Summary of the rule or change:

Rule R926-3 is being amended to incorporate by reference the revised "Regulations Governing Class B and Class C Road Funds" dated 09/11/2015. The present rule incorporates the 04/29/2011 version of the regulations.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Subsection 63G-3-601(3)
  • Section 63G-3-402
  • Section 72-2-108

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

  • Updates Regulations Governing Class B and Class C Road Funds, published by Utah Department of Transportation, 09/11/2015

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

No aggregate cost or savings to the state budget are anticipated because the revised regulations being incorporated do not include any funding increases or decreases.

local governments:

No aggregate cost or savings to local government are anticipated because the revised regulations being incorporated do not include any funding increases or decreases.

small businesses:

No aggregate cost or savings to small business are anticipated because the revised regulations being incorporated do not include any fee increases or decreases.

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

No aggregate cost or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities are anticipated because the revised regulations being incorporated do not include any fee increases or decreases.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The Department does not anticipate there will be any compliance costs for affected persons because the revised regulations involve changes in the designations of certain types of roads, and such changes will not result in costs to the public.

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

The Department issued revised "Regulations Governing Class B and Class C Road Funds" to conform with legislation passed by the legislature during the 2015 General Session. In the 2015 legislature, changes were made to the weighting portion of the B and C distribution formula. Weighted road miles remain a 5 for a paved road, 2 for a gravel road and changed to a 2 for a dirt road. The Department does not believe the changes to Rule R926-3 will lead to any fiscal impact on businesses.
