2 296 Hearing State Corporation Commission Notice of Hearing on Proposed Administrative Regulations A public hearing will be conducted at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 30, in the first floor hearing room of the State Corporation Corporation Commission, 1500 S.W. Arrowhead, Topeka, to consider the adoption of the proposed revision of the Kansas motor carrier regulation K.A.R a. A summary of the regulation and its economic impact follows: K.A.R a. Hours of service. Prior to April 29, 2005, all regulations regarding motor carrier safety were encompassed in K.A.R On April 29, 2005, K.A.R was amended and the various safety regulations contained in K.A.R were separated into 13 new regulations, K.A.R a K.A.R m. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has recently determined that the state is not in compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) by not adopting 49 CFR Part 395, specifically Part 395.8(e) as written. As such, the state is in jeopardy of losing millions of dollars in Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) funding and Kansas highway funds. 49 CFR Part 395.8(e) states: Failure to complete the record of duty activities of this section or , failure to preserve a record of such duty activities, or making of false reports in connection with such duty activities shall make the driver and/or the carrier liable to prosecution. If a state fails to adopt the required federal regulations, identical to or within the tolerance guidelines for the FMCSRs and identical to the hazardous material regulations (HMRs), but enacts a law or regulation that results in an incompatible rule, the state will not be eligible for Basic Program Funds nor Incentive Funds. Simply, the state is at risk of losing a large amount of federal funding and programming if the state is found to be out of compliance with federal regulations. The commission anticipates no economic impact the implementation of this regulation. The commission anticipates impact on other governmental agencies or private entities and individuals because failure of the commission to be in compliance with FMCSRs means the state loses millions of dollars in federal grants and at least 40 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees that are funded MCSAP. Due to the nature of the regulation, the proposed revision of the regulation constitutes the least expensive and least intrusive means by which to protect the public interests in this area. This 60-day notice of the public hearing shall constitute a public comment period for the purpose of receiving written public comments on the proposed rule and regulation. All interested parties may submit written comments prior to the hearing to Laurie Pickle, Assistant General Counsel, State Corporation Commission, 1500 S.W. Arrowhead, Topeka, All interested parties will be given a reasonable opportunity to present their views orally on the adoption of the proposed regulation during the hearing.

Market, sixth floor, Wichita; KDHE Southeast District Office, 1500 W. 7th, Chanute; and Curtis State Office Building, Garden Level, IS Conference Room B, 1000 S.W. Jackson, Topeka. A public availability session will be held at 1 p.m. prior to the public hearing to provide persons an opportunity to review the findings of use attainability analyses (UAAs) used to establish designated uses. If an alternate hearing location is necessary, the hearing will be held in Room 530 of the Curtis State Office Building with an informational meeting being held prior to the hearing at 1 p.m. Following is a summary of the proposed amendments: K.A.R g is the classification and use designation section of the Kansas Surface Water Quality Standards. Designated uses of surface waters are listed in the Kansas Surface Water Register, which is adopted by reference in K.A.R g. The register identifies major classified streams, lakes and wetlands and the uses that are existing or attainable. In the period of April 1-October 31, 2004, 658 stream segments and 89 lakes were evaluated by a UAA to determine the appropriate use designation. Seventy-nine stream segments are proposed to be removed from classification, 352 stream segments are proposed as secondary contact recreation, and 223 stream segments are proposed as primary contact recreation. Two stream segments are proposed for expected aquatic life, and four stream segments have been rerouted and combined to form one segment. Eighty-seven lakes are proposed for irrigation, livestock watering, domestic water supply, industrial water supply and groundwater recharge, and two lakes are proposed for primary contact recreation and food procurement. There are no additional costs of compliance resulting from these changes in recreational use designations. The department estimates an annual cost to perform 500 recreational UAAs as required by K.S.A. 82a-2004 and amendments thereto to be $200,000 per year. Currently, this cost is funded by the State Water Plan and state general fund. The time period between the publication of this notice and the scheduled hearing constitutes a 60-day public comment period for the purpose of receiving written public comments on the proposed regulatory action. Comments should be submitted to Craig Thompson, KDHE, Bureau of Environmental Field Services, Suite 430, Curtis State Office Building, 1000 S.W. Jackson, Topeka, , or by to cthompso@kdhe.state.ks.us.
