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:

In accordance to Subsection 9-8-203(3)(c), authority is given to the Division of State History to provide grants to assist cemeteries, computerize their records, and to develop a centralized database of names, dates of death, burial locations, and other 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 the past five years either in support of or opposition to the rules. However, in reviewing the rule, State History has determined that a nonsubstantive change should be made following the 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:

The rule is required to provide a process and guidelines for granting matching funds to groups and organization in the state to create and maintain a computerized record of cemeteries and burial locations and to maintain those records in a state-coordinated and publicly accessible information system. The rule helps promote, within the communities, an appreciation for Utah history. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
