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) allows the Air Quality Board to implement the requirements of federal air pollution laws. Under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7411(d)), EPA issues standards of performance for existing sources at the time standards are issued for new sources, and states are required to prepare plans and rules to implement the standards for existing sources. Rule R307-222 implements the standards for existing Incinerators for Hospital, Medical, Infectious Waste, as required by 40 CFR Subpart Ce. The corresponding plan is incorporated by reference in Section R307-220-3. Rule R307-222 also includes necessary definitions, emission restrictions, control device specifications, and a compliance schedule, as required by 40 CFR 60 Subpart Ce.

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

Rule R307-222 was amended once since the last five-year review under DAR No. 30702. No comments were received on that amendment. No other comments have been received since the last five-year review.

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

Rule R307-222 is required by 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ce and the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7411(d). Therefore, this rule should be continued.
