RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this amendment is to change the fees listed in Section R710-6-6 to make them consistent with the newly enacted fee schedule in S.B. 4, that went into effect on 07/01/2006, as passed by the 2006 Utah State Legislature. (DAR NOTE: S.B. 4 (2006) is found at Chapter 366, Laws of Utah 2006, and was effective 07/01/2006.)

 

Summary of the rule or change:

The 2006 Utah State Legislature enacted fee increases as stated in S.B. 4, that increased the fees charged for those paying for a Certificate of Registration, Plan Reviews, Examinations, Re-examinations, or Five-year Examinations.

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 53-7-305

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There is no aggregate anticipated cost or savings to the state budget because the fee increases noted were enacted by the 2006 Utah State Legislature. There will be an increase of received monies to the state budget as anticipated by the passage of S.B. 4.

 

local governments:

There is no aggregate anticipated cost or savings to local government because the fee increases noted in S.B. 4 do not affect or impact local government.

 

other persons:

There is an aggregate anticipated cost of approximately $38,000 to those seeking certificate of registrations, completing plan reviews, taking examinations, re-examinations or five-year examinations in the Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas industry.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There is a compliance cost of an additional $10 for those seeking a certificate of registration and an additional $10 for those taking examinations. The fee for plan reviews will increase $30 for facilities that have LP Gas under 5,000 water gallons, and the plan review fee will increase $60 for facilities that have LP Gas over 5,000 water gallons.

 

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

These fee increases were enacted by the Utah State Legislature in S.B. 4, and reflect necessary increases that have not occurred with these specific fees since 1987. Robert L. Flowers, Commissioner
