Assigned Numbers
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 40069

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:
Statute authorizes the State Parks Board to make rules relating to assigned numbers in Subsection 73-18-7(17): "The board may designate the suffix to assigned numbers...."
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
Periodically the Division receives written comments. One comment stated that "these numbers are too long to fit on my short boat."
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
For administrative and law enforcement purposes, it is beneficial to have certain types of vessels easily identified by the suffix of the bow number. The numbering system and display of these numbers is required by Federal Code 33 CFR 173 and State Statute Subsection 73-18-6(2) which states: "The number assigned to a motorboat or sailboat in accordance with this chapter, applicable federal law, or a federally-approved numbering system of another state shall be displayed on each side of the bow of the motorboat or sailboat, except this requirement does not apply to any vessel which has a valid marine document issued by the United States Coast Guard..." Therefore, this rule should be continued.
