Defend Colorado also asks theCommission to issue a declaratory order pursuant to § 25-7-105(11), C.R.S., and CommissionProcedural Rule § VI.H to direct the Division to prepare and submit documentation by May 1,2019 to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certifying that the DMNFR would bein attainment with the 2008 ozone NAAQS in 2018 “but for” the contribution of internationalemissions as contemplated by Clean Air Act § 179B(b), 42 U.S.C. § 7509a(b) (the “179B(b)demonstration”).Defend Colorado’s Petition should be denied for several reasons. First, under the applicablestatute and Commission Procedural Rule, Defend Colorado is not entitled to the remedy it seeksthrough the declaratory order process. Second, the Commission is not required to conduct a publichearing under the statutes, and for the purpose, cited by Defend Colorado. Third, the May 2019data certification discussed by Defend Colorado is not required to certify the DMNFR’s ozoneattainment status, nor is it the proper means by which to submit a 179B(b) demonstration. Fourth,there is no statute or rule requiring the state to submit a 179B(b) demonstration; it is entirelydiscretionary. Last, Governor Polis has considered this issue, and has determined that the bestpolicy for Colorado is to move forward with planning efforts under the 2008 ozone NAAQS.Accordingly, the Governor has directed the Division not to pursue a 179B(b) demonstration.Granting the Petition and issuing the declaratory or [ozone history...]off bs
