RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this amendment is to address issues that arose during the public comment period.

Summary of the rule or change:

Rule text change: Section R307-110-28 was amended to accurately state the adoption date of the Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (SIP) by the board. SIP text change: The reference within SIP Section XX.E.3.a(1)(a) was changed to refer to Section R307-250-2 where the term "WEB source" is defined. The SIP and rule text were modified to use a consistent terminology "early reduction bonus allocation". The milestone numbers in Table 8 were corrected to match the milestones that were developed through the regional process and are included in the model SIP. "(5-state, no smelter)" were deleted from the flow control example in provision Section XX.E.(3)(h)(2). Text was added to the end of Section XX.K.1 to clarify that the emission reductions are occurring throughout the state and will benefit all Class I areas that are impacted by emissions reductions from Utah. Clarification text was added to Section XX.D(6)(c) and (d) in response to comments received. All references to Appendix E have been replaced with Appendix B. Additional changes were made for cleanup purposes.
