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:

Section 72-1-201 requires the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to keep the roads safe and reliable. Section 72-1-205 requires UDOT to maintain Region offices to carry out road safety measures. Section 72-1-303 gives the Transportation Commission the authority to advise the Department.

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:

This rule is necessary to provide notice to the traveling public of those roads for which UDOT will provide snow removal services and which roads will be closed during the winter. The rule is also necessary in order to provide clear directions to property owners and snow resort owners of their responsibilities for snow removal on private property and to designate areas where UDOT will not provide snow removal services, e.g., sidewalks and parking lots. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
