RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this rule is to adopt the 2013 edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Sections I, IV and VIII; the 2013 edition of the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) Part 3 2013 edition; and the 2012 edition of the Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers ASME CSD-1. The Utah Labor Commission's intent is to maintain uniformity between Utah and national standards for the design, installation and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels.

Summary of the rule or change:

This rule change adopts the updated ASME CSD-1:2012, which was issued on January 31, 2012, for boilers with a heat input greater than 400,000 BTUs but less than 12,500,000 BTUs. This adoption does not include Part CG-130(c) (see attached ASME documents). The updated code provides for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and a single substantive change. The substantive change requires that, pursuant to CF-190(b)(2), all bleed lines must run separately to outdoor areas. Multiple boilers may no longer be joined on vents and bleed lines for fuel trains. This rule adopts the updated ASME Section I, IV, and VIII 2013 edition, and the NBIC Part 3 2013 edition. The updated code provides for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and three minor substantive changes. The first substantive change is found in ASME Section I, Part PR, which relates to the construction of riveted boilers. Under the previous Part PR, the 1971 edition of the rule was merely referenced. The updated Part PR incorporates the entire 1971 edition as it pertains to riveted boiler fabrication and has been updated to include current terminology. The second substantive change is also found in ASME Section I, Part PEB, Paragraph 8.3, which now requires electric element supports to be manufactured by and purchased from a stamp holder and may not purchased from a non-stamp holder. A stamp holder is a company that fabricates completed or field assembly units and is ASME certified. The final substantive change is found in ASME Section IV, Part HG0307.5, which now requires electric element supports to be manufactured by and purchased from a stamp holder and may not purchased from a non-stamp holder. A stamp holder is a company that fabricates completed or field assembly units and is ASME certified.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 34A-7-101 et seq.

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

• Updates Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, published by ASME, 07/01/2013
• Updates Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, published by ASME, 07/01/2013
• Updates Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section I, published by ASME, 07/01/2013
• Updates National Board Inspection Code, Part 3, published by National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, 07/31/2013
• Updates Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, published by ASME, 05/10/2012

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The updated ASME CSD-1:2012 provides for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and a single substantive change regarding bleed lines under CF-190(b)(2) that may result in a minimal impact on state budget if such equipment is installed in government buildings. The 2013 editions of the ASME and NBIC codes provide for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and certain substantive changes regarding the purchase of electric element supports that should not impact the state budget.

local governments:

The updated ASME CSD-1:2012 provides for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and a single substantive change regarding bleed lines under CF-190(b)(2) that may result in a minimal cost to local governments if such equipment is installed in government buildings. The 2013 editions of the ASME and NBIC codes provide for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and certain substantive changes regarding the purchase of electric element supports that should not impact the budgets of local governments.

small businesses:

The updated ASME CSD-1:2012 provides for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and a single substantive change regarding bleed lines under CF-190(b)(2) that may result in a minimal cost to small businesses if such equipment is installed commercial buildings. The 2013 editions of the ASME and NBIC codes provide for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and certain substantive changes regarding the purchase of electric element supports that should not impact the budgets of small businesses.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

The updated ASME CSD-1:2012 provides for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and a single substantive change regarding bleed lines under CF-190(b)(2) that may result in a minimal impact on these persons' budgets if such equipment is installed in their buildings. The 2013 editions of the ASME and NBIC codes provide for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and certain substantive changes regarding the purchase of electric element supports that should not result in a cost or savings for other persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The updated code provides for a number of clerical changes and a single substantive change that may result in a minimal cost to affected persons. The 2013 editions of the ASME and NBIC codes provide for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and certain substantive changes regarding the purchase of electric element supports that should not result in a cost for affected persons.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

The updated code provides for a number of clerical changes and a single substantive change that may result in a minimal cost to affected persons. The 2013 editions of the ASME and NBIC codes provide for a small number of editorial and clerical changes and certain substantive changes regarding the purchase of electric element supports that should not result in a cost for affected persons.
