*This table only includes fiscal impacts that could be measured. If there are inestimable fiscal impacts, they will not be included in this table. Inestimable impacts for State Government, Local Government, Small Businesses and Other Persons are described above. Inestimable impacts for Non-Small Businesses are described below.
Appendix 2: Regulatory Impact to Non-Small Businesses
There are approximately 252 Commercial Plumbers HVAC installers in Utah (NAICS Code 238222). If the installers of commercial boilers and pressure vessels choose to purchase the updated code books the cost would be $1,645 per set of books. Businesses that have commercial boilers and pressure vessels will be indirectly impacted by the cost of repairs when commercial boilers and pressure vessels are found to be in violation of the current standards. The violations and cost to repair them are inestimable. The codes books are updated approximately every two years.
Utah Labor Commissioner, Jaceson R. Maughan has reviewed and approved this fiscal analysis.
