EXECUTIVE DOCUMENTS Under authority granted by the Utah Constitution and various federal and state statutes, the Governor periodically issues Executive Documents, which can be categorized as either Executive Orders, Proclamations, and Declarations. Executive Orders set policy for the executive branch; create boards and commissions; provide for the transfer of authority; or otherwise interpret, implement, or give administrative effect to a provision of the Constitution, state law or executive policy. Proclamations call special or extraordinary legislative sessions; designate classes of cities; publish states-of-emergency; promulgate other official formal public announcements or functions; or publicly avow or cause certain matters of state government to be made generally known. Declarations designate special days, weeks or other time periods; call attention to or recognize people, groups, organizations, functions, or similar actions having a public purpose; or invoke specific legislative purposes (such as the declaration of an agricultural disaster). The Governor's Office staff files Executive Documents that have legal effect with the Division of Administrative Rules for publication and distribution.

NOTICES OF PROPOSED RULES A state agency may file a Proposed Rule when it determines the need for a substantive change to an existing rule. With a Notice of Proposed Rule, an agency may create a new rule, amend an existing rule, repeal an existing rule, or repeal an existing rule and reenact a new rule. Filings received between December 2, 2015, 12:00 a.m., and December 15, 2015, 11:59 p.m. are summarized in this, the January 1, 2016, issue of the Utah State Digest. The law requires that an agency accept public comment on Proposed Rules published in the January 1, 2016, issue of the Utah State Bulletin until at least February 1, 2016 (the Bulletin is the parent publication of the Digest). The agency may accept comment beyond this date and will indicate the last day the agency will accept comment in the rule information published below. The agency may also hold public hearings. Additionally, citizens or organizations may request the agency hold a hearing on a specific Proposed Rule. Section 63G-3-302 requires that a hearing request be received by the agency proposing the rule "in writing not more than 15 days after the publication date of the proposed rule." From the end of the public comment period through April 30, 2016, the agency may notify the Division of Administrative Rules that it wants to make the Proposed Rule effective. The agency sets the effective date. The date may be no fewer than seven calendar days after the close of the public comment period nor more than 120 days after the publication date in the Utah State Bulletin. Alternatively, the agency may file a Change in Proposed Rule in response to comments received. If the Division of Administrative Rules does not receive a Notice of Effective Date or a Change in Proposed Rule, the Proposed Rule lapses. The public, interest groups, and governmental agencies are invited to review and comment on the Proposed Rules listed below. Comment may be directed to the contact person identified with each rule. Proposed Rules are governed by Section 63G-3-301, Rule R15-2, and Sections R15-4-3, R15-4-4, R15-4-5a, R15-4-9, and R15-4-10. COMMERCE OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSING No. 39982 (Amendment): R156-26a. Certified Public Accountant Licensing Act Rule. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: In Subsection R156-26a-302a(1)(a), the amendments update the name of an accrediting organization to their new name. In Subsection R156-26a-303b(2)(a), the amendment adds a requirement that 3 hours of the 80-hour continuing education requirement for CPAs be in ethics courses and 1 hour be in Utah laws and rules. Subsection R156-26a-303b(3)(d) changes the requirement that ethical issues "shall" be included in individual courses to "may" be included. After discussion with the Utah Association of CPAs (UACPA) and the Utah Board of Accountancy, they found that the current methods of including ethical requirements in the continuing education requirement did not adequately focus the discussion on ethical issues like a separate course would. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The proposed amendments apply only to licensed certified public accountants and applicants for licensure in that classification. As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: The proposed amendments apply only to licensed certified public accountants and applicants for licensure in that classification. As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The proposed amendments apply only to licensed certified public accountants and applicants for licensure in that classification. Licensees and applicants for licensure may work in a small business; however, the Division anticipates the proposed amendments will not add any additional costs to small businesses. The proposed amendment does not increase the amount of continuing education required but simply requires a small portion of that continuing education to be in ethics courses. Accordingly, there should be little, if any, added costs to licensed CPAs. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The proposed amendments apply only to licensed certified public accountants and applicants for licensure in that classification. The proposed amendment does not increase the amount of continuing education required but simply requires a small portion of that continuing education to be in ethics courses. Accordingly, there should be little, if any, added costs to licensed CPAs. The Division anticipates the proposed amendments will not add any additional costs to other persons. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: The proposed amendments apply only to licensed certified public accountants and applicants for licensure in that classification. The proposed amendment does not increase the amount of continuing education required but simply requires a small portion of that continuing education to be in ethics courses. Accordingly, there should be little, if any, added costs to licensed CPAs. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: This filing updates the name of an accrediting organization, and adds requirements that 3 of the 80 continuing education hours required for licensure relate to ethics, and 1 relate to Utah laws and rules. No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated.

ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The rule changes will not require any state resources above those already required to review licenses. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: No local governments will be affected by the rule change. No local government operates or regulates a facility affected by the proposed rule change. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The rule change will not affect small businesses as they do not handle radioactive material of the type covered by the rule. The NRC, in its rulemaking that necessitated the change in Utah rule, noted that small businesses were not affected. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The rule change will not affect persons other than businesses. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: Changes in this rule along with changes in Rules R313-15, R313-19, and R313-22 are considered as one. The financial analysis done by the NRC for the federal rule that the Utah changes are based on stated that the cost to an affected person would be $20,000 over a 15-year period, or $1,333 per year. (DAR NOTE: The proposed amendment to Rule R313-15 is under DAR No. 39989, the proposed amendment to Rule R313-19 is under DAR No. 39990, and the proposed amendment to Rule R313-22 is under DAR No. 39991 in this issue, January 1, 2016, of the Bulletin.) COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: Changes to Rules R313-15, R313-19, R313-22, and R313-24 are considered as one.

Requirements for Waste Discharges. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed amendment consists of four principal modifications to current Subsection R317-1-3(3) and some minor formatting changes: 1) the proposed amendment allows a variance for up to five years, until 01/01/2025, for facilities that exercise "due diligence" in pursuing implementation of the TBPEL but, in spite of their diligence, would be unable to achieve the effluent limit of 1.0 mg/L total phosphorus by 01/01/2020; 2) the proposed amendment provides a waiver of up to ten years from future nitrogen regulation to dischargers who voluntarily reduce nitrogen discharges to agreeable levels prior to 01/01/2020. The goal of this waiver is to effect early, significant nitrogen reductions in discharges by facilities capable of doing so economically. Facilities that can voluntarily reduce nitrogen discharges will be able to defer major construction improvements and costs by adopting relatively minor "nitrogen optimization" improvements early. Where this waiver is employed, there will be a long-term benefit to both the receiving water quality and to the pollution control facility; 3) the proposed amendment provides clarification to the phosphorus discharge cap basis and its implementation schedule, which had not been specified in the original rule. The intent of these changes is to clarify that annual averaging over the first three years of phosphorus self-implementing monitoring will be used to establish effluent mass loading caps in pounds per day for discharging lagoon facilities; and 4) a minor modification to the requirements for manual composite sample collection and preparation is proposed as a clarification. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The proposed changes are not anticipated to affect the state budget since no additional state resources are required for implementation. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Local governments that could be affected by the proposed amendment are municipalities and districts that own wastewater treatment works. The cost or savings to local governments depends on their eligibility for the proposed "due diligence" variance and "nitrogen optimization" waiver, outlined in summary items 1) and 2) above. In 1), the case of the due diligence variance, a maximum aggregate savings of $4,360,000 per year for up to 5 years could result from the variance. The most likely savings from this variance would be $2,760,000 per year for up to 5 years based on known infrastructure needs, size, and complexity. Statewide the savings to local government is predicted to be $13,800,000. Capital costs associated with the due diligence variance are neutral, with scale economy savings balancing with inflationary costs. In 2), the nitrogen optimization waiver will provide a savings or be cost neutral to local government. Engineering and operations costs required for implementation of process modifications will be offset by reduced energy costs at facilities with treatment technology that can be most easily adapted for nitrogen removal. The cost to local government to implement more complicated operations will be offset by savings from deferral of capital improvement costs provided through the waiver, resulting in a most likely cost neutral impact. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There are no additional costs or savings to small business anticipated as a result of the proposed changes. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There are no additional costs or savings to persons anticipated as a result of the proposed changes. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: This amendment does not change the compliance costs for affected persons. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The intent of the proposed amendment is to assist local governments to implement existing water quality protection rules economically. Many Utah wastewater treatment works have urgent needs to expand in response to growing service area populations and equally urgent needs to upgrade old infrastructure and technology. The aggregate cost to meet these current needs will exceed $1,000,000,000 over the next 20 years. Incorporating modern technology to remove phosphorus in conjunction with already planned infrastructure upgrades will minimize the long-term cost of protecting the state's waters from nutrient pollution, ensuring that businesses will continue to have among the lowest utility costs in the nation and high quality water for production and quality of life uses.
