RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

After a public hearing and comments received, the Division and the Uniform Building Code Commission determined that the proposed amendment to the International Residential Code (IRC) regarding landing requirements in Subsection R156-56-711(13) was defective in that it failed to adequately consider all the factors that should be considered in adopting an amendment in this area. The effect being that there will be no amendment to the IRC requirements in this area.

 

Summary of the rule or change:

In Sections R156-56-704 and R156-56-707, made several minor typographical or technical error corrections throughout these sections. In Section R156-56-711, deleted Subsection R156-56-711(13) (previously proposed) regarding landings at doors and renumbered the remaining subsections. (DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed amendment that was published in the May 1, 2004, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 5. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the change in proposed rule and the proposed amendment together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)

 

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 Division does not anticipate any additional costs or savings beyond those identified in the original rule filing.

 

local governments:

The Division does not anticipate any additional costs or savings beyond those identified in the original rule filing.

 

other persons:

Since the landing requirement amendment is now being deleted, there may be no anticipated minor savings in the costs of landings at certain residences as was identified in the original rule filing.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Since the landing requirement amendment is now being deleted, there may be no anticipated minor savings in the costs of landings at certain residences as was identified in the original rule filing.

 

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

Based upon comments received at the rule hearing, a previously proposed rule change to modify the IRC as to stairway landings is withdrawn with this filing. There are also minor technical amendments such as correction of references and typographical errors. These amendments do not appear to create any fiscal impact to businesses. Klarice A.
