Pursuant to Subsections 67-1a-2(1)(d), (e), and (f) of the Utah Code; the lieutenant governor shall ". . . keep custody of the Great Seal of the state of Utah; to keep a register of, and attest, the official acts of the governor; and to affix the Great Seal, with an attestation, to all official documents and instruments to which the official signature of the governor is required."

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 were received.

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

Since its conception, the Seal has been employed for specific governmental applications within the state's Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches. As the Keeper of the Great Seal, the Lieutenant Governor must retain rules for the Seal's lawful protection, application, and use. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
