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 53B-12-101 authorizes the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority (UHEAA) to act as the guarantor in Utah of federal student loans. Prior to 07/01/2010, UHEAA guaranteed, funded, and serviced student loans for Utah students attending institutions of higher learning within and outside of Utah. UHEAA continues to own and service many of those loans of which the records contain personal identifying information. UHEAA's privacy policy and this rule are required to safeguard that personal information.

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 comments on this rule have been received during the past five-year period.

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

Privacy policies are required for any business or agency that receives and maintains personally identifiable information in the course of business transactions. As such, this rule needs to continue for UHEAA since UHEAA conducts loan servicing activities as a major component of its operations. These activities include maintenance of records that contain personally identifiable information. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
