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 72-6-118 authorizes the Department of Transportation to establish, expand, and operate tollways and related facilities. Subsection 72-6-118(5)(a) requires the Department to make rules necessary to establish and operate tollways on state highways that establish standards and specifications for automatic tolling systems. This rule satisfies the rulemaking requirements of Section 72-6-118.

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

The Department has not received any written comments related to this rule since the last five-year review of the rule.

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

The Department has established and operates tollways. This rule needs to continue because it sets specifications for establishing new tollways and operating existing tollways. The rule also sets the rates for tolls, specifies where toll revenue is to go, sets conditions under which tolls may be changed, and establishes other requirements the Transportation Commission must consider when regulating Utah's tollways.
