DAR File No.: 29120
Filed: 10/12/2006, 08:54
Received by: NLRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The Division and the Uniform Building Code Commission are proposing these amendments to: 1) increase the number of members on the plumbing advisory committee from seven to nine members; 2) reestablish the electrical advisory committee; and 3) adopt current versions of each of the nationally recognized codes and to update state amendments under each of the codes as needed as a result of adopting the current editions. The following codes are being replaced with current editions: 2006 editions replacing 2003 editions of the building code, plumbing code, mechanical code, residential code, energy conversation code and the fuel gas code; and replacing the 1994 NCSBCS (National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards) A225.1 manufactured home installation standard with the 2005 edition of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 225 and the International Code Council (ICC) manufactured home installation standard contained in Appendix E of the residential code. Also, it should be noted that once the Division and Commission have determined which of all of the rule filings affecting Rule R156-56 will be made effective, a nonsubstantive rule filing will be filed by the Division to update and correct all subsection numbers. (DAR NOTES: Another proposed amendment to Rule R156-56 is under DAR No. 29122 in this issue, November 1, 2006, of the Bulletin. The other filings for changes to Rule R156-56 are as follows: Section R156-56-704 under DAR No. 29074, Section R156-56-711 under DAR No. 29075, Section R156-56-704 under DAR No. 29078, and Rule R156-56 under DAR No. 29079 all in the October 15, 2006, issue of the Bulletin.)
Summary of the rule or change:
In Subsections R156-56-202(1)(b) and (g), after requests and comments from interested parties, the Uniform Building Code Commission recommended returning the plumbing advisory committee to nine members and reestablishing the electrical advisory committee. The affected parties wanted more input into the code adoption and amendment process in these two areas. In Section R156-56-701, changes in this section replace outdated codes with the current editions of the codes. In Sections R156-56-704, R156-56-705, R156-56-707, R156-56-709, R156-56-710, R156-56-711, R156-56-712, and the new Section R156-56-713, the changes in these sections are needed to adjust amendments to adoption of the current version of each code thus resulting in a number of technical amendments. As a general comment to the deletions shown, the deletions have resulted from the new code version incorporating requirements that now adequately address the concerns that were addressed in the prior amendments. In many cases, the new International Code Council (ICC) codes reflect the language of the Utah amendment, which had been forwarded to ICC, which was then considered and include in the various current editions of the codes. As a general comment to the changes shown, the changes have resulted from the new terms adopted in the international codes. The changes were made to correlate the Utah amendment to the current language in the international codes. As a general comment, the overall effect of the latest update is that the number and extent of Utah amendments are being reduced as a result of the international codes including many of the amendments that Utah had. In some cases the current edition codes adequately cover the subject but it wasn't exactly how the Utah amendment addressed the subject matter. The total number of Utah amendments will go down from 179 amendments to 177 amendments to the international codes. One exception to the overall reduction in number of amendments is the number of amendments to the residential code. The number of amendments to the International Residential Code (IRC) has increased not because of new requirements but because of incorporating amendments that were previously made in the building code into the residential code. These have included the snow load amendments in Section R301.2(5) and the plumbing tables at P2902.3 and P2902.3a. Including these amendments in the residential code enhances the correlation between the International Building Code (IBC) and the IRC. This assists persons who are only doing residential work in that these persons will not need to refer to both the building and residential codes to obtain the requirement in these areas.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
Section 58-56-1, and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a), 58-1-202(1)(a), 58-56-4(2), and 58-56-6(2)(a)
This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:
Deletes: the 2003 edition of the International Building Code (IBC); the 2003 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); the 2003 edition of the International Residential Code (IRC); the 2003 edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC); the 2003 edition of the International Mechanical Code (IMC); the 2003 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); the 1994 edition of NCSBCS (National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards) A225.1 Manufactured Home Installations; the 1997 edition of the Uniform Code For Building Conservation; the Guidelines for the Seismic Retrofit of Existing Buildings (GSREB) promulgated by the International Code Council; the Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings (GREB) promulgated by the International Code Council; and Table 1805.5(5) entitled "Empirical Foundation Walls", dated September 1, 2002. Adds: the 2006 edition of the International Building Code; the 2006 edition of the International Plumbing Code; the 2006 edition of the International Mechanical Code; the 2006 edition of the International Residential Code; 2006 edition of the International Energy Conversation Code; the 2006 edition of the International Fuel Gas Code; the 2005 edition of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 225 Model Manufactured Home Installation Standard; the 2006 edition of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC); the ASCE 31-03, Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings, promulgated by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); and the Table 1805.5(6) entitled "Empirical Foundation Walls", dated January 1, 2007
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The cost to purchase all of the current edition code books which are being updated will total approximately $550. The Division is unable to determine how many persons in state government would need to purchase the new code books which would result in a cost to state agencies and the state budget. The changes regarding increasing the plumbing advisory committee members from seven to nine members and the reestablishment of the electrical advisory committee will result in no costs or savings impact to the state budget as service on these committees is voluntary and members receive no per diem. Also, there may be an indirect effect on the state budget if the state were involved in construction projects which are subject to the particular code amendments. Overall the proposed amendments do not appear to add substantially to costs of construction.
local governments:
The cost to purchase all of the current edition code books which are being updated will total approximately $550. The Division is unable to determine how many persons in local governments would need to purchase the new code books. Also, there may be an indirect effect on the local government budgets if the local government was involved in construction projects which are subject to the particular code amendments. Overall the proposed amendments do not appear to add substantially to costs of construction.
other persons:
The cost to purchase all of the current edition code books which are being updated will total approximately $550. The Division is unable to determine how many persons involved in the construction industry will purchase the new codes books. The Division has determined that it is impossible to estimate the impact on either individuals or an aggregate impact because costs associated with the various technical amendments may vary depending on the type of project involved. However, overall the proposed technical amendments do not appear to add substantially to the costs of construction.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
The cost to purchase all of the current edition code books which are being updated will total approximately $550. The Division is unable to determine how many persons involved in the construction industry will purchase the new code books. The Division has determined that it is impossible to estimate the impact on affected persons because costs associated with the various technical amendments may vary depending on the type of project involved. However, overall the proposed technical amendments do not appear to add substantially to the costs of construction.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
The proposed amendments include the following: increasing the number of plumbing committee members from seven to nine members, reestablishing the electrical advisory committee (which had been eliminated last year), and adopting the current editions of national codes. The remaining amendments are intended to remove any duplication in the current editions of national codes and the Utah standards previously in place, to better correlate with the new editions, and to incorporate certain parts of the residential code for ease of reference. There appears to be no significant fiscal impact to businesses as a result of these amendments other than costs to purchase the updated code books. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director
