RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this change is to demonstrate that carbon monoxide levels will not exceed the federal health standard in Salt Lake City through 2019 and to specify a new Mobile Source Emissions Budget to be used for transportation conformity purposes (see separate filing on Section R307-110-33 in this issue.) (DAR NOTE: The proposed change to Section R307-110-33 is under DAR No. 27296 in this issue.)

Summary of the rule or change:

In Section R307-110-12, the change amends the date of adoption by the Air Quality Board to reflect the latest amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Carbon Monoxide. In the SIP, replace the existing Section IX.C.7 with the updated plan demonstrating continued attainment of the health standard for carbon monoxide in Salt Lake City through 2019. New Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets are established for 2005 and 2019 for conformity purposes, and other budgets in the existing SIP are deleted. The demonstration shows that vehicles six years old and newer can have their emissions tested every other year instead of annually without any risk of exceeding the federal health standard for carbon monoxide (see separate filing on Section R307-110-33 in this issue.)

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Subsection 19-2-104(2)(e), and Clean Air Act Section 211(m) (42 U.S.C. 7545(m))

State Implementation Plan, Section IX, Control Measures for Area and Point Sources, Part C, Carbon Monoxide

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

None of the control measures in the SIP are changed and thus there is no impact on the State budget.

local governments:

This change will have no effect on any local government, as there is no change in control measures

other persons:

There is no change in costs for any affected person, as there is no change in the control measures required in the Plan. Carbon monoxide levels are dropping rapidly as cleaner cars replace older vehicles.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There is no change in costs for any affected person, as there is no change in the control measures required in the Plan. Carbon monoxide levels are dropping rapidly as cleaner cars replace older vehicles.

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

More stringent federal emission controls on vehicles have reduced emissions of carbon monoxide to the point that computer modeling can demonstrate that Salt Lake City will comply with carbon monoxide standards through 2019. There is no change in costs for any affected business or individual.
