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:

Rule R914-2 is authorized by Section 72-10-117 of the Uniform Aeronautical Regulatory Act. That section requires UDOT to make rules regarding the licensing of aircraft and pilots to land and take off from county roads. Rule R914-2 details the eligibility, safety, and insurance requirements necessary for the use of county roads by aircraft.

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:

Rule R914-2 is necessary in order to establish the standards and circumstances under which a pilot and aircraft may safely utilize county roads for a runway. It sets forth what roads may be used in the county for aircraft and that aircraft use will only be made of county roads in the daylight hours. It establishes the necessary requirements a pilot must meet in order to qualify for a road landing license, and the necessity to show proof of insurance prior to licensing. The rule is required in order to maintain safety on Utah's roads. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
