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 is enacted under the authority of the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), Subsections 63G-2-204(2)(d) and (7), which authorizes agencies to make rules specifying where a record request under GRAMA should be submitted. It is also enacted under the authority of Subsection 63A-12-104(2), which allows an agency to make rules specifying which parts of the agency may share records without meeting the requirements of Section 63G-2-206.

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 supporting or opposing this rule 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:

Specifying the address for receipt of GRAMA requests helps ensure that requests won't go astray and will get a timely response. In addition, under Subsection 63G-2-204(7), it ensures that DEQ and its divisions will get the full time established by statute to respond to a GRAMA request. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
