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:

Title 15A, Chapter 1, provides a number of duties to be performed by the Division in conjunction with the Uniform Building Code Commission, which includes establishing rules for the following: Subsection 15A-1-203(12)(b) establishing the Unified Code Council; Subsection 15A-1-204(6)(b) adopting approved codes; Subsection 15A-1-209(3)(a) adopting a code amendment review process; Subsection 15A-1-209(3)(a) adopting a standardized building permit form; and Subsection 15A-1-306(1)(f) adopting continuing education requirements for manufactured housing installers.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Since this rule was last reviewed in September 2011, it has been amended six times. The only written comment received was an 08/30/2011 email from Hunter Finch from the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget in which he notified the Division of an incorrect statutory citation. The Division filed a nonsubstantive rule change on 09/12/2011 in Filing No. 35231, which corrected the statutory citation error.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule should be continued as it provides a mechanism for the Division and the Uniform Building Code Commission to perform duties assigned to them as provided by Title 15A. This rule should also be continued as it provides information to persons participating in the construction industry about approved codes, methods of presenting code amendments for consideration, information about the appeal process for challenges to code enforcement, and information about standardized building permits forms.
