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 regulate water safety on the boating waters of the state in Section 73-18b-1: "The Board of Parks and Recreation may make rules necessary to promote safety in swimming, scuba diving, and related activities on any waters where public boating is permitted."
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 comments either in opposition or support 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:
It is important for public safety that scuba divers be certified and highly visible and that boaters are directed away from scuba diving activities. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
