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:
The statute authorizes the State Parks Board to promulgate rules relating to carrying passengers for hire in Subsection 73-18-4(1)(d): "The Board may promulgate rules regulating vessel operators who carry passengers for hire and outfitting companies."
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:
There are several outfitting companies and many boat captains and guides licensed in the State of Utah. Customers of water-based outfitting companies deserve the assurance that the vessels they have hired are seaworthy and that operators who they have trusted their lives with have the experience and knowledge necessary to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. The rule is in place to ensure the safe and enjoyable experience for citizens who use these companies to access the water. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
