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:

Statute authorizes the State Parks Board to make rules relating to boating safety equipment in Subsection 73-18-8(6): "The board may: (a) require additional safety equipment by rule; and (b) adopt rules conforming with the requirements of this section which govern specifications for and the use of safety equipment."

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 in support or opposition of this rule 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:

Statute requires certain motorboats to be equipped with a backfire flame control device while on the waters on the state. This rule is needed to detail the approved methods of backfire flame control. These requirements are consistent with US Coast Guard approved backfire flame control devices for boats nationwide. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
