General Information
2. Rule or section catchline:
R307-110-17. Section IX, Control Measures for Area and Point Sources, Part H, Emission Limits.
3. Purpose of the new rule or reason for the change:
The purpose of the amendment to Section R307-110-17 is to amend the Utah State Implementation Plan, Subsections IX.H.11 and IX.H.12 Emission Limits and Operating Practices to comply with the Clean Air Act requirements for Serious PM2.5 nonattainment areas as listed in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 51, Subpart Z (40 CFR 51 Subpart Z). Section R307-110-17 incorporates amendments to Subsections IX.H.11 and IX.H.12 into the rule and shall be amended to change the Board adoption date to the anticipated adoption date of the amended plan.
4. Summary of the new rule or change:
This rule amendment is in response to feedback and direction provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency after the original submittal of the Utah Serious PM2.5 nonattainment area State Implementation Plan as
adopted by the Utah Air Quality Board on January 2, 2019. The following rule amendments are proposed: (1) Additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements under Subsection IX.H.11 General Requirements. (2) The
removal of source-wide PM2.5, NOx, and SO2 caps for four sources under Subsection IX.H.12 Source-Specific Emission Limitations. (3) The addition of new NOx limitations for the same four sources under Subsection IX.H.12
Source-Specific Emission Limitations. (4) Minor changes to reflect current process units at two sources under Subsection IX.H.12 Source-Specific Emission Limitations.

Fiscal Information
5. Provide an estimate and written explanation of the aggregate anticipated cost or savings to:
A) State budget:
This rule amendment is not expected to create additional costs or savings for the state government. These facilities are already permitted and inspected under existing rules and have existing stack testing requirements in place. Inspectors will be able to confirm compliance as part of normal stack testing processes.
B) Local governments:
This rule amendment is not expected to impact local governments; therefore, no costs or savings are anticipated.

C) Small businesses ("small business" means a business employing 1-49 persons):
This rule amendment is not expected to impact small businesses; therefore, no costs or savings are anticipated.
D) Non-small businesses ("non-small business" means a business employing 50 or more persons):
The Utah Division of Air Quality anticipates that these changes to the proposed rule will impact four non-small businesses. The impacts are described below. These changes will require new stack testing requirements on 12 emission units located across four non-small
businesses. Stack testing costs were calculated based on information submitted to the UDAQ as part of the BACT/BACM process in 2017 for the PM2.5 Serious SIP. Assuming an average of $5,441 for stack testing costs,
and accounting for inflation changes from 2017 to 2025, an average stack testing value of $7,071.38 was used. Stack tests will be required every three years. Therefore, for 12 units stack testing every three years across four
non-small businesses, the estimated impact will be $84,856.56 every three years.
E) Persons other than small businesses, non-small businesses, state, or local government entities ("person" means any individual, partnership, corporation, association, governmental entity, or public or private organization of any character other than an agency):
This amendment does not apply to persons other than small business, non-small businesses, state, or local government entities; therefore, no additional costs are expected because of these changes.
F) Compliance costs for affected persons (How much will it cost an impacted entity to adhere to this rule or its changes?):
Compliance costs will consist of additional stack testing for four non-small businesses. The impacts are described below. Compliance costs are estimated at $84,856.56 every three years for additional stack testing requirements.
