Phoenix, AZ ~ Phoenix, AZ - In a significant move towards cleaner air and sustainable economic growth, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conditionally approved proposed Rule 205 and opened a public comment period. This rule, championed by Governor Katie Hobbs, aims to reduce emissions in Arizona while also promoting advanced manufacturing.
Governor Hobbs expressed her excitement at the progress made on Rule 205, stating that it will not only deliver cleaner air for Arizona but also create jobs and support a sustainable economy. She looks forward to continued collaboration with the EPA, Maricopa County, and stakeholders to finalize the rulemaking process and protect sustainable growth in the state.
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers also praised the EPA's conditional approval of the emission reduction credit rule. He believes that this is an important step towards ensuring compliance with Clean Air Act regulations while still allowing for economic growth and diversification in the county. He acknowledges that there is still more work to be done but sees this as a positive step forward.

Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, echoed these sentiments. She sees the advancement of Rule 205 as great news for Arizona's high-tech economy and its continued sustainable economic growth. She also expressed appreciation for Governor Hobbs' leadership on this issue and emphasized the importance of collaboration between federal, state, and local partners.
Karen Peters, Cabinet Executive Officer for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), commended Maricopa County for their dedication and years of work with the EPA to reach this milestone. She believes that this proposed rule will unlock potential solutions for reducing emissions that contribute to ozone formation, ultimately protecting public health and the environment.
Rule 205 establishes a program that allows fleet owners/operators to generate emission reduction credits (ERCs) by retrofitting or replacing existing fleet vehicles with lower emitting ones while meeting ongoing requirements. These ERCs can then be used as offsets under the ADEQ's nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) program.
Overall, the conditional approval of Rule 205 is seen as a positive step towards cleaner air and sustainable economic growth in Arizona. With continued collaboration and dedication from all stakeholders, it is hoped that this rule will have a significant impact on reducing emissions and protecting public health. The public comment period for this proposed rule will remain open for a period of time before it is finalized.
