RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this change is to add updated inventory data for non-road mobile sources of carbon monoxide emissions, and to clarify the language regarding the motor vehicle emissions budget for Ogden in the State Implementation Plan (SIP).

 

Summary of the rule or change:

There are no changes from the original proposed language in Section R307-110-12; all changes are in the SIP that is incorporated by reference by Section R307-110-12. In the SIP, the change clarifies the language regarding mobile source emissions budgets as reflected in the public comments. Other changes throughout the document also clarify the intent. As required by the Clean Air Act, the use of oxygenated gasoline is added as one of several possible contingency measures if carbon monoxide levels ever exceed the federal health standards; the choice of which contingency measure to implement would be made by the Air Quality Board after consultation with Wasatch Front Regional Council, and Ogden City officials. (DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed amendment that was published in the September 1, 2004, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 12. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the change in proposed rule and the proposed amendment together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)

other persons:

There is no change in costs for any affected person, as there is no change in the control measures required in the Plan. Carbon monoxide levels are dropping rapidly as cleaner cars replace older vehicles.
