    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 26-1-15 authorizes the Executive Director of the Department of Health to accept federal funding to operate the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Utah. 7 CFR Part 246 is the set of federal regulations under which the Utah WIC program operates, and these regulations require that Utah implement state-specific policies to operate the program.

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

    Comments were requested from the Utah Association of WIC Administrators (UAWA), the WIC Advisory Council, and the health officers of the local health departments regarding the five-year review of this rule. Only one comment was received stating that no changes were needed. No comments opposing this rule were received.

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

    This rule is needed to regulate the administration of the WIC program within the local health departments. This rule is also needed to outline how "high risk" status is determined for grocery retailers contracted to accept WIC checks. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
