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(1)(a) authorizes the Air Quality Board to make rules "...regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources..." Rule R307-101 includes definitions used throughout all the rules contained in Title R307 that are written under Section 19-2-104. Without these definitions, the remaining rules would be unenforceable.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Rule R307-101 was amended once since the last five-year review under DAR No. 30697. No comments were received on that amendment. No other comments were received since the 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:

Section R307-101-2 includes all the definitions that apply throughout all the rules contained in R307. Without them, the remaining rules would be unenforceable, so this rule should be continued. In addition, Rule R307-101 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan, and cannot be deleted without EPA approval.
