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:

Subsection 19-5-104(1) authorizes the Utah Water Quality Board to enact rules for construction assistance, including development of a priority schedule for awarding loans. 40 CFR 35.3115 requires that one of the qualifications for awarding those loans is ranking on the project priority list. This rule establishes the process for developing the project priority list.

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:

The priority ranking system is used to rank wastewater projects for possible state and federal funding assistance. It is a required component of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
