RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
This rule change is being done to add "pound/pound" which was left out of the definition of "VOC content" when it was originally proposed.
Summary of the rule or change:
The change adds "pound/pound" as a unit that can be used to calculate VOC content. (EDITOR'S NOTE: The original proposed amendment upon which this change in proposed rule (CPR) was based was published in the July 1, 2017, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 91. 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 CPR and the proposed amendment together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)
Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a)
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
There is no cost or savings to the state budget as a result of this change because the change does not change the way the rule impacts the state.
local governments:
There is no cost or savings to local governments as a result of this change because the change does not affect the way the rule impacts local governments.
small businesses:
No cost or savings is expected for small businesses as a result of this change. The change is merely including a unit that can be used to calculate VOC content.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
Persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities will not be impacted by this change because the rule does not apply to them.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
There will be no added compliance costs because of this change. The change, adding "pound/pound" to the definition of VOC content, does not result in additional compliance costs because requirements of the rule otherwise remain unchanged.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
No fiscal impact is expected as a result of this change. The change is just including a unit that can be used to calculate VOC content. The requirements of the rule otherwise remain unchanged.
