USTAR Energy Research Triangle Scholars Grant

Notice of Proposed Rule

(Repeal and Reenact)

DAR File No.: 41829
Filed: 06/14/2017 05:12:10 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This rule is a result of S.B. 166 from the 2016 General Session, now codified in Utah Code Title 63M, Chapter 2. Subsection 63M-2-503(2) requires the Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) Initiative to create rules governing all USTAR grant programs. This rule is for one of USTAR's new grant programs, the USTAR Energy Research Triangle Scholars Grant. This rule establishes the eligibility and reporting criteria for an entity to receive a grant under Section 63M-2-503 including: 1) the form and process of submitting a grant application; 2) which entities are eligible to apply for a USTAR Energy Research Triangle Scholars Grant; 3) specific categories of projects that are eligible; 4) the criteria for awarding grants and determining grant amounts; and 5) the reporting requirements of grant recipients. The repeal and reenact is to: 1) clarify the language in the administrative rules for the grant; 2) update terms and conditions for entities eligible to apply for the grant, criteria for evaluating and awarding grant funding, and contracting and reporting requirements of grant recipients; and 3) to make USTAR administrative rule language similar across grant programs.

Summary of the rule or change:

This rule establishes the USTAR Energy Research Triangle Scholars grant program, which is a collaborative effort between USTAR and the Utah Governor's Office of Energy Development (GOED) and will be administered according to these rules. Grants provide funding to university faculty research professors for student-led projects that seek to address technical challenges related to energy issues important to economic growth in the state of Utah. Anticipated duration of projects will be 12 to18 months. Funding must be budgeted by state fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) and funding will be dependent on meeting milestones and continued USTAR appropriation. The change is to: 1) clarify the language in the administrative rules for the grant; 2) update terms and conditions for entities eligible to apply for the grant, criteria for evaluating and awarding grant funding, and contracting and reporting requirements of grant recipients; and 3) to make USTAR administrative rule language similar across grant programs.

Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Subsection 63M-2-302(1)(h)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

None--It is funded by appropriations that have already been allocated to USTAR for these purposes.

local governments:

None--Only universities can apply for these grants. Therefore, local government entities are not affected by this rule.

small businesses:

None--Only universities can apply for these grants. It is anticipated that small businesses will benefit from the research of universities that receive this grant, since the grant is established to create economic growth in Utah. However, USTAR is unable to estimate any fiscal benefit for small businesses as a result of this rule, because the impact is indirect and will vary depending on circumstance.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

None--Only universities can apply for these grants. Therefore, persons other than small business are not affected by this rule.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

If successful in winning a grant, awardees will be required to report data for at least five years subsequent at approximately an hour/year of effort. USTAR is unable to estimate the exact cost, since it will vary given the pay of the individual conducting the reporting.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that this proposed rule will not result in a fiscal impact to businesses. Only universities can apply for these grants. Therefore, businesses are not affected by this rule. It is anticipated that businesses will likely benefit from the research of universities that receive this grant, since the grant is established to create economic growth in Utah. However, USTAR is unable to estimate any fiscal benefit for small businesses as a result of this rule because the impact is indirect and will vary depending on circumstance.
