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 73-18-13 states the duties of operator involved in accidents; the notification and reporting procedures; use of accident reports and reporting false information (a misdemeanor). Subsection 73-18-13(3)(a) directs the board to adopt rules governing notification and reporting requirements for vessels involved in accidents.

 

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 written comments 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:

This rule should be continued as it gives specific detailed instructions to the operator of a vessel if there is an accident involving a vessel or its equipment. It requires the date, time, and location of each occurrence, the name of each person who died, or disappeared; assigned number of the vessel and the name and address of the owner and operator. This information is crucial when needed by the attendants of the ambulance, doctors etc. This rule should be continued as written in the interest of public safety, and requirements as listed in Section 73-18-13.
