EPA has also determined that the State’s primacy revision meets all of the regulatory requirements for approval, as set forth in 40 CFR 142.12, including a side-by-side comparison of the Federal requirements and the corresponding State authorities, additional materials to support special primacy requirements of 40 CFR 142.16, and a statement by the Arizona Attorney General certifying that Arizona’s laws and regulations adopted by the State to carry out the program revisions were duly adopted and are enforceable. Furthermore, Arizona has an audit privilege law and has provided a legal opinion that Arizona’s audit privilege law does not impact the State’s ability to implement or enforce its PWSS program. Therefore, EPA is tentatively approving the State’s revisions as part of Arizona’s PWSS Program. Public Process. Any interested party may request a public hearing on this determination.
