Description Ecology is proposing to adopt a new rule, Ambient Air Quality Standards (Chapter 173-476 WAC), and repeal the following outdated chapters: 173-470 WAC Ambient Air Quality Standards (formerly Chapter 18-40 WAC), 173-474 WAC Ambient Air Quality Standards for Sulfur Oxides (formerly Chapter 18-56 WAC), and 173-475 WAC Ambient Air Quality Standards for Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, and Nitrogen. The Administrative Procedures Act (APA; RCW 34.05.328(1)(d), (e)) requires two types of analyses before adopting a significant legislative rule: a cost-benefit analysis and a least burdensome alternative analysis. This report provides the results of these analyses and shows the potential impacts associated with the proposed rule.
