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 61-1-14 establishes the various exemptions from registration under the Utah Uniform Securities Act. Subsections 61-1-14(1)(i) and 61-1-14(2)(v) allow the division to exempt from registration by rule such securities or transactions as to which the division director finds that registration is not necessary or appropriate for the protection of investors.

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.

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

This rule aids the public in qualifying for exemptions from registration by setting forth in detail filing and qualification requirements for many of the statutory exemptions. It also establishes several additional exemptions by rule. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
