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:

This rule is made pursuant to Section 63F-1-206 which requires the Chief Information Officer to write rules setting standards for state agencies.

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 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:

The "utah.gov" identifier is intended to provide the following features to the State of Utah and its agencies: 1) the ".gov" sub-domain identifier is controlled by the Federal.gov domain registrar, thereby protecting state interests; 2) the State of Utah, Chief Information Officer's (CIO) office is responsible for issuance of all "utah.gov" subdomains, further protecting the integrity of the identifier; 3) the "utah.gov" identifier offers immediate recognition to constituents for developing credibility and confidence through a consistent interface; and 4) the "utah.gov" subdomain simplifies constituent access to state agency services. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
