effective date. The July 1, 2023 CFR is a codification of federal regulations published in the Federal Register as of July 1, 2023. Adoption of federal regulations is necessary to maintain program primacy. Incorporation by reference allows DEQ to keep its rules up to date with federal regulations and simplifies compliance for the regulated community.
