SAN # 2008-09
Title of the Regulations:
Amendment to Regulation 1138 Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories
Brief Synopsis of the Subject, Substance and Issues:
Under Section 112(k) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment, Congress mandated that the EPA identify 30 or more hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that posed the greatest threat to public health in urban areas, to identify the small area sources that emit those pollutants and to develop regulations to reduce the emission of HAPs. In 1999, the EPA identified 33 HAPs that posed the greatest threat to public health and has, since that time, identified over 60 new area source categories for which regulations would be developed.
In December 2007, the EPA promulgated another area source standard affecting Delaware sources; the hospital ethylene oxide sterilizer standard under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart WWWWW.
The purpose of this proposed amendment to Regulation 1138 is to provide increased protection for Delaware citizens against a variety of adverse health effects, which includes problems in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and the irritation to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes as a result of exposure to ethylene oxide. In addition, ethylene oxide is classified as a probable human carcinogen based on cancer data, which shows increased incidences of leukemia, stomach cancer and cancers of the pancreas. The proposed amendment will provide greater consistency between Delaware’s air toxics standards and the recently promulgated federal standard (Subpart WWWWW) on which this proposed amendment is heavily based. In addition, this amendment proposes to include several more protective requirements that currently exist in either Delaware air permits or similar air toxic standards found in Regulation 1138.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND COMMENT PERIOD
3203 Seasons and Area Closed to Taking Horseshoe Crabs, and
3214 Horseshoe Crab Annual Harvest Limit
The Department adopted regulations (Order Number 2007-F-0044) effective November 11, 2007 to implement the horseshoe crab mandatory harvest provisions in Addendum IV of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Interstate Fishery Management Plan for the Horseshoe Crab. As a follow-up to this Order, the Department is proposing regulations designed to be in compliance with the provisions of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission Addendum V to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Horseshoe Crab. These regulations would extend for another year the prohibition on the harvest and landing of all horseshoe crabs in Delaware waters from January 1 through June 7, and prohibit the harvest and landing of female horseshoe crabs for the remainder of the year as well. During the period June 8 through December 31, up to 100,000 male horseshoe crabs may be harvested from approved harvest areas in Delaware. These harvest limits may be extended for a second year according to the provisions of Addendum V provided the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission elects to do so. In addition it is proposed that where beach collecting is presently legal, that beach collecting of horseshoe crabs to be allowed to continue until July 31 of each year. Since no harvesting is allowed prior to June 8, and most of the migratory shorebirds that feed on horseshoe crab eggs will have departed from Delaware Bay by then, there should be no additional impacts to shorebirds from allowing harvesting to extend beyond the last day of June until the end of July. By harvesting only male horseshoe crabs, females would be further protected and will be available to participate in the annual spawn without being subject to harvest at any point during the year. No other changes to reporting requirements or other horseshoe crab regulations are proposed.
This regulation may be extended for an additional year beyond 2009 pending approval by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.
Individuals may address questions to the Fisheries Section, Division of Fish and Wildlife, (302) 739-9914. A public hearing on these proposed regulations will be held in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Auditorium, at 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE at 7:00 PM on November 3, 2008. Individuals may present their opinion and evidence either at the hearing or in writing to Lisa Vest, Hearing Officer, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901 or via e-mail to Lisa.Vest@state.de.us. The hearing record will remain open for written or e-mail comments until 4:30 PM November 3, 2008.

8800 Boxing, Sparring Matches and Exhibitions
PUBLIC NOTICE
Boxing and Combative Sports Entertainment
Consistent with a recent statutory amendment, by passage of HB 501, which updated the authority of the Division of Professional Regulation, the Department of State, in accordance with 28 Del.C. Ch. 1, proposes to strike the existing regulations related to boxing, sparring matches and exhibitions in their entirety and establish new combative sports rules and regulations governing boxing and mixed martial arts.
A public meeting was held on August 13, 2008 to gather information for proposed rules. James L. Collins, Director of the Division of Professional Regulation, conducted the meeting. In addition to information gleaned in the preliminary meeting, the Director has also conducted a study of mixed martial arts (MMA) regulation across the nation. As a result of careful consideration of public comment and national research, the recommendation of the Director is to adopt conservative rules relating to amateur MMA. This approach will align Delaware's rules with most other jurisdictions that permit MMA and recognize that Delaware does not have an athletic or boxing commission; therefore regulation of events will be conducted by approved sanctioning organizations. Jurisdictions with more liberal rules strictly oversee events through a commission. It is the intent of the Director to have safe MMA events in Delaware that protect the participants and attendees.
A public hearing is scheduled for December 8, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. in the second floor conference room A of the Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Dover. The Director will receive and consider input in writing from any person concerning the proposed regulations.

The final date to submit written or oral comments shall be at the public hearing.

The Delaware General Assembly has enacted legislation granting the Delaware Public Service Commission ("Commission") the authority to make and enforce rules required by the federal Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, as amended (49 U.S.C. Chapter 601), to qualify for federal certification of a state pipeline safety compliance program relating to the regulation of intrastate gas pipeline transportation. The new legislation is found at 76 Delaware Laws Ch. 393.
In order to comply with the new legislation, the Commission is promulgating regulations, containing twelve sections, intended to govern the safety of the gas transmission and distribution systems, which are subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. The first section contains definitions of terms used in the regulations, for example, the classification of gas leaks. The second section incorporates by reference the pertinent provisions of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations which contain the minimum federal standards related to matters such as: (1) the design, fabrication, inspection, reporting, and testing of gas transmission and distribution systems; and (2) the drug testing inspection of natural gas pipeline utilities.
Two sections of the new regulations contain requirements for performing gas leak surveys, maintaining gas leak progression maps, and notifying the Commission and the local fire department in the event of gas leaks. One new section addresses Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) installations, including the adoption of the pertinent standards of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations related to their design, construction, operation, maintenance, protection, and security.
Five sections pertain to Commission procedures which apply to the operators of gas transmission and distribution systems. The five sections include provisions addressing: (1) the delegation of authority to the Commission Staff to carry out the day-to-day oversight of the systems; (2) the informal disposition of probable violations of the regulations; (3) the manner of giving formal notice of probable violations; (4) the response options of operators of the systems when notified of a probable violation; and (5) actions that might be taken by the Commission in the event a violation comes before the Commission for formal resolution.
One of the new sections sets forth the Commission's authority in the event a pipeline facility presents a hazard to life or property. The final provision addresses the Commission's authority to grant waivers from compliance with the federal Gas Pipeline Safety Regulations and the procedures to be followed by the Commission in ruling upon an application by an operator for a waiver.
The Commission has authority to promulgate the regulations pursuant to 26 Del.C. § 209(a), 29 Del.C. §10111 et seq., and 76 Delaware Laws Ch. 393 (2008)(26 Del.C. Ch. 8).
The Commission hereby solicits written comments, suggestions, compilations of data, briefs, or other written materials concerning the proposed regulations. Ten (10) copies of such materials shall be filed with the Commission at its office located at 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Cannon Building, Suite 100, Dover, Delaware, 19904. All such materials shall be filed with the Commission on or before November 7, 2008. Persons who wish to participate in the proceedings but who do not wish to file written materials are asked to send a letter informing the Commission of their intention to participate on or before October 30, 2008.
The regulations and the materials submitted in connection therewith will be available for public inspection and copying at the Commission's Dover office during normal business hours. The fee for copying is $0.25 per page. The regulations may also be reviewed, by appointment, at the office of the Division of the Public Advocate located at the Carvel State Office Building, 4th Floor, 820 North French Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 and will also be available for review on the Commission's website: www.state.de.us/delpsc.
