AGENCY: ACTION: Final rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the Utah Division of Administrative Rules (DAR) submitted by the State of Utah on May 21, 2020, May 28, 2020, November 3, 2020, and November 12, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. SUMMARY: I. Background The factual and legal background for this action is discussed in detail in our June 30, 2022, proposed approval (see 87 FR 39036). In that document we proposed to approve various revisions to the Utah SIP that were submitted to the EPA on May 21, 2020, May 28, 2020, November 3, 2020, and November 12, 2020. The proposal provides a detailed description of the revisions and the rationale for the EPA’s proposed actions. The revisions to the Utah Administrative Code address various State Implementation Plan (SIP) changes and updates. Specifically, we are approving clerical updates to the General Requirements, Permits, and Emissions Inventory rules, including updating the effective date of various code of federal regulations (CFR) referenced. Additionally, we are approving changes to several Permits rules including adding new definitions, clarifying testing methods, and specifying an emissions limit for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 microns (PM2.5) for emissions impact analysis. We are also approving the repeal and replacement of the Emissions Testing rule as well as approve a new rule related to abrasive blasting in particular matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 microns (PM10) nonattainment areas. We received one anonymous comment on this proposal which expressed general opposition to activities in the state that emit pollution, such as land ports, railroads, fracking, abandoned wells, and development of the Salt Lake City Valley. The commentor expressed support for ‘‘higher standards,’’ but did not provide any specific comments related to the proposed approval. After reviewing the comment, EPA has determined that it is outside the scope of this action and therefore, the EPA is not altering its proposed rulemaking. II. Final Action We are approving submitted revisions to R307–101. General Requirements., R307–150. Emission Inventories., R307– 165. Stack Testing., R307–306. PM10 Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas: Abrasive Blasting., R307–401. Permit: New and Modified Sources., R307–405. Permits: Major Sources in Attainment or Unclassified Areas (PSD)., and R307– 410.
