    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:

    The federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981, 42 U.S.C. 8621 et seq., as amended, and its accompanying regulations, 45 CFR 96.80 et seq., provide grants to the states for subsidies for certain low-income individuals and households in need of assistance in paying their home energy costs. In response, the Utah Legislature has passed the Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT) Program Act, Section 35A-8-1401 et seq., which authorizes the Department of Workforce Services to administer the HEAT Program in accordance with the above-cited federal authorities. Section 35A-8-1403 specifically authorizes the Department to make rules setting forth the eligibility criteria for the HEAT Program.
