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 student loans. These loans provide funds for students to attend an eligible institution of higher education. The business carried out by UHEAA involves processing applications for student loans which require personal identifying information. A privacy policy is needed to assure the safeguarding of such 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 have been received during or since the last five-year review.

 

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

Personal identifying information is received by UHEAA from each customer. The security of that information is necessary to protect and safeguard the identity of UHEAA's customers which include resident students and nonresident students and/or borrowers receiving student loan funds guaranteed by UHEAA. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
