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 54-17-202 requires the commission to establish the requirements for solicitation process by which an affected utility constructs or acquires acquisition of a significant energy resource pursuant to the Utah Energy Resource Procurement Act.

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 comments have been received since the rule was proposed and made effective in 2007.

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

Rule R746-420 establishes the procedural and informational requirements for a solicitation process by which an affected utility constructs or acquires a significant energy resource pursuant to the Utah Energy Resource Procurement Act. Rule R746-420 continues to be necessary because Section 54-17-200 remains in force. Therefore, the rule should be continued.
