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:

This rule is authorized by Subsection 26-15-2(8) which authorizes the Department to adopt rules and enforce minimum standards of sanitation to protect public health for roadway rest stops.

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

The Bureau of Epidemiology has not received any written comments indicating a need to revise the rule, but has received comments from the local health departments indicating a need to continue statewide enforcement of this rule.

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

The Utah Department of Health is required by statute to establish minimum sanitation standards for roadway rest stops. Additionally, the Environmental Health Directors at all 12 local health departments have indicated to the Department that there is need for this rule to remain in effect. This rule is currently being enforced by the local health departments statewide. Proper sanitation regulation of roadway rest stops remains important to protect the traveling public in Utah. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
