    NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

    Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

    Section 211(m)(1) of the Clean Air Act required Utah County to implement an oxygenated gasoline program to bring it into attainment of the carbon monoxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard. Clean Air Act Section 175A(d) requires that maintenance plans assure prompt action to correct any violation of the standard that occurs after an area is re-designated to attainment, and mandatory Clean Air Act requirements such as an oxygenated fuels program must be included as contingency measures. Rule R307-301 remains in place in case the carbon monoxide health standard is violated in Provo or Ogden, in which case an oxygenated gasoline program could be reinstated based on the trigger measures in State Implementation Plan (SIP) Subparts IX.C.6.e(5)(a) and IX.C.8.f. The Utah Air Quality Board enacted this rule to comply with the Clean Air Act under the authority of Section 19-2-104.

    Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

    No comments have been received on this rule since the last five-year review.

    Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

    This rule should be continued because it is required for compliance with the Clean Air Act.
