AGENCY NOTE: 1The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is delaying the implementation and assessment of the new area source operating fees adopted in 2011. The Oklahoma Used Tire Recycling Act, 27A O.S., §§ 2-11-401 et seq., as enacted in 2011 in HB 1939 (effective July 1, 2011), is intended to supplement the agency's area source program. Consequently, the DEQ is delaying the implementation and assessment of the area source annual operating fees set forth in this Section (252:100-5-2.3). Instead, DEQ will continue to assess fees at the level identified in the version of the rule posted on its website at http://www.deq.state.ok.us/rules/100.pdf until it has had an opportunity to reevaluate fee requirements under HB 1939.
