RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose is to demonstrate that carbon monoxide levels will not exceed the federal health standard in Ogden through 2021 and to specify a new Mobile Source Emissions Budget to be used for transportation conformity purposes (see separate filing on Section R307-110-35). (DAR NOTE: The proposed amendment to Section R307-110-35 is under DAR No. 27344 in this issue.)

 

Summary of the rule or change:

In Section R307-110-12, the change amends the date of adoption by the Air Quality Board to reflect the latest amendments to the State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide. In the Plan, the change replaces the existing Section IX.C.8 with the updated plan demonstrating continued attainment of the health standard for carbon monoxide in Ogden through 2021. New Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets are established for 2005 and 2021 for conformity purposes, and other budgets in the existing Plan are deleted. The demonstration shows that vehicles six years old and newer can have their emissions tested every other year instead of annually without any risk of exceeding the federal health standard for carbon monoxide (see separate filing on R307-110-35 in this issue).

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Subsection 19-2-104(2)(e), and the Clean Air Act, Section 211(m) (42 U.S.C. 7545(m))

 

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

State Implementation Plan Section IX, Control Measures for Area and Point Sources, Part C, Carbon Monoxide

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

None of the control measures in the Plan are changed, and thus there is no impact on the State budget.

 

local governments:

This change will have no effect on any local government, as there is no change in control measures.

 

other persons:

There is no change in costs for any affected person, as there is no change in the control measures required in the Plan. Carbon monoxide levels are dropping rapidly as cleaner cars replace older vehicles.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There is no change in costs for any affected person, as there is no change in the control measures required in the Plan. Carbon monoxide levels are dropping rapidly as cleaner cars replace older vehicles.

 

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

More stringent federal emission controls on vehicles have reduced emissions of carbon monoxide to the point that computer modeling can demonstrate that Ogden will comply with carbon monoxide standards through 2021. There is no change in costs for any affected business or individual.
