    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:

    This rule is authorized by Subsection 26-1-30(2)(m) which directs the Department of Health to establish and enforce standards for laboratory services which are provided by any laboratory in the state when the purpose of the services is to protect the public health.

    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 comments were received.

    Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

    For Utah to maintain primacy under EPA (especially for drinking water) there must exist a laboratory certification program within the state. This rule allows this program to certify laboratories to perform testing acceptable to the state environmental programs. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
