RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this change is to clarify, based on public comments, certain provisions in the ozone 8-hour maintenance plan of the state implementation plan, which is incorporated by reference in Section R307-110-13. This change in proposed rule (CPR) is part of revisions to rules related to the ozone maintenance plan (see separate filings in this issue.) (DAR NOTE: The other CPR filings are under: Section R307-101-2 (DAR No. 29000); and Rules R307-320 (DAR No. 29002); R307-325 (DAR No. 29003); R307-326 (DAR No. 29006); R307-327 (DAR No. 29004); R307-340 (DAR No. 29009); and R307-343 (DAR No. 29012) in this issue.)

Summary of the rule or change:

The changes include small corrections to the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in Table 1 and Figure 3, expand documentation of the source of emission inventories, and correct the VOC projection date from 2018 to 2014 in Figures 3 and 5. In addition, there is additional documentation of determination of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for VOCs and nitrogen oxides at Hill Air Force Base, PacifiCorp's Gadsby Power Plant in Salt Lake City, and the power plant operated by Kennecott Utah Copper. The State's commitment to inventory future emissions of nitrogen oxides and VOCs is changed from "periodically" to "every 3 years." Finally, the text is clarified to indicate that the plan will remain in place until amended or repealed, and that contingency measures can be triggered by a violation of the health standard even after 2014.
