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(3)(q) authorizes the Board to make rules to "meet the requirements of federal air pollution laws." Title V of the Clean Air Act requires the states to conduct operating permit programs for large sources of air pollution, and those programs must adopt the federal standards for power plants that are included in Title IV and 40 CFR Part 76 for acid rain. Rule R307-215 incorporates 40 CFR Part 76 by reference. Without Rule R307-215, Utah's authority to run the operating permit program would be revoked.

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 and the rule has not been amended in the last five years.

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

The rule is required under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7651-7661, and therefore, should be continued.
