🌍Kansas EPA Proposes New Emission Fees and Compliance Rules
Air Plan Approval; Kansas; Annual Emission Inventory and Fees
Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Operating Permits Program and the 112(l)plan submitted by the State of Kansas on February 20, 2023. The revised Kansas rules update the Class I emission fee and emissions inventory regulations, establish a Class II fee schedule and ensure that Kansas's Operating Permits Program is adequately funded. Approval of these revisions ensures consistency between the State and federally-approved rules and does not impact air quality.

The proposed rule introduces new regulatory compliance requirements for businesses in Kansas related to annual emission fees and inventories for air quality permits. Changes could impact financial planning due to increased fees from $53 to $56 per ton of criteria emissions starting in 2025 and introduction of new hazardous air pollutant fees.
