    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 19-1-106 establishes the Waste Management and Radiation Control Board within the Department of Environmental Quality. In accordance with Section 19-3-104, the Board is authorized to make rules that are necessary for controlling exposures to sources of radiation that constitute a significant health hazard.

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

    During the period from the previous five-year review, two substantive modifications to Rule R313-25 were made. The comments related to the specific language proposed in the modifications. No comments were received expressing support or opposition to the Rule R313-25 since the last five-year review.

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

    This rule establishes the procedures, criteria, and terms and conditions upon which a license may be issued for the land disposal of radioactive wastes. It is necessary to continue this rule because of the presence of an active low-level radioactive waste disposal facility in the State of Utah. This rule also needs to be continued to ensure that the state's rules are adequate to protect public health and safety, and meet compatibility requirements of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's program.
