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:

This rule was enacted under Section 19-2-104. Under Section 19-2-104, the Utah Air Quality Board is given the power to promulgate rules to prevent air pollution. Rule R307-130 prevents air pollution by providing penalties for people who are not in compliance with air quality rules, orders, or permits.

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

This rule has had no comments or substantive amendments 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:

This rule is necessary to implement the penalty structure that is set out in Section 19-2-115. The rule is also necessary because it puts the public on notice to how the penalty process would work in a non-compliance situation. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
