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:

In 2010, Congress passed the State Small Business Credit Initiative Act of 2010, 12 U.S.C. 5701 et seq. This federal statute provides funding for state programs that support financing of small businesses. In response to Congress's action, the Utah Legislature created the State Small Business Credit Initiative Program Fund, Section 35A-8-1201 et seq. Per statute, the Fund may "make loans and guarantees...for programs that leverage private lending to help finance small businesses and manufacturers that are creditworthy but not receiving the loans needed to expand and create jobs". Subsection 35A-8-1201(1)(a). The Department of Workforce Services has the specific authority to make rules for administering the program in accordance with federal requirements as per Subsection 35A-8-1202(3).

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 have been received during 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 rule is necessary to administer the federal funds provided to the State for use in the State Small Business Credit Initiative Program Fund. Therefore, the rule should be continued.
