    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 and the establishment of the maximum quantity of air contaminants that may be emitted by any air contaminant source." Subsection 19-2-104(3)(e) states that the board may "prepare and develop a comprehensive plan or plans for the prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution in this state". Rule R307-250 is required to implement the provisions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), Section XX, the Regional Haze Plan (Plan). The Plan is required under 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart P, Protection of Visibility. The Plan requires a backstop trading program for emissions of sulfur dioxide from large sources, and Rule R307-250 sets forth the requirements sources will have to meet if the program is ever triggered.

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

    There were no comments in opposition to or in support of this rule since the last five-year review.
