Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor and Councilmen: The Iowa City Human Relations Commission, at their April.23,.1973 meeting reviewed a summary .report .submitted by Don Hoy, James Hess, and Mori Costantino,of their re-7 cent attendance at the Conference on Affirmative Action in ',Chicago.. This Conference was sponsored bythe U. S. Civil e v to be quit aluable to the mem service League and proved bers who attended. Following review of this report, the Commission moved that three of the recommendationsreport contained in that also be recommended to the City. Council for immediate re- view and, hopefully, implementation. The commission rec ommended that the City should immediately implement the. following threeitems: 1. immediately conduct a complete validation study on all test requirements for all jobs. This study should in- c a,ll written tests, job qualifications, physical, education- al, and experience requirements, and the interview procedure (including the receptionist, interviewer, advertising, inter- . view setting, application forms, etc.) This, should be started as soon as possible.. 2. Immediately develop and adopt goals and timetables for the implementation of affirmative action programs and hiring of minority employees. These goals should include numbers of minorities to be hired, testing validation, ad- vertising programst on-the-job training programs, and re- lated goals. Goal setting requires'a determination of the number of persons available in a job pool for each particular job, the number of those who are minorities and the number of jobs expected to be open. The goal would be based upon • that computation. If the pool for a particular job is 100 and 50 of that pool are black, and ten openings are antici pated, the goal would be to hire five blacks. 1 6,wl 11 " MEMORANDUM TO: Ray S. Wells, City, Manager FROM: Donald Hoy,, Chairman Iowa City ,Human Relations Commission MoriConstantino, Member Iowa, City Human Relations Commission James Hess, Assistant City Attorney Jean Hubbard ,I SUBJECT: U. S. Civil Service League Conference "Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Conference" Chicago, Illinois -March 26-27, 1973 EXPENSES: Registration $195.00 Travel Hotel $41.37 (city - 500 miles _ Meals. -_ $4.0:00. < TOTAL EXPENSE: $276.37 + travel. The conference was sponsored by the U. S. Civil Service League and was attended by about So persons. It's prime focus was the question of affirmative action programs in civil service systems. To that extent it was not particularly related to our situation. However, our group came away with several ideas which we believe should be of interest and concern, to the City. We are agreed that the City should: 1. Immediately conduct a complete validation study on all test requirements for all 'jobs. This study should include written tests, job qualifications, physical, educational and exper- ience requirements and the interview procedure (including the re- ceptionist, interviewer, advertising, interview setting, application forms, etc.). This should be started as soon as possible. 2. Immediately develop and adopt goals and timetables for the implementation of affirmative action programs and hiring PAGE ' TWO of minority employees. These goals should include numbers of mi norities to be hired, testing validation, advertising programs, on the job training program, and related goals. Goal setting requires a determination of the number of persons available in a job pool for each particular job, the number of those who are minorities and the number of jobs expected to be open. The goal would be based upon that computation. If the pool for a particular job is 100 and So of that pool are Black and 10 openings are anticipated, the goal would be to hire 5 Blacks. 3. Immediately commence a documentation of why the person hired was hired and why the minority persons applying were rejected. If such a, documentation cannot be made on the basis of merit, then the City should consider, as a policy giving selective preference to a'minority. 'the Central Thrust of the Conference A work force that is not representative of the community composition is evidence of past discrimination. It is U. S. national policy that governmental agencies lead the way to correct for past discrimination. Public employers must actively promote equal em- ployment opportunity in their work force. - William H. Brown, III, Chairman, U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is quoted: (1972 International Conference on Public Personnel Administration) Every time a black, Chicano, or a woman is ex- cluded from recruitment, hiring or promotion by the rigid operation of the system that does not in fact measure merit or job relatedness, the taxpayer is gyped and the principles of merit employment sabotaged. I look forward to, joining with you in a great com- mon effort to extend the concept of merit employ- PAGE THREE • • "/ ' ment and to assure that all government jobs are filled with, people who really can do their job regardless of race 1: religion, sex, color or na- tional origin.' Youhavemy best wishes for suc- cess in this great common endeavor, and my_pro- mise that if you do not succeed voluntarily, we will".use the full powers of the law 'recently passed by`Congress to encourage your compliance with whatever steps.are.necessary to obtain it. State and local agencies may believe they are operating, in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act because they have merit systems, but unless the merit system is strictly job related the result may be to exclude one group over another. According to the chairman of the U. S. EEOC: The important thing to this agency and the federal courts is that where discrimi- nation 'exists it. musty be eliminated'' and where such elimination requres a numerical remedy, it is part of the policy of our agency to obtain the remedy that ;has been approved: by the Supreme Court. Where discrimination exists, `it'must be entirely eliminated and the remedy adopted must be appropriate to such el- imination., In the 8th Circuit, the Court expressed itself in Carter vs. Gallagher as follows: . we think some, reasonable ratio for hiring minority persons who can qualify. under the revised qualification standards is in order for a limited period of time, or until there is a:fair'approximation of minority representation consistent with the population mix in the area, Such a proce- dure does not constitute a "quota system". . Some Affirmative Actions Suitable to Reduce Discrimination onincY 'nneifrec an mm�nc 1. Self Audit. Simply look at the statistical profile of your work orce. ote where minorities, or women are concentrated; 'PAGE;FOUR • where minorities and women are.practically absent. Look at your, job classification and pay plan and determine ,if 'jobs are classi- fied according to''skill, effort and responsibility. Analyze and .identify what particular practice tends to generate these dispari ties. 2. .Recruitment ordinarily relies on job announcements, local employment services, referrals from present employees and friends. If these sources produce a segregated recruitment pool, some change is necessary.' 3. Hirin standards and criteria may not be job related. For physexample, requiremen s o e uca conal leval, experience record, physical height and other dimensions and characteristics, residence, even arrest and conviction records, may have no necessary and realistic-connection,with qualifications for the job. Whereas, the applicant's volunteer experience in a bona fide community.or city-wide organization may be_,useful inperformingthel,job. Suit the hiring standards and criteria realistically to what is necessary . to do the job. 4. AL%pplication forms unnecessarily lengthy ,and complicated and wi"t _1mpossibTe and irrelevant questions not immediately and conveniently answerable, may,intimidate'or screen out minor- ity persons and women at the very start even before their quali- fications.for the job may be tested. S. Testing should be designed to disclose whether actual per- formance on. he job will be adequate. 6. Selective.certification. From a roster of qualified appli- cants, c oose-t a minora y person or female, if any, even though that person may not rank at the top of the list. Another example in the use of job-related selective certification is for positionswherepparticular abilities or qualities are needed - knowledge of the community to be served, its language and drene;.or perhaps; understanding the needs of dis children. advantaged . 7. U ward mobili—tJ_Lrams. For the person already employed, modify, restructure,a n_d_,_adT elements to the job experience so as to qualify and facilitate the upward transfer of that per- son. B. Promotions. Some job, classification systems may work to dis- criminate against minorities or females by locking categories of employees into certain kinds of jobs or job sequences; for -ex- ample, clerk,clerk-typist, clerk -stenographer, secretary, The discrimination may be initiated by assignment into such a job • sequence and then the discrimination is perpetuated by blocking • PAGE FIVE • transfer and promotion into another job sequence, 9. Review.Analyze and identify where the minority person or femaTe — applicant was screened out in placement or promotion. Keep records and initiate a correction in the procedure. Remember EEOC Chairman Brown's statement: The most important thing to remember is that discrimination needn't be a matter .of malicious intent. Not only the courts, but also the Congress have made it clear that general business rules and procedures may in themselves constitute systemic barriers to minorities and women. Examples of Corrective Practices Described,by Conference People Special training for receptionists, interviewers, test admini- strators and others who come in contact with applicants. Analyze each department's',statistical profile of employees. Study turnover figures, predict ict job openings, and set hiring s.an goals for minority persond women to correct past discrimi- nation. Use Pass -fail certification for establishing rosters of qualified persons. Analyze job relatedness of testing, application forms, educa- tional requirements, necessary experience, etc. Hire on a provisional basis where job isnot immediately avail- able and train to enter into higher levels. Elimimate from the application form: for example, marital status, number of children, rental or owned residence, religion, name of educational institution, require minimum age only - and only job-related information. Use tear -off application forms: for example - Medical info goes only to doctors unless otherwise required. Connviction info goes only to appropriate agencies. Elicit what the applicant feels important and job-related about Dear Sirs: I addressed myself to you during the last city counceil meeting of May 1 concerning the.no parking signs on both sides of seventh avenue between,MuscatinezAve. and Sheridan Avenue (one and one-half blocks. I again mentioned the petition xhicli has been signed,by,_approximately 45 people .living in this area and affected by the no parking signs. I also offered two alternatives-to.having no parking signs,on both sides of seventh along this part of seventh avenue and someone mentioned that >I should submit these two alternatives to the council'so they 'could be acted upon. The two alternatives in order of preference are as follows.' 1. A return to no parking along seventh in this area only on the East side of the street. (This Was the policy for the three years that I have been living here). 2. No parking signs along both sides of seventh avenue in the area being considered, but the no parking signs on the west side would be in affect only from 8-5 otclock on Mondary through Friday. AGAIN I WISH TO REMIND YOU THAT THE AREA IN QUESTION IS NOT ALONG A.. BUS ROUTE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE SAME STREET, JUST THE NEXT BLOCK SOUTH,.

This was the letter you had submitted to them a week earlier and the Council requested that your letter be specifically referred to the City Managor for discussion with the Council at next week's Council meet- ing. Thank you for providing your comments to the Council in written form as they had requested you to do, and they will plan to further discuss this matter of parking on 7th Avenue at next week's meeting.

May I say that this relieves the enormous congestion that we have had in our parking lot until this time.. It is very much appreciated by myself and by the members of St. Paul Lutheran congregation. Your sympathy to our request and prompt action can ',only be commended. We want you to know that, we support your efforts to govern our city and most sincerely appreciate your considerations of us.

Court Iowa City, Iowa 52290 Dear Fifth and Sixth Graders: The Iowa City City Council received your letter request- ing comprehensive programs of recycling for glass and paper, at their may 8, 1973 Council meeting. The Council very much appreciated receiving this communication from you, and asked the staff here at the Civic Center to write to you and ex- plain the status of current recycling studies. The City staff, as well as the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality, has recently been underway with a. study of the feasibility of developing a glass and paper re- cycling program for Iowa City. This study has been underway for some £ime and a final report and recommendation as to the possibility of recycling in our community should be forthcom- ing within the near future. This study should show that possibilities might be developed in terms of recycling, and the possible ramifications as to cost and labor needed to carry out such a recycling program. Once that information is received by the Council, they will be able to make a decision as to the practical feasibility of setting up a recycling program. Again, thank you very much for taking the time and interest to send your comments on recycling to the City Council. With my best regards, I am Sincerely, Thomas H. Palmer. Administrative Assistant TIIP : ckb i 1 May 9, 1973 Ms. Monnie Higginbotham 426 South Johnson Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Ms. Higginbotham: The City Council received your letter concerning needed action to keep the alley cleaned up between South Johnson and South Dodge Streets at their May B, 1.973 Council meeting. The Council was concerned as to possible actions which could be taken to improve the situation which you spoke of and re- ferred your letter to the staff for further review and reco- mmendation as to possible actions which can be taken. Regarding your comments as to the need for more control of dogs running at large, especially„in gangs, and their knocking garbage cans over in the area of this alley, I wanted to indicate what the Director of Public Safety is doing to improve our animal control operation. The Director of Public. Safety has conducted recently some intensive review of needs in our animal control operation to more effectively enforce the ordinance. Mr. Epstein has indicated that he simply needs more full time help at the animal shelter, and is planning to ask for this help at the next budget review. He has hired an additional person to work half-time, so additional patrol can be obtained. He is especially concerned that Additional patrol- ling be done in the evenings and on the weekends. Mr. Epstein does plan to provide coverage of the City at the most critical times with the addition of this part-time person, especially in those areas which seem to have large concentrations of dogs running at large. Ile also has many other ideas to improve the quality of service as well as the enforcement of our animal control operation, and hopefully some of these measures may be implemented with additional fund- ing sources. I will let him know of your concerns about the animals running at large in the area of this alley between South John- son and South Dodge Streets so that our animal control staff can work toward improving this problem. Ms. Higginbotham -2- 426 South Johnson May 9, 1973 Iowa City, Iowa Thank you again for submitting your letter to the City Council, and I hope some improvements can be made in the area which you mentioned. With my best regards, I am Sincerely, Thomas if. Palmer Administrative Assistant THP : ckb CC: Dave Epstein boar Sir Jd As -a longtime PropertvpwnArand resident of: Newton Road, presented ,I a petition signed by 95% of thehb neig Ors requesting that all parking be taken off of Newton Road from the intersection of Woolf AvenueV,west to Highway 6. As we stated in the petition, this is a narrow street with three bus routes, as well as an ambulance route to the emergency rooms at University Hospitals. Also, cars parked along the- north side of Newton Road have proved to be a major obstruction to residents leaving either of two side streets, Lincoln and Valley avenues, as well as residents le I aving their It is virtually impossible to get out of our drivew ay because of cars parked along the side of the street. A person had to creep p out:cautiously almost to the center of the street, and then'ma, may have o -ba t 'back "suddenly y to avoid getting hit. I was advised that after considering the petition the Council had- agreed to prohibit parking only,in two `small areas, one area being a stretch ofroad fifty feet west of Lincoln' avenue, and another on . e be S ing, the area fifty feet west of Valley Avenue. qw- Inasmuch as there is 600 spade parking lot adjacent to,the new .:Dental Science Building, we feel that there is no need for this obstruct- ion to exist. I spoke with Mr. Hunzinger on the phone Fridav morning, and he had said that various rooming h6us-;6 and hotels were operated in this area, and that this might have had some boarin" on the decision that the Council had made. Powpver, I feel that since these people are doing this, that they should provide their customers and guests with this facility, and not obstruct the view of motorists. I know that there are certain laws and ordinances.governing the parking of hotel guests as well as apartment houses, and these state that the owner must provide parking for the pat I rons. ,The parking spaces that would-be involved in taking parking off in front of rooming houses would not be more than six or eight, and the advantages May 9, 1973 Mr. Clyde S.

The Council directed that a re next week's Council meetisolution'be prepared for Newton Road from Woolf tong which would remove parking on Council will at that ta point west of Valley.

Palmer Administrative Assistant y 1 ME140 FOR CITY MANAGER RAY WELLS AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUN CIL In the May 2 issub, of the Press -Citizen a news item about bus service read in part. "But Mr. Wells warned against a hasty decision to expand the system". He is aRur�ggl ' The proposed/1-Test-Benton route, extending from Mark IV Apartments to the Bon Aire Trailer Court, would have a total length (round trip) of 17 miles, as compared with 11.6 miles traveled by the present West Benton-Towncrest bus. To give 30 minute service would reouire 3 buses. Certainly Iowa City would not be justified in buyimg three new buses to set un a new route such as the proposed Rundell -West Benton route. One serious objection to the proposed new route is that the buses would need to cross the Rock Island tracks at a pbint where the drivers couldn't go around a block and under an overpass when a'train was on the tracks. A long; slow-moving freight train could hold up the bus as much as 10 minutes. This no doubt wouldn't happen too often, but since there would be no way of predict- ing when it would happen, the uncertainty would make the, new Rundell bus one on which the people couldn't depend to get them to work, to class, to appointments and to the transfer point on time. Besides; there would always be the risk that some driver, anxious to keep on schedule, would take a chance which could result in loss of life, permanent disability and a smashed bus. A bus to the Bon Aire Trailer Court should stay on the south side of the tracks and should help get bus service to areas which now do not have good service. This ,would include ,the Kirkwood Avenue area east Of, Summit Street, Kirkwood Circle, Kirkwood Place, the Lafferty Addition, Parts of the Regan Addition and the industrial plants on Lower Muscatine Road. It, doesn't look as though this proposed new route would be a paying pro- position. It probably wouldn't attract many new bus patronsbecause the vast majority of the area5between downtown and the Rock Island tracks are already within easy walking distance of one of the. existing routes. The one exception might be a part of the Muscatine Avenue -Friendship Street area, but that could be adequately taken care of by slight changes in the Towncrest and College Street routes. As for the west side of the river, Wardway can be taken care of by a change in the routing of the present West -Benton bus; and I -lark IV has 28 -minute service within two or three blocks of the complex. According to the news media. City Manager Wells favor: buying two new buses this year for spares, and not adding any new routes. As a taxpayer and bus patron I favor that too. Rovever, I a m also in favor of having each of our present buses serve as many people as possible, as was done during the many years that the system was under private ownership.; The following are three places where imnrovement could be made without adding any new buses and without adding to the length of the routes. 1. Adopt Alternative 1'1an.!Jo. 2, as submitted by :!r. Fai,pas. This would change the present West Benton route from 2 -way to 1 -wry service, and so the side trip to Wardway could be accommodated, with return to downtown U,y way of Riverside Drive. According to bir. Pappas, the length of this new route would be approx. 5 miles, a.s compared with 5.6 miles of the present route. Wardway needs and should have bus service. 2. Send the Towncrest bus once each round trip over Muscatine Avenue between Rundell and F Streets. This route being shorter than the round -about one, e.'toh driver could save the 5 minutes he needs to make the round trin in 30 minutes. And the peoole on the round -about route would have .1 -way service. i i -2- 3. On the College Street route, continue an Friendship Street from Upland Avenue to Third Avenue, north on Third Avenue to Cburt Street. This would give better service to more people and would not increase the length of the route. Each of the above three suggested changes would provide 1 -way service on some streets instead of the previous 2 -way, service. There are already.a great many streets in Iowa City with 1 -way service, and if fuel continues to be scarce and high in price, it may become increasingly necessary to serve as many streets as possible with each bus. Besides, good one-way service can be better than 2 -way service that is not.so good. As for those who want to ride in the opposite direction, we have that situation in all marts of town too. For example, people in certain parts of Manville Heights who want to ride all the wavyto the City Park, St. Thomas ?,!core Church or Hancher Auditorium must first go down town and transfer back. The same is true of certain people on the North Dodge route who want to ridecto St. Wencesla us Church or the Eagle Market, etc. etc. Many popple solve such situations by walking two or three extra blocks once each round trip. Those who transfer back apparently don't complain people don'ttexpect.everytkinF for:150. Written by Della A. Grizel. ,1,7.12 13. �.'"

L. Brandt Mayor, Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Tim Thank you for your telegram urging my support of the Anderson amendment. I supported this amendment because it provides that those urban areas which cannot solve their transpor- tation problem by building more highways can instead use their already existing share of highway trust fund dollars on alternative modes of transportation such as rail and bus transit. In no way would the Anderson amendment affect existing allocation formulas, and it by no means increases highway funds allocated to urban areas. Yet it would permit the local areas to make their own judgment as to the needs of mass transit versus the needs of their highway system. Please pass these thoughts on to the City Council.

Richardson, we request a public hearing on the rezoning from 11113 to R2 of the vacant lot at the Southeast corner of the intersection of If Street and Sixth Avenue in Iowa City. Mr. Richardson has offered to pur- chase the property and intends to build two duplexes on it. The above request was on the agenda for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held April 12, 1973, and the City staff report recommended that the request be granted. The Commission deferred action, and asked the City staff to make an additional area study. The request was heard again at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held on April 26, 1973. The City staff report reversed the earlier decision and recommended den- ial of the request, and the Commission voted to deny the re- zoning. We would also ask that the members of the City Council be given copies of both of the City staff reports referred to in the preceeding paragraph. Sincerely, THE MEANS AGENCY, INC. ichard F.

One such proposed policy is that states be required to have authority to regulate the construction of what is termed "complex sources. " Complex sources are defined as the construction or modification of any facility in which automobile traffic would be associated with its use. Complex sources are construed to mean shopping centers; sports complexes; drive-in theaters, parking lots and garag"; residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional developments; amusement parts and recreational areas; highways; airports; sewer, water, power and gas lines, and the like. The proposed regulation would require that states have authority to review such construction and, where necessary, prevent such construction. if the review establishes that the complex source would prevent the attaining and maintaining of amhWrit air quality standards. We have successfully urged EPA to establish the regulation in such a way as to qualify local governments to have this authority if it is desired. Therefore, we urble you to review the proposed regulation and offer whatever comments you may have. You may wish to address your comments directly to EPA, or to the Division of Federal Affairs within NLC and USCM which will prepare a response on behalf of local government. The deadline for commenting is May S, 1973. Comments to be channeled through the National League of Cities and U. S. Conference of Mayors should be in by May S. aL �3g Allen E. Pritchard, Jr. Executive Vice President National League of Cities Sincerely, !cutive Director S. Conference of Mayors 1620 Eye Street, N,W., Washington D. C. 2(]006 / 202-293.7300 TITLE 40 - PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT CHAPTER I - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY SUBCHAPTER C - AIR PROGRAMS PART 51 - PREPARATION, ADOPTION, AND SUBMITTAL OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS Notice of Proposed Rulemakinq On August 14, 1971 (36 F.R. 15486), the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency promulgated as 42 C.F.R. Part 420 regulations for the preparation, adop- tion, and submittal of State implementation plans under 9110 of the Clean Air Act, as amended. Those regulations were republished November 25, 1971, (36 F.R. 22369) as 40 C.F.R. Part 51 On March 8; 1973 (38 F.F:. 6281), the Administrator issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that would amend those regulations. The amendments to 40 C.F.R. Part 51 are proposed herein and are designed primarily to ex- tend the requirements for review prior to construction or modification of sources or causes of air pollution. In 40 C.F.R. 51.18•, the original guidelines required States to have procedures for review of new stationary sources of air pollution to determine whether such new sources would interfere either with the attainment or main- tenance of a national ambient air quality standard or with the control strategy of the State adopted in its implemen- 2 tation plan. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 51.11(x)(4), States were also required to have the legal authority to prevent the construction or modification of such sources'where they would interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the national standards. As used in 40 C.F.R. 51.18, the term "stationary sources" generally has been interpreted to mean facilities that affect or may affect air quality primarily because of their own air pollutant emissions. It is generally re- cognized, however, that not only the types of facilities commonly known as stationary sources but also facilities such as airports, amusement parks, highways, shopping cen- ters, and sport complexes also affect or may affect air quality by indirect means, primarily by means of the mobile source activity associated with them. Such indirect effects on air quality may also have an impact on maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards. Accordingly, the proposal set forth below would require, with respect not only to "stationary'sources," in the traditional sense, but also certain other types of facilities, an assessment of both direct and indirect effects on air quality prior to their construction and modification and a determination as to whether there would be interference with maintenance of any national standard. In the Administrator's judgment, 3 this amplification of the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 51.18 is a step necessary to ensure the maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards, particularly for mobile sourco-related air pollutants, beyond 1975. The Clean Air Act requires that the national ambient air quality standards be attained and maintained through- out each air quality control region. The purpose of the review and determination procedures required under 40 C.F.R. 51.18 is primarily to insure that the national standards will not be violated in the vicinity of a major new facility. By avoiding local violations in this manner, it is anticipated that the need for periodic revisions of State implementation plans can be reduced or eliminated. In the absence of such procedures, implementation plan revisions affecting entire air quality control regions might be needed to eliminate localized violations of the national standards. Furthermore, such reviews and deter- minations will take place befocc the fact, while an imple- mentation plan revision would be undertaken after a vio- lation is detected; solving problems before the fact is likely to be less disruptive than subsequent action. It is recognized that, in many areas, local govern- mental agencies have the responsibility for final decision- making on applications for approval to construct or modify many types of facilities, buildings, structures, and installa- ti.onn. Providing for such decision- 4' malcinj at the local level is consistent with the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, the proposal set forth below would further revise 40 C.F.R. 51.18 to reflect the Ad- ministrator's intent that the procedures required by section 51.18 may be carried out by local governmental agencies; such agencies could include, but would not be limited to, air pollution control agencies. States still will be required to have legal authority to prevent the construction, modification, or operation of facilities which, either directly or indirectly, would interfere with maintenance of a national standard. It should be emphasized that the primary purpose of the review procedures is to insure that proposed projects are designed and located in a manner consistent with air quality requirements. If the proposed project would in- terfere with attainment or maintenance of a national stand- ard, changes in the design of the project, including ex- tension of existing mass trans t, for example, should be considered. Only if the project cannot be made compatible with air quality requirements would it be necessary to pre- vent the construction of it. The advance notice of proposed rulemaking published March 8, 1973 (38 F.R. 6281) listed several types of facilities which, because of adjunctive mobile source 5 activiLy, may :i.ndircctly affect air quality and therefore were among the types of facilities for which new source review might be appropriate. The proposed amendments to 40 C.F.R. 51.18 would not specify the types of facilities which must bu subject to review and determination. A protao:;ed Appendix 0 to 40 C.F.R. Part 51 would provide guidance to State and local agencies in determining which will. be covered. The Administrator is aware that other Federal laws require an assessment of the air duality impact of some of the types of facilities which t;ould be subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 51.18, if amended as proposed. For example, section 1.02(2) (C) of the National Envi.roronental Policy Act and section 109(j) of the Federal -Aid Ilighrray Act impose similar requirements with respect to certain type: of f•acil..iL-ies, notably highways and airports. To avoid duplication of data gathering and analysis, the Ad- ministrator urges responsible State or local governmental agencies to make use of such assessments, insofar as pos- sible, in satisfying the procedural requirements set forth in 40 C.F.R. 51.18. Such assessm::nts do not, however, re- lieve the State or local governmental agency responsible for approval/disapproval of construction or modification from fulfilling that responsibility in the s,nac manner as it E must for any other faci.li.Lics. Though noir required by the p,:oposecl amendments to 40 C.F.R. 51..18, greater. State and local attention to the regional air quality impact of growth clearly would be desirable in the long run. State and local agencic„ are encouraged to. initiate efforts to ma1:e a careful analysis of projected growth of population, indubtrial activity, and use of motor vehicles and estimate how such gro,t:h is likely to affect air. quality. Such efforts are of particular importance in air quality control regions where transportation control progr<-uns already are required to ensure attainment of the national standards for motor ve- hicle -related air pollutants. Finally, the Environmental Protection Agency intends to re-examine existing State plan provisions for the review of new "stationary sources." The scope of these provisions varies from State to State and region to .region. As a re- sult of this review, EPA will, if necessary, suggest or require a widening of the scope of review, i.e., that it apply to additional types of sources in cases where pre- sent exemptions from review seem unwarranted. The Agency is interested in soliciting specific com- ments concerning all of the issues raised by this proposal. The types of sources to be reviewed, the procedures for review, including the extent and manner of public parti- cipation in the process and the flexibility to be allowed to State and local governments in fulfilling this function, are of particular interest. Also of importance is any difficulty which States or local governments expect to experience in establishing the necessary procedures. These difficulties may include the problems of acquiring the legal authority necessary to comply with the require- ments. Comments are also invited on any issues not specifically mentioned in this proposal, but which any in- terested party believes is relevant to its form or con- tent. These amendments are being proposed pursuant to an order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Dis- trict of Columbia Circuit in the case of Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., et al. v. EPA, Case No. 72-1522, and seven related cases, which was entered on January 31, 1973, and modified on February 12, 1973. As required by tha.t order, these regulations must be promulgated no later than June 11, 1973. Subsequent to such promulgation, States will be required to submit their plan revisions to comply with these new requirements no later than August 15, 1973. After such submission, the Environmental Protection Agency the revisions and an additional two months to propose and promulgate regulations to replace any disapproved State procedures. Interested persons may participate in this rulemaking by submitting written comments in triplicate to the En- vironmental Protection Agency, Standards Implementation Branch, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, ' Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711. All rele- vant comments received not later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered. Receipt of comments will be acknowledged, but substantive responses to individual comments will not be provided. Comments received will be available for inspection at normal business hours at the Office of Public Affairs, 401 m Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460. The changes proposed by this notice, with appropriate modification, will be effective on republication in the Federal Register. This notice of proposed rulemaking is issued under the authority of 5301(a) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1657 et seq.). Date: April 13, 1973 Wil iam D. Ruckels aus v Administrator Environmental Protection Agency Part 51 of Chapter I, Title 40, of the code of Federal Regulations is proposed to be amended as follows: 1. In §51.1, paragraph (j) is revised to read as follows: §51.1 Deinitions (j) "Local agency" means any air pollution control agency, other than the State agency, and any other local governmental agency, which is charged with the responsibility for carrying out a portion of a plan. 2. In §51.11, subparagraph (a)(4) is revised to read as follows: §51.11 Legal Authority (a) * * * (4) Prevent construction, modification, or operation of a facility, building, structure, or installation, or. combination thereof, which directly or indirectly results or may result in emissions of any air pollutant at any location which will prevent the attainment or maintenance of the national standard. 3. Section 51.18 is revised to read as follows: §51.1.8 Review of New Sources and Modifications (a) Each plan shall set forth legally enforceable pro- cedures which shall be adequate to enable the State or a local agency to determine whether the construction or modi- fication of a facility, building, structure, or installation, or combination thereof, will result in violations of appli- cable portions of the control strategy or will interfere with attainment or maintenance of a national standard either directly, because of emissions from it, or indirectly, because of emissions resulting from mobile source activities associated with it. (b) Such procedures shall include means by which the State or local agency responsible for final decision making on an application for approval to construct or modify can prevent such construction or modification if it will result in a violation of applicable portions of the control strat- egy or will interfere with the attainment or maintenance of a national standard. (c) Such procedures shall provide for the submission, by the owner or operator of the building, facility, structure, or installation to be constructed or modified, of such in- formation on the nature and amounts of emissions to be emitted by it or emitted by associated mobile sources, location, design, construction, and operation of such facility, building, structure, or installation as may be necessary to permit the State or local agency to make the determination referred to in paragraph (a) of this section. (d) Such procedures shall provide that approval of any construction or modification shall not affect the responsibility of the owner or operator to comply with applicable portions of the control strategy. (e) Each plan shall identify the State or local agency which will be responsible for meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section in each area of the State. (f) Such procedures shall identify types and sizes of facilities, buildings, structures or installations which will be subject to review pursuant to this section. (g)(1) Such procedures shall provide that prior to -+nrnt74_� nr r?i-nnnrnvin? the ^On.^.trilrtinn nr. mn[ii F.lcat-2— of a facility, building, structure, or installation pursuant to procedures required by paragraph (a) of this section, the State or local agency will provide opportunity for pub- lic comment on the information submitted by the owner or operator and on the agency's analysis of the effect of such construction or modification on ambient air quality, in- cluding the agency's proposed approval or disapproval. (2) For purposes of subparagraph (1) of this paragraph, opportunity for public comment shall include, as a minimum, notice by prominent advertisement in the region affected. Such notice shall specify the availability for public inspection in at least one location in the region affected of the information submitted by the owner or operator and of the State or local agency's analysis of the effect on air quality, and shall provide for at least a 30-day period for submittal of public comment. (3) A copy of the notice required by subparagraph (2) of this paragraph shall also be sent to the Administra- tor through the appropriate Regional office. (h) Suggestions for developing procedures to meet the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section are set forth in Appendix 0. 4. In r.his parr-,. Appendix G is ddduLi a5 iuiivw5 APPENDIX 0 The following guidelines are intended to assist in the development of regulations and procedures to comply with the requirements of section 51.18. 1. With respect to facilities which would affect air quality primarily because of emissions arising from asso- ciated mobile source activity, review procedures should cover any facility which can reasonably be expected to cause or induce sufficient mobile source activity so that the resulting emissions might be expected to interfere with the attainment or maintenance of a national standard. The likelihood that there will be such interference will vary with local conditions, such as current air quality, meteor- ology, topography, and growth rates. For this reason, it is not desirable to establish definitive nationally applicable criteria as to the types or sizes of such facilities which should be reviewed. There are, however, certain types of facilities which generally should not be exempt from review procedures. Experience and estimating techniques have indicated that the air quality impact of certain types and sizes of sources is potentially significant regardless of their location. They include the types of highways and airports for which environmental impact state- ments are required under the National Environmental Policy Act; regional shopping centers, i.e., generally those with gross leasable area greater than 800,000 square feet; and sports complexes or stadiums expected to attract crowds of 25,000 or more people, who will be arriving or leaving with- in short time spans.) The above examples are not meant to be exhaustive. Local conditions must be considered in determining which, if any, other types of facilities will be subject to new source review. Others which should be considered include drive-in theaters, parking facilities, and amusement park and other recreational facilities of size and potential impact comparable to those facilities mentioned above. 2. Frequently, a substantial amount of information will be needed to make the determinations required by section 51.18. In addition to general information on the nature, design, and size of a facility, data on its ex- pected mode of operation also will be needed in order to estimate the types and amounts of air pollutant emissions likely to be associated with it. The operational data needed to make such estimates may include time periods of operation, anticipated numbers of employees and/or patrons, expected transportation routes and habits of employees and/ or patrons, and so on. Data'on present air quality, topography, and meteor- ology also will be necessary. In those cases where an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been or will be prepared under the National En- vironmental Policy Act or similar State or local laws, the EIS may well be an adequate basis for making the determina- tions required by section 51.18. Accordingly, agencies responsible for new source reviews are encouraged to make such use of EIS wherever possible in order to avoid needless duplication of information -gathering and analysis. EIS should be useful particularly with respect to highways and airports. In addition, with respect to highways, agencies I responsible for new source review pursuant to section 51.18 are encouraged to make use of data gathered and uant to section 109 (j) of the analyses performed purs Federal-Aid Highway Act. 3. The use of available modeling techniques for approximating the effects of point, area, and line sources of air pollution is suggested.
