RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board met on July 16, 2004, and proposed that Rule R710-6 be amended. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to adjust, increase, and add fees.

 

Summary of the rule or change:

The Utah LP Gas Board proposes to amend Section R710-6-6 by adjusting, increasing, and adding fees. This amendment is to make the existing rule consist with the Appropriations Act from the 2004 session of the Utah State Legislature (S.B. 1). (DAR NOTE: S.B. 1 is found at UT L 2004 Ch 256, and was effective 07/01/2004.)

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 53-7-305

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There is no anticipated cost or savings to the state budget because this proposed amendment does not effect Utah State Government.

 

local governments:

There is no anticipated cost or savings to local government because this proposed amendment does not effect local government.

 

other persons:

There would be an anticipated cost to other persons of $20 per hour for special inspections if an LP Gas special inspection was completed using the allowance in Subsection R710-6-6(6.1.4.1). There would be an anticipated savings of $75 on a private container inspection if the owner of that container had only one container to be inspected. The cost for private container inspections were cut in half for those that had only one privately-owned container.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There would be a compliance cost of $20 per hour for those that needed a special inspection rated on the newly adopted rate of $50 per hour. The old rate was $30 per hour.

 

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

There is a $20 per hour increase in the special inspection rate. This is only used on occasion usually be a local fire department that is asked to assist the State Fire Marshal's Office on a visual checkback or completion of corrections. This increase places the special rate fee consistent with other normally charged rates used by other agencies.
