Notice of Proposed Rule
(Amendment)
DAR File No.: 33904
Filed: 08/10/2010 09:59:33 AM
RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The changes are because: the Garden City Town Council took action to segment a portion of the Logan Canyon Scenic Byway, requiring an amendment of the description of this byway; a highly stylized tourist map was submitted as part of the application for National Scenic Byway status on the Trail of the Ancients Scenic Byway, resulting in several errors and omissions in the map, provided by the National Scenic Byway Program, on which the description in Subsection R926-13-5(7) was based. Most of these have now been corrected, so the rule needs to be amended to reflect the correct alignments; and no federal aid secondary highway (FAS) designation was included for National Forest Road 015 in the Fishlake Scenic Byway, as was done for all other non-state roadways described in the rule so the designation will be added with this amendment.
Summary of the rule or change:
Subsection R926-13-4(1) is changed to add the exclusion of the 20-foot segment acted on by Garden City; Subsection R926-13-4(1)(c) is added to give the effective date of the change. Subsection R926-13-5(7)(a) is amended to reflect the corrections made to the official National Scenic Byway Program map; Subsection R926-13-5(7)(c) is deleted as being no longer applicable with the corrections having been made. Subsection R926-13-4(11) is amended to add a federal aid secondary designation to complement the Forest Roadway designation.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Section 63G-3-201
- Section 72-4-303
