Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: ORCAA proposes to add the Irondale/Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area to our Rule 6.2.3 which does not allow residential or land clearing burning in the listed locations.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: When the Irondale/Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area was established by Jefferson County in 2009, it became subject to WAC 173-425-040(2) which bans residential burning and land clearing burning in UGAs. Adding the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA to ORCAA's Rule 6.2.3 does not change existing rules.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 70.94 RCW.
Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 70.94 RCW.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: ORCAA, governmental.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. This agency is not subject to the Regulatory Fairness Act (chapter 19.85 RCW) because air pollution control authorities are not deemed state agencies (RCW 70.94.141).
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Air pollution control authorities are not deemed to be state agencies (RCW 70.94.141).
