RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate by reference an addition and a modification to 40 CFR Part 745 into Rule R307-840. The rule addition to be incorporated allows the Division of Air Quality Lead-Based Paint Program primacy over administration of the federal Lead-Based Paint Pre-Renovation Education Rule in Utah. The modification provides additional procedural guidance to lead-based paint abatement contractors and lead-based paint training providers on notifying the Division of regulated lead-based paint activities performed in Utah.

 

Summary of the rule or change:

The Air Quality Board is proposing to incorporate by reference an addition and a modification to 40 CFR Part 745 into Rule R307-840. The rule addition to be incorporated is 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E, "Lead; Requirements for Hazard Education Before Renovation of Target Housing" which was originally published in the Federal Register on June 1, 1998 (63 FR 29907). This provision is already federally enforceable; the effect of this rule change is to allow enforcement of these standards by the state of Utah. The rule modification proposed for adoption is 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart L, "Lead; Notification Requirements for Lead-Based Paint Abatement Activities and Training" which was originally published in the Federal Register on April 8, 2004 (68 FR 18489). This modification provides additional procedural guidance to lead-based paint abatement contractors and lead-based paint training providers on notifying the Division of regulated lead-based paint activities performed in Utah.

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a)

 

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E, "Lead; Requirements for Hazard Education Before Renovation of Target Housing;" and 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart L, "Lead; Notification Requirements for Lead-Based Paint Abatement Activities and Training"

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The Division of Air Quality Lead-Based Paint Program will receive additional grant funding from EPA that will cover 100% of the cost of administering the Lead-Based Paint Pre-Renovation Education Rule outlined in 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E. The proposed modification related to 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart L is a clarification of established procedures. Because no additional requirements are being proposed, there are no anticipated costs to the state budget.

 

local governments:

40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E was originally published in the Federal Register on June 1, 1998 (63 FR 29907). This provision is already federally enforceable; the effect of this rule change is to allow enforcement of these standards by the state of Utah. The proposed modification to 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart L is a clarification of established procedures, and no additional requirements are proposed. Therefore, there are no anticipated costs to local governments.

 

other persons:

40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E was originally published in the Federal Register on June 1, 1998 (63 FR 29907). This provision is already federally enforceable; the effect of this rule change is to allow enforcement of these standards by the state of Utah. The proposed modification to 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart L is a clarification of established procedures, and no additional requirements are proposed. Therefore, there are no anticipated costs to other persons.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E was originally published in the Federal Register on June 1, 1998 (63 FR 29907). This provision is already federally enforceable; the effect of this rule change is to allow enforcement of these standards by the state of Utah. The proposed modification to 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart L is a clarification of established procedures, and no additional requirements are proposed. Therefore, there are no anticipated costs to affected persons.

 

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

Because businesses are already subject to regulations in 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart E, which is being proposed for incorporation by reference in Rule R307-840, no additional fiscal impact is anticipated. In addition, the proposed modification to Rule R307-840 helps clarify existing procedures. Therefore, no anticipated fiscal impacts are expected for businesses. Dianne R. Nielson, Executive Director
