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 Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a). Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a) authorizes the Air Quality Board to promulgate rules "regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources and the establishment of the maximum quantity of air pollutants that may be emitted by an air pollutant source". Rule R307-303 reduces PM2.5 and VOC emissions emitted from chain driven charbroilers in food service establishments by requiring installation, maintenance, and operation of catalytic oxidizers that reduce uncontrolled PM2.5 and VOC emissions.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
There have been no comments in opposition to or in support of this rule since the adoption of the 2015 amendments.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Rule R307-303 was amended one time since the rule was created. In 2015, the rule was amended, changing the word "contaminants" to "pollutants". Rule R307-303 is needed to restrict chain driven charbroilers from emitting uncontrolled PM2.5 and VOC emissions. Rule R307-303 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan (SIP), and cannot be removed from the SIP without EPA approval. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
