There were no substantive changes to any specific portions of the CFR outside of the Code sections incorporated by Rules R307-210 and R307-214. A summary of every federal rule that is being incorporated by Section R307-101-3 can be found at http://www.deq.utah.gov/boards/airquality/docs/05May/May_4_2016_Packet.pdf (pgs. 56-57).

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There will be no compliance costs for affected persons because any changes are already federal law that must be complied with.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

Section R307-101-3 will not have a fiscal impact on Utah businesses. The changes in federal law will have to be complied with by Utah businesses regardless of whether the state incorporates them into its air quality rules. By incorporating the federal rules into state law, it makes the rules enforceable on a state level. It does not create additional requirements for businesses.
