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(3)(e) states that the Air Quality Board may "prepare and develop a comprehensive plan or plans for the prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution in the state." Each section of Rule R307-110 incorporates by reference such a plan.

 

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 outside the comment period when Rule R307-110 has been amended. The rule has been amended once since its last review, under DAR No. 28545 that was published on 04/012006, and no comments were received.

 

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

The federal Clean Air Act requires states to adopt and enforce plans to reduce air pollution to levels that meet federal health standards, and to maintain those protective levels. If a state fails to adopt and enforce such a plan, then the federal government imposes a federal plan. Utah has preferred to adopt its own locally-developed plans, and to incorporate them by reference into Utah's rules in order that the plans are enforceable. Therefore, it is crucial that Rule R307-110 be continued, so that requirements of the plans are enforceable.
