ASSUMPTION
Waste Tires (Section 260.270)
Officials of the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Economic Development - Division of Motor Carriers and Railroad Safety stated that the proposal would have no direct fiscal effect on their agencies.
Coal-Fired Cyclone Boilers (Section 1)
Officials of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) stated the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the reduction of VOC emissions in ozone nonattainment areas (St. Louis) and in ozone maintenance areas (Kansas City) would likely be impacted. If the new requirements have fewer emissions reductions, those reductions would have to made up with new strategies. This could require the state to seek additional air pollutant reductions.

This provision expires on April 30, 2004, or upon revision of the pertinent state regulation, whichever occurs later.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This legislation would not affect Total State Revenue.
