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:

Section 19-2-108 states that "The board shall require that notice be given to the executive secretary by any person planning to construct a new installation which will or might reasonably be expected to be a source or indirect source of air pollution or to make modifications to an existing installation which will or might reasonably be expected to increase the amount of or change the character or effect of air contaminants discharged..." Subsection 19-2-104(1) states that the Air Quality Board may make rules "(a) regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources..." Rule R307-410 establishes procedures and requirements for evaluating the expected impact of emissions from new or modified sources that require an approval order under Rule R307-401. Rule R307-410 also establishes the procedures and requirements for evaluating the impact of emissions of hazardous air pollutants. These evaluations help to determine the control requirements necessary to attain and maintain the federal health standards for air quality. Subsection 19-2-104(3)(q) states that the Air Quality Board may make rules to meet the requirements of federal air pollution laws. Rule R307-410 is also required by Section II, Review of New and Modified Air Pollution Sources and Section XVIII, Demonstration of GEP Stack Height, of the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is required under Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7410 and 40 CFR 51 subpart I, and 40 CFR 51.118.

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 written comments have been received about this rule since its last review.

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

Rule R307-410 is required by Section 19-2-108, by Section II, Review of New and Modified Air Pollution Sources and by Section XVIII, Demonstration of GEP Stack Height, of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), which are incorporated by reference under Rule R307-110. The SIP is required under Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7410 and 40 CFR 51 subpart I, and 40 CFR 51.118. Without the SIP, EPA would be required to impose a federal implementation plan. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
