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 authorized by Section 26-1-15, which allows the Department of Health to accept federal funds to implement certain programs of the federal government. The Women, Infants, Children (WIC) Program is a federally-funded program that the Department of Health administers within the state by meeting the gubernatorial and legislative approval required under this section.

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:

This rule describes the Utah WIC Program, along with state policy adaptations to the federal regulations as authorized by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), governing eligibility for services, what services WIC participants in general receive, and an overall description of the WIC Program. It is derived from federal regulations governing the program. It is necessary because it establishes certain rights and responsibilities for program participants. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
