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 19-2-112 allows the executive director of the Department of Environmental Quality, with the concurrence of the Governor, to declare an air pollution emergency and order reductions in emissions of air pollutants. Rule R307-105 establishes the levels of air pollutants that create an emergency, as well as other factors used in determining that an emergency exists.

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 written comments have been received about this rule since its 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 R307-105 satisfies federal regulations implementing the Clean Air Act that prevent ambient pollutant concentrations from reaching certain levels that cause significant harm to human health and the environment. These requirements are found in 40 CFR 51.151. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
