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:

In accordance with Subsection 53-7-204(1)(o), the fire prevention board is tasked with establishing a process for emergency response personnel to be certified in dealing with hazardous materials emergencies. This rule puts into place an advisory council, training and certification processes. It further identifies a national consensus standard which the training is based upon. Finally, it identifies renewals and fees.

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

There have been no written comments received.

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

With over 8,000 emergency responders in the state who are required through OSHA 1910.120 to have hazardous materials training and certification, this rule sets the foundation for processes and oversight to ensure that nationally recognized standards are met. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
