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 19-2-104 gives the Air Quality Board the power to control, abate, and prevent air pollution from all sources. Rule R307-403 is an air pollution permitting program that helps control, abate, and prevent air pollution. Rule R307-403 is also required by Section II, Review of New and Modified Air Pollution Sources, of the State Implementation Plan (SIP). This SIP is required under Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7410 and 40 CFR 51.165.

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 R307-403 is required by Section 19-2-108 and by Section II, Review of New and Modified Air Pollution Sources, of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), which is incorporated by reference under Rule R307-110. The SIP is required under Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7410 and 40 CFR 51.165. Without the SIP, EPA would be required to impose a federal implementation plan. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
