Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation

DAR File No.: 41035
Filed: 12/01/2016 08:11:36 AM

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:

Subsection 13-2-5(1) gives the Director of the Division of Consumer Protection (Division) authorization to issue rules to administer and enforce the chapters listed in Section 13-2-1. In addition, Subsection 63G-4-202(1) gives the Division authorization to designate categories of adjudicative proceedings as informal.

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

The Division is not aware of any written comments regarding the rules. The interpretation of these rules is at times the subject of informal proceedings before the Division.

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

Section 63G-4-201 allows agencies to designate hearings as informal. In this rule, the agency designates its hearings as informal in accordance with that statute. Section R152-6-2 designates the Director as the Division's presiding officer, but allows the Director to designate another person to act in his stead, see Section 63G-4-103. Given the volume of Division cases, designation of a presiding officer is critical for the completion of other duties by the Director. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
