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 54-4-1 authorizes the commission to regulate every public utility in Utah and supervise the business of those public utilities necessary to accomplish that regulation and supervision. Section 54-4-7 requires that the commission provide rules to ensure that utility service and equipment is just, safe, proper, and adequate. Section 54-7-25 provides for penalties referred to in Section R746-200-9.
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 comment have been received in the last five years.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The commission must continue to regulate every public utility in Utah and provide rules to ensure that utility service and equipment is just, safe, proper, and adequate. Rule R746-200 establishes and enforces utility residential service practices and procedures such as eligibility, deposits, account billing, deferred payment agreements, termination, review of consumer complaints and penalties, therefore this rule should be continued.
