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:

Statute authorizes the State Parks Board to make rules relating to decal display in Subsection 73-18-7(17)(a): "The board may designate the suffix to assigned numbers, and by following the procedures and requirements of Title 63G, Chapter 3, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act, make rules for: (a) the display of registration decals...."

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 in support or opposition of this rule 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:

Statute requires a boat to display registration decals and numbers on the hull of the vessel. There are many vessels made of material which does not readily adhere to the registration decal. This rule allows owners of such vessels to mount the decals on a backing plate which is to be mounted on the vessel. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
