RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Division is proposing changes to the rule to adopt amendments to the building codes approved by the Uniform Building Code Commission after review by various subcommittees and to renumber the building code amendment sections to be more organized and easy to find. Over the years as new codes were added or new amendments were added, a new section was added in sequential order. With the addition of more codes over the years, the prior organization has become cumbersome to use. The newly renumbered building code amendment sections are organized as follows: Sections R156-56-700 through R156-56-703 will be used for the overall list of codes adopted or approved. Sections R156-56-800 through R156-56-819 will be reserved for amendments to adopted codes having statewide application. Sections R156-56-900 through R156-56-919 will be reserved for amendments to adopted codes having local jurisdiction application. The last two digits will correspond to the last two digits of Sections R156-56-800 through R156-56-819 so that a person can quickly determine if there are local amendments or statewide amendments in the same code. Sections R156-56-920 through R156-56-930 will be reserved for amendments to approved codes which are applicable only in local jurisdictions, again with the last two digits corresponding to the last two digits of statewide code amendments. All referenced subsections have been renumbered throughout as needed. This renumbering did not result in any change in substance to the amendments being renumbered. It should also be noted that this rule filing is one of four rule filings affecting Rule R156-56. Once the Division and Commission have determined which of all of the rule filings affecting Rule R156-56 will be made effective, a nonsubstantive rule filing may be filed by the Division to update and correct all subsection numbering. (DAR NOTE: The other filings for Rule R156-56 are: different changes to Rule R156-56 are under DAR No. 29863; changes to Section R156-56-704 under DAR No. 29864; and different changes to Section R156-56-704 under DAR No. 29865 in this issue, May 15, 2007, of the Bulletin.)

Summary of the rule or change:

In Section R156-56-401, adds a standardized building permit three-digit designation for additional compliance agencies which have been identified since this requirement was first enacted. In Section R156-56-701, makes corrections in section numbers. Section R156-56-704 becomes Section R156-56-801. In Subsection R156-56-801(23), a change is made to an existing amendment to the reference to garages from "located beneath" to "accessory to". Affected garages are not always located beneath but may be located side by side or have the building arranged in another manner. This proposed change clarifies the intent of the previous amendment. Section R156-56-711 becomes Section R156-56-802. In Subsection R156-56-802(1), a change is made to delete the reference to local amendments and to update new section numbers. In Subsection R156-56-802(23), the amendment to G2413.1(402.1) is being deleted. This amendment required a minimum natural gas service line of one inch. It was found that there are situations where the larger gas pipe size requirement of one inch is not necessary. Therefore, eliminating this amendment returns the requirement to the International Code Council (ICC) code requirement which states the size must be large enough to meet the demands that are made based upon the equipment installed. Section R156-56-707 becomes Section R156-56-803. Section R156-56-708 becomes Section R156-56-804. Section R156-56-709 becomes Section R156-56-805. In Subsection R156-56-805(3), the amendment to Section 402.1 is being deleted. This amendment required a minimum natural gas service line of one inch. It was found that there are situations where the larger gas pipe size requirement of one inch is not necessary. Therefore, eliminating this amendment returns the requirement to the ICC code requirement which states the size must be large enough to meet the demands that are made based upon the equipment installed. Section R156-56-706 becomes Section R156-56-806. Section R156-56-710 becomes Section R156-56-807. Section R156-56-714 becomes Section R156-56-808. Section R156-56-713 becomes Section R156-56-820. Section R156-56-705 becomes Section R156-56-901. Section R156-56-712 becomes Section R156-56-902. Subsection R156-56-902(1) is added with respect to local amendments only. The following new sections have also been added for local amendments to the adopted building codes: Sections R156-56-903, R156-56-904, R156-56-905, R156-56-906, R156-56-907, and R156-56-920. In Section R156-56-903, a local amendment affecting South Jordan is being added which requires certain types of backflow prevention when connecting to the city's culinary (potable) water system and also allied requirements for backflow prevention when a separate secondary (irrigation) water system is available. This backflow prevention is required to protect the drinking water supply form contamination.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 58-56-1, and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a), 58-1-202(1)(a), 58-56-4(2), and 58-56-6(2)(a)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The Division has determined that there should be no direct effect on the state budget as a result of the proposed amendments other than minimal costs to affected state agencies who need to reprint the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective.

local governments:

The Division has determined that there should be no direct effect on a local government budget as a result of the proposed amendments other than minimal costs to reprint the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective. However, South Jordan local government may see some increased costs, which the Division is unable to determine in an exact amount, to ensure compliance with a requested local amendment requiring certain types of back flow prevention when connecting to the city's culinary water system and also allied requirements for back flow prevention when a separate secondary water system is available.

other persons:

The proposed technical changes and section renumbering will not result in any significant impact on any party except as discussed further. The elimination of the one-inch minimum gas supply pipe will result in minor savings for a limited number of residences where a smaller pipe can be used. It is expected that the number of affected residences will be minor. Most residences in planning for existing and potential future uses would choose the larger pipe. It is much more costly to retrofit to a larger pipe than the cost to install a larger service pipe at the first instance. For those choosing to use the smaller pipe initially, they may face more than offsetting cost in the future if they should add to their residence. For example, this could happen if someone added a gas fireplace or other gas appliance at a later date. The local amendment for South Jordan may result in higher costs on initial installations of about $200 per affected residence but this cost may be offset by a higher cost required to retrofit to prevent back flow when the city culinary water customer hooks up to a secondary irrigation water system. When a municipality or water district has both a culinary and secondary water system where potential cross connection may occur, the culinary water system needs protection from potential contamination. It is not unusual for the secondary (irrigation) water system to be turned off from late fall to early spring. During this time, water users often will tie into the culinary system to water yards or other outdoor uses that are normally connected to the secondary water system. This double use if not correctly changed from one system to the other system, and without the required backflow prevention device, could result in backflow of secondary water into the culinary water system. Since backflow prevention devices are often required for other purposes under the code, this amendment will not always result in higher costs to each residence but could result in cost increases only on a smaller number of residences. The damage costs of contamination incidence could be very substantial in comparison to the cost of prevention and such damage costs would be the responsibility of the residence which caused the contamination problem. Overall, the minimal costs of prevention seems to be a reasonable offset to potential very high cost of damages that could occur. The Division is unable to determine how many persons these amendments will affect or the cost of implementation due to such varying factors and therefore it is impossible to estimate an aggregate impact.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The amendment with respect to gas pipe size may result in limited savings to a limited number of persons and the local South Jordan amendment may result in higher installation costs for a limited number of persons as discussed above.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This rule filing adds standardized building permit three-digit designations, renumbers and reorganizes building code sections, removes a requirement for a one-inch natural gas supply pipe, adds a backflow prevention provision for the City of South Jordan, and makes other technical amendments. No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated beyond those discussed in the rule summary. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director
