Notice of Intended Action

Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)"b."

Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 455G.4, the Iowa Comprehensive Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Fund Board hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to rescind Chapter 5, "Determination or Adjustment of Cost Factor," Chapter 6, "Administration of the Environmental Protection Charge Imposed upon Petroleum Diminution," Chapter 10, "Restructuring of Insurance Board and Transfer of Assets and Liabilities of Insurance Fund," Chapter 12, "Guaranteed Loan Program," and Chapter 14, "Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank Fund," Iowa Administrative Code.

The rescissions of Chapters 5 and 6 implement 2016 Iowa Acts, House File 2464, which removed the authority to collect or administer the environmental protection charge (EPC). Chapters 10, 12 and 14 were created to implement Iowa Code sections 455G.11, 455G.10, and 455G.23, respectively, and each of these sections has since been repealed.

The purpose of these proposed amendments is to rescind rules for which the implementing statutes have been repealed.

Interested persons may submit comments orally or in writing by 4:30 p.m. on September 29, 2017, to the Administrator, Iowa UST Fund, 2700 Westown Parkway, Suite 320, West Des Moines, Iowa 50266; telephone (515)225-9263. Written comments also may be sent by fax to (515)225-9361, by e-mail to dale.cira@aon.com, or via the Iowa administrative rules Web site at https://rules.iowa.gov.

The Board does not intend to grant waivers under the provisions of these rules.

After analysis and review of this rule making, the Board finds that there is no impact on jobs.

These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 424 and sections 455G.11, 455G.10, and 455G.23; and 2016 Iowa Acts, House File 2464, sections 6, 7 and 8.
