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:

Rule R392-104 is authorized under Subsection 26-1-30(4), and Sections 26-15-5.1 and 26-15A-105. Subsection 26-1-30(4) authorizes the Department of Health (Health) to establish, maintain, and enforce rules necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions and purposes of Title 26 to promote and protect public health or to prevent disease and illness. Sections 26-15-5.1 and 26-15A-105 exempts charitable organizations from the requirements to have food handler permits or a food safety manager certification, respectively.

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 Department sought comments from the local health departments in Utah, as well as through the register of charitable organizations that feed disadvantage groups. No comments were received in opposition to a continuation of Rule R392-104.

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

Continuation of Rule R392-104 is recommended by the Department. This rule exempts certain charitable organizations from facility and operator permitting requirements, as well as meets statutory requirements to exempt food workers from needing food handler permits or food safety manager certifications. Keeping these exemptions in place encourages organizations and individuals to volunteer and help disadvantaged groups. The Department received no comments in opposition to this rule.
