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 72-7-402 requires the department to issue rules designating any routes where it is permissible to use semitrailers that exceed 48 feet but are less than 52 feet in length. This rule sets out that designation.

 

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:

It is still necessary to restrict operation of extra-long trailers to certain routes for safety reasons. The current designation correctly lists those restrictions, therefore this rule should be continued.
