Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule is authorized by Section 53-7-204. Subsection 53-7-204(1)(l) states that the board shall "regulate the sale and servicing of portable fire extinguishers and automatic fire suppression systems in the interest of safeguarding lives and property." The purpose of this rule is to establish licensing requirements for business concerns servicing portable fire extinguishers, to establish the requirements for certificates of registration of persons servicing portable fire extinguishers, to establish service tag requirements, to outline adjudicative proceedings, and to establish a fee schedule.

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

This is a long standing rule that is well understood by the industry it regulates. Industry and the public may address the fire prevention board at any of their regularly scheduled meetings. No one has requested to be on the board agenda in the last five years. No written communication for or against this rule has been received in the last five years.

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

The purpose of this rule is to establish licensing requirements for business concerns servicing portable fire extinguishers, to establish the requirements for certificates of registration of persons servicing portable fire extinguishers, to establish service tag requirements, to outline adjudicative proceedings, and to establish a fee schedule.
