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:

Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a) allows the Air Quality Board to make rules regarding emission of air pollutants, and Subsection 19-2-104(1)(c) sets forth the kinds of information that sources of air pollution must provide, as addressed in Section R307-102-1. Section R307-102-4 is authorized by Section 19-2-113, and sets forth conditions under which the Air Quality Board may authorize variances from Title R307. The federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, requires that sources of air pollution not reduce the pay of any employee under certain circumstances, as addressed in Section R307-102-5.

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 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:

Rule R307-102 is needed to specify the conditions for issuing variances, for confidentiality of information submitted, and to require that information be made available to the Air Quality Board; and should be continued. In addition, Rule R307-102 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan (SIP), and cannot be removed from the SIP without EPA approval. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
