The purpose of this change in proposed rule is to add the effective date of the incorporate by reference of 40 CFR 52.01 in Section R307-405-3 which is consistent with the rest of the rule.
During the comment period, the Division of Air Quality staff discovered that there was one reference to a definition in 40 CFR 52.01 that did not specify the version of the CFR that should be used. The rule was changed to incorporate by reference the definition, effective 07/01/2006, to be consistent with the rest of the rule. (DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed amendment that was published in the May 1, 2007, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 18. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the change in proposed rule and the proposed amendment together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)
