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:

Section 63-2-204 of the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) allows a governmental entity to make rules, pursuant to the Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act, specifying where and to whom requests for access to the entity's records shall be directed. This rule is enacted pursuant to that authority and is procedural in nature.

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

No written comments have been received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The rule should be continued in order to provide notice to the public regarding procedures to be followed in order to request access to government records in the possession of the agency. The Department of Public Safety receives hundreds of requests for records each year and this rule serves to standardize the procedures for complying with those requests, saving both the agency and the public time and money.
