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 rule establishes procedures for appeal of decisions made by the Building Official in regard to application and interpretations of building codes pursuant to Section 58-56-8. Subsection 63a-5-103(1)(e) authorizes the Utah State Building Board to makes rules regarding functions carried out by the Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM). Section 63a-5-206 provides statutory provision where DFCM is involved in standards for facility construction and is the compliance agency under Title 58, Chapter 56, for projects administered by DFCM. Rule R23-12 establishes procedures for the appeal of decisions made by the Building Official in regard to the application and interpretation of building codes.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

DFCM and the Utah Building Board have not received any written comments, either in support or opposition to Rule R23-12.

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

Continuation of Rule R23-12 is necessary to provide the procedures for the appeal of decisions made by the Building Official in regard to the application and interpretation of building codes. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
