\nDIVISION OF AIR QUALITY<\/p>\n
Notice of Rule Proposal<\/strong> Public Notice<\/b> The proposal is scheduled to be published in the New Jersey
\nLow Emission Vehicle (LEV) Program (N.J.A.C. 7:27-29), Repeal
\nof the National Low Emission Vehicle (N.J.A.C. 7:27-26) and
\nAmendments to Air Administrative Procedures and Penalties (N.J.A.C.
\n7:27A-3.10)<\/p>\n
\nTake notice that the NJ Department of Environmental Protection
\n(Department) is proposing new rules and amendments to its rules
\nregarding the New Jersey Low Emission Vehicle Program (LEV)
\nand the National Low Emission Vehicle Program (NLEV). New Jersey
\nproposes to repeal its obsolete National Low Emission Vehicle
\n(NLEV) Program rules (N.J.A.C. 7:27-26) and related provisions
\nin the Heavy-Duty Diesel New Engine Requirements Program rules
\n(N.J.A.C. 7:27-28). This proposal affects only the NLEV program
\nportion of the rules. Amendments to the Heavy-Duty Diesel New
\nEngine Program Requirements were proposed separately (see 33
\nN.J.R. 2381, December 20, 2004). In addition, as directed by
\nN.J.S.A. 26:2C-8.15, et seq., the Department is proposing a
\nnew subchapter 29 to implement the California Low Emission Vehicle
\n(LEV) program in New Jersey, and add related penalties at N.J.A.C.
\n7:27A-3.10, Air Administrative Procedures and Penalties. This
\naction is consistent with N.J.S.A. 26:2C-8.15 et seq., which
\nrequires the Department to promulgate rules adopting the current
\nCalifornia LEV program, and the Federal Clean Air Act, section
\n177 (42 U.S.C. \u00a7 7507), which grants the authority to other
\nstates to establish more stringent standards than the Federal
\nprogram by implementing the California program. This proposal
\nalso constitutes a proposed revision to New Jersey’s State Implementation
\nPlan (SIP) for attainment of national ambient air quality standards.<\/p>\n
