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).

K-3 Reading Software Licenses. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: This new Rule R277-496 includes provisions moved from Rule R277-489 and adds new provisions to define "technology provider's dosage recommendation" and probation requirements for a school to reenter the reading software program after losing the school's access to licenses. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: Enactment of this new rule will likely not result in a cost or savings to the state budget. Provisions moved from Rule R277-489 and new provisions apply to schools not meeting probationary requirements and local education agencies for not complying with the provisions of this rule. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There will be costs to a school on probation that does not use the K-3 reading software license in accordance with a technology provider's dosage recommendations during the probationary year. There could be action taken against a school that does not meet the technology provider's dosage recommendations, including withholding software licenses or funds, for a local education agency that fails to provide complete, accurate, and timely reporting as required by this rule. Costs are speculative. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Enactment of this new rule will likely not result in a cost or savings to small businesses. Provisions moved from Rule R277-489 and new provisions apply to schools not meeting probationary requirements and local education agencies for not complying with the provisions of this rule. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Enactment of this new rule will likely not result in a cost or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities. Provisions moved from Rule R277-489 and new provisions apply to schools not meeting probationary requirements and local education agencies for not complying with the provisions of this rule. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There will be compliance costs to schools not complying with a technology provider’s dosage recommendations and there could be compliance costs to a local education agency not meeting the reporting requirements of this rule. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that the amendments to this rule will not result in a fiscal impact to most businesses, other than a business that the Board contracts with to provide software for the K-3 reading software program. If a school does not meet the fidelity or dosage requirements of Subsections 53A-17a-167 (5) through (8), the business could lose revenue because schools no longer qualify to receive software licenses. The potential to lose revenue is a direct result of the fidelity/dosage requirements in Section 53A-17a-167, not this rule, but the definition of the technology provider's dosage recommendations is included in this Rule R277-496.

General Provisions. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: On 07/13/2017, the Waste Management and Radiation Control Board authorized the proposed changes to be published for public review and comment. Proposed changes to Rules R313-12, R313-19, R313- 21, and R313-22 reflect those revisions made by the NRC to selected sections of 10 CFR Part 40, as promulgated on 05/29/2013 (78 FR 32310). The majority of the changes are required to retain regulatory compatibility for the radioactive materials program, other proposed changes provide added clarification or correct textual errors. Specifically, incorporating the revisions promulgated by the NRC into the appropriate sections of Rule R313- 12 require the initial distribution of source material to exempt persons or to general licensees be explicitly authorized by a specific license and institute new reporting requirements to provide timely information on the types and quantities of source material distributed for use either under exemption or by general licensees. In addition, the rule modifies the existing possession and use requirements of the general license for small quantities of source material to better align the requirements with current health and safety standards. The regulatory amendments will create a regulatory framework for the initial distribution of source material to inform the Division, in the event of any manufacturer or distributor of source material becomes licensed in Utah, of what types and quantities of products containing source material are distributed for use under the exemptions from licensing and to identify persons using significant quantities of source material under the general license in Rule R313-21-21. It will also ensure that general licensees under Section R313-21-21 are informed of applicable regulations before they obtain source material. Also, the proposed rule changes revise, clarify, or delete certain source material exemptions from licensing to make the exemptions more risk informed. The NRC’s final rule and the associated proposed rule changes in the Utah radiation control rules also affect the possession and use of source material under a general license or an applicable license exemption. References to the Utah Code are being updated to match the existing respective statutes in the definitions for "Dentist" and "Pharmacist". A clarification is being added to the definition of "Regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation" to explicitly reference federal transportation regulations that are also applicable. A change to the definition of "Unrefined and unprocessed ore" is being made to be compatible with the corresponding NRC regulation of 10 CFR 40.4. Text is being added to the Records section (R313- 12-51) to be compatible with the corresponding NRC regulations of 10 CFR 40.61(a) and (b) and the subsequent subsections are being renumbered. Text is being added to the Communications section (R313-12-110) to clarify that communications, reports, and applications are to be addressed to the director of the division. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The primary focus of the proposed rule changes is directed to manufacturers and distributors of radioactive source material (containing by definition a certain quantity of uranium or thorium). There are no state agencies that manufacture or distribute radioactive source material to either entities exempt from radioactive materials licensing requirements or to radioactive materials general licensees. However, state academic institutions that may possess or use radioactive source material for research or other academic-related purposes beyond the proposed quantity limit may need to apply for and receive a specific licenses. Any costs associated with the specific license application process and subsequent implementation procedures are unique to each licensing action and are therefore not quantifiable. However, additional information regarding a cost-benefit analysis associated with the NRC's final rule issued on 05/29/2013 (74 FR 32310) can be found in NRC's regulatory analysis document for this final rule (ADAMS Accession No. ML13079A302) .

Specific Licenses. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: On 07/13/2017, the Waste Management and Radiation Control Board authorized the proposed changes to be published for public review and comment. Proposed changes to Rules R313-12, R313-19, R313- 21, and R313-22 reflect those revisions made by the NRC to selected sections of 10 CFR Part 40, as promulgated on 05/29/2013 (78 FR 32310). The majority of the changes are required to retain regulatory compatibility for the radioactive materials program, other proposed changes provide added clarification or correct textual errors. Specifically, incorporating the revisions promulgated by the NRC into the appropriate sections of Rule R313- 22 require the initial distribution of source material to exempt persons or to general licensees be explicitly authorized by a specific license and institute new reporting requirements to provide timely information on the types and quantities of source material distributed for use either under exemption or by general licensees. In addition, the rule modifies the existing possession and use requirements of the general license for small quantities of source material to better align the requirements with current health and safety standards. The regulatory amendments will create a regulatory framework for the initial distribution of source material to inform the Division, in the event of any manufacturer or distributor of source material becomes licensed in Utah, of what types and quantities of products containing source material are distributed for use under the exemptions from licensing and to identify persons using significant quantities of source material under the general license in Section R313-21- 21. It will also ensure that general licensees under Section R313-21-21 are informed of applicable regulations before they obtain source material. Also, the proposed rule changes revise, clarify, or delete certain source material exemptions from licensing to make the exemptions more risk informed. The NRC's final rule and the associated proposed rule changes in the Utah radiation control rules also affect the possession and use of source material under a general license or an applicable license exemption. The edition date of the reference to Appendix E of 10 CFR Part 20 in Section R313-22-4 is updated to 2017. Proposed changes in Section R313-22-33 are being made to be compatible with the corresponding NRC regulations of 10 CFR 40.32 as promulgated on 05/29/2013 (78 FR 32310) regarding the distribution of certain quantities of source material (radioactive material containing uranium and/or thorium). Two new subsections are being added in Sections R313-22-54 and R313-22-55 to be compatible with the corresponding NRC regulations of 10 CFR 40.54 and 10 CFR 40.55, respectively, as promulgated on 05/29/2013 (78 FR 32310) regarding the distribution, possession, use, or transfer of certain quantities of source material. Revised references in Subsection R313-22- 75(11) in order to match renumbered paragraphs in Section R313-21-21. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The primary focus of the proposed rule changes is directed to manufacturers and distributors of radioactive source material (containing by definition a certain quantity of uranium or thorium). There are no state agencies that manufacture or distribute radioactive source material to either entities exempt from radioactive materials licensing requirements or to radioactive materials general licensees. However, state academic institutions that may possess or use radioactive source material for research or other academic-related purposes beyond the proposed quantity limit may need to apply for and receive a specific licenses. Any costs associated with the specific license application process and subsequent implementation procedures are unique to each licensing action and are therefore not quantifiable.

Technology Commercialization and Innovation Program (TCIP). SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The current rule requires payment be made only on a reimbursement basis. This requirement is being removed because the program is designed to provide gap financing for technologies that are ready to move to a commercialization phase. The reimbursement requirement was found to be prohibitive causing awardees to forfeit the award altogether. The rule also references the requirement for matching funds which again became a prohibitive requirement that forced awardees to forego receiving an award and countering the legislative intent of the program. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: This amendment does not affect the state budget because the program this rule regulates receives an appropriation which serves as the only source of funding the state provides. This rule does not require more administrative overhead to implement. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: This amendment does not affect local governments because local governments cannot apply for this grant. - SMALL BUSINESSES: This amendment does not affect small businesses because it does not place any new regulations or requirements on small business generally. Moreover, this amendment will likely increase access to this grant allowing more small business to apply without prohibitive requirements or costs. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There are no other persons affected by this amendment because only business can apply for this grant. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There will be no compliance costs associated with this amendment because the office will use already existing resources to implement the requirements of the program outlined in this rule and in statute. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: This amendment will not impact small businesses fiscally in a negative way because it does not create any new regulations. It will actually allow more small businesses the ability to use the program as it was intended by the legislature.

Collection of Child Support After a Termination of Parental Rights or Adoption. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The first section of the rule provides the authority of the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) to create rules, as well as information that the purpose of this rule is to specify how ORS will proceed with collection of child support arrears when parental rights have been terminated or an adoption order has been completed. The second section explains that pursuant to Sections 78A-6-513 and 78B-6-138, a parent's legal obligation to pay child support is released when there is a termination of parental rights or an adoption order. This section further clarifies that based on those statutes, ORS will not continue with collection of child support arrears unless the parental termination of rights or adoption order specifically preserves an arrears balance to be collected. Finally, this section recognizes that there is an exception to this approach for children placed in the care or custody of the state due to another existing administrative rule, Rule R495-882. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There are no costs or savings to the state budget associated with this rule as the procedures outlined in the rule clarify for the public existing child support collection procedures followed by ORS when parental rights are terminated or when an adoption is completed. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Administrative rules of ORS do not apply to local government; therefore, there are no anticipated costs or savings for any local government entities due to this new rule. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There are no anticipated costs or savings for small businesses as a result of this new rule. This rule clarifies for the public existing child support collection procedures followed by ORS when parental rights are terminated or when an adoption is completed. These procedures do not affect small businesses. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There are no anticipated costs or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities as a result of this new rule. This rule clarifies for the public existing child support collection procedures followed by ORS when parental rights are terminated or when an adoption is completed. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs associated with this rule as this rule creates no new procedures or required actions for affected persons. This rule clarifies for the public existing child support collection procedures followed by ORS when parental rights are terminated or when an adoption is completed.

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 business. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY PRESENT THEIR VIEWS ON THIS RULE BY SUBMITTING WRITTEN COMMENTS NO LATER THAN AT 5:00 PM ON 09/14/2017 DIRECT QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RULE TO: - Jolene Hanna by phone at 801-538-4154, or by Internet E-mail at jhanna@utah.gov - Julene Robbins by phone at 801-538-4521, by FAX at 801-538-3942, or by Internet E-mail at jhjonesrobbins@utah.gov THIS RULE MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE ON: 09/21/2017 FOR THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DOCUMENT, VISIT: https://rules.utah.gov/publicat/bulletin/2017/20170815/41953.htm JUVENILE JUSTICE SERVICES No. 41963 (Amendment): R547-13. Guidelines for Admission to Secure Youth Detention Facilities. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: As per feedback from stakeholders, the changes will clarify sections that may be unclear or could be interpreted in different ways. The changes will also include proper citation of Utah Code and creating consistent language throughout the rule. This rule change continues to promote public safety and hold juvenile offenders accountable. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: It is anticipated that implementation of H.B. 239 (2017) will affect detention populations by: 1) reducing the numbers of youth that are eligible for admission to detention by law enforcement as a result of the proposed changes in Rule R547-13 as directed by H.B. 239; 2) reducing the time a youth may be in detention while awaiting placement as directed by H.B. 239; and 3) limiting the number of days court dispositions to detention, such as contempt. The agency is expecting a reduction to detention populations as a result of all aspects of H.B. 239. Variable costs associated with the reduction result in a savings to the agency of approximately $65,800 per year. It is estimated that 34% of that ($22,372) would be attributed to changes in Rule R547-13. Variable costs are defined as those costs directly related to costs that change as a result of population changes. They include items such as client food, client clothing, janitorial supplies, client medical costs, client support costs, household supplies, and laundry costs. It is expected that variable costs will increase in receiving centers as a result of changes to Rule R547-13 but actual costs are unknown at this time. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: With the changes to Rule R547-13, law enforcement will not be able to take as many youth to detention facilities as they previously have and will instead have the option of taking them to receiving centers. Since receiving centers are located in close proximity to detention facilities, it was determined that this proposed rule change will have no fiscal impact on law enforcement. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The Division purchases certain variable operating expense items from business such as client food, client clothing, janitorial supplies, client medical costs, client support costs, household supplies, and laundry costs. As mentioned under state budget costs above, the agency anticipates a reduction in spending of approximately $22,372 per year in variable costs. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that this proposed rule change will not result in a fiscal impact to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that this proposed rule change will not result in a fiscal costs to affected persons. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: Due to a reduction in the number of youth eligible for secure detention, there may be a minimal reduction in business revenue.

Privacy of Consumer Information Compliance Deadline. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The rule is being repealed in its entirety. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There is no anticipated cost or savings to the state budget because the requirement contained in the rule is now covered under Rule R590-206. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There is no anticipated cost or savings to local government because the requirement contained in the rule is now covered under Rule R590-206. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There is no anticipated cost or savings to small business because the requirement contained in the rule is now covered under Rule R590-206. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There is no anticipated cost or savings to any other persons because the requirement contained in the rule is now covered under Rule R590- 206. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs for affected persons because the requirement contained in the rule is now covered under Rule R590-206. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: I: IDENTIFY WHETHER THE PROPOSED RULE WILL HAVE A FISCAL IMPACT TO BUSINESS — The repeal of this rule removes a surplus version of the same requirement that is now contained in R590-206, Privacy of Consumer Financial and Health Information Rule. The requirement still exists, just in a different rule; therefore, the net effect is zero. After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that this proposed rule will not result in a fiscal impact to businesses. PARTS II-IV are unnecessary because there is no fiscal impact. PART V: DEPARTMENT HEAD'S COMMENTS ON THE ANALYSIS — The department conducted a thorough analysis of the impact that this repeal will have on businesses. The net effect of the repeal is zero, due to the requirement still existing in another rule. There is no fiscal impact on any businesses as a result of this repeal.

SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: This change removes the reference to ASME QEI -1 from Inspector Qualification allowing the Division flexibility in obtaining accreditation for elevator inspectors. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There is no cost to the state budget associated with this change, as this change will allow the Division more flexibility in obtaining accreditation for elevator inspectors. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There is no cost to any local government associated with this change as local governments do not have elevator inspectors. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There is no cost to small businesses associated with this change as small businesses do not have elevator inspectors. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There is no cost associated with this change as only the state has elevator inspectors.

Curriculum Standards. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Program is to adopt and pursue an OHV safety education program according to Section 41-22- 1. Any outside provider that submits OHV education materials are required to meet minimum curriculum standards as identified in Section R651-412-4. The approval of these outside providers rests upon the OHV program. The purpose of this amendment is to remove the reference to R651-408(1) as it is no longer needed in the rule. This language change would be consistent with current program operations and keep the Division of Parks and Recreation operating within the rule guidance. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The rule change will not increase nor save any funding for the state. This rule change just merely removes a rule number that no longer exists. It is basically a language clean up for Section R651-412-4. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: The rule change will not affect any local government operations, or budget as the rule is a language clean up. This rule change just merely removes a rule number that no longer exists. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The rule change will not affect small businesses as the rule is language clean up. This rule change just merely removes a rule number that no longer exists and is directed towards Division representatives approving submitted off-highway vehicle education course curriculum. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: This rule will not affect any individuals as Section R651-412-4 cleans up language in which directs private course providers to submit proper off highway vehicle education course materials, for approval by the Division, to follow applicable state and federal laws. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs. This amendment is a language clean up and merely removes a previous rule number that no longer exists. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: There should be no effect on business. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY PRESENT THEIR VIEWS ON THIS RULE BY SUBMITTING WRITTEN COMMENTS NO LATER THAN AT 5:00 PM ON 09/14/2017 DIRECT QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RULE TO: - Tammy Wright by phone at 801-538-7359, by FAX at 801-538-7378, or by Internet E-mail at tammywright@utah.gov THIS RULE MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE ON: 09/21/2017 FOR THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DOCUMENT, VISIT: https://rules.utah.gov/publicat/bulletin/2017/20170815/41952.htm PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION ADMINISTRATION No. 41989 (Amendment): R746-1. Public Service Commission Administrative Procedures Act Rule. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: Intervenors are required to file briefs, memoranda, etc. in accordance with deadlines set forth in the PSC's scheduling order, and may not file public comments. Attorneys not licensed in Utah may appear before the PSC after providing to the PSC a certificate of good standing from the state where licensed. The Open and Public Meetings Act contains provisions addressing electronic meetings and minutes of open meetings. These amendments address both of these provisions. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The rule amendments dealing with intervention and attorney representation are for clarification. They do not create any new obligation or program that would increase the PSC's administrative burden. Therefore, no fiscal impact to the state budget is anticipated from these changes. The proposed amendment dealing with electronic meetings could affect the local budget if the Public Service Commission's (PSC's) bridge number is used for a telephonic meeting. Costs of $0.02 a minute per user could be incurred by the PSC. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Local governments are not required to comply with or administer the rules that are amended by this filing. Therefore, no fiscal impact to local government is anticipated. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The rule change requiring intervening businesses, including small businesses, to comply with the PSC's scheduling order will not create costs because such businesses are not required to make filings at all. However, if they choose to make filings, they must do so according to the deadlines set by the PSC. The rule change regarding representation of a party by an attorney will not affect businesses, including small businesses, that have a primary place of business in Utah. Utah businesses uniformly hire local counsel to assist them in proceedings before the PSC and will not be affected by this rule change. However, a business that has a primary place of business outside of Utah and that seeks authorization to provide utility service within the state will be affected positively. Most such businesses use an attorney to ensure compliance with all regulations, but they rarely employ an attorney who is licensed in Utah. Historically, out-of- state attorneys have been required to apply for pro hac vice admission to the Utah State Bar, which costs $300. They have also been required to partner with local counsel, which means that the business must pay an hourly rate (generally between $150 and $450 per hour) for two attorneys rather than for one. The rule change exempting out-of-state attorneys from the pro hac vice admission requirement and the local partnership requirement will result in significant savings for small businesses outside of Utah. Such businesses will save at least $300 (the pro hac vice admission fee) in each proceeding before the PSC. As to electronic meetings, if the PSC's bridge number is not used for a call, and the business or representative of the business would like to use their own personal device, they will incur the cost of the call at the rate of their wireless plan or a long distance charge if calling from a landline. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Affected persons that intervene in a PSC proceeding must comply with any scheduling order issued by the PSC, but are not required to take any action that has associated costs. Persons that retain the assistance of counsel in appearing before the PSC may hire an attorney who is licensed outside of Utah without incurring fees to the Utah State Bar and without having to pay a Utah attorney to partner with the out-of-state attorney. At a minimum, such person will save the $300 fee for pro hac vice admission to the Utah State Bar. Such person will also save the hourly charges that would otherwise be incurred to the Utah attorney. It is very likely that affected persons who live in Utah will hire local counsel. Therefore, the persons most likely to be positively affected by this rule amendment are those that live/operate out of state. As to electronic meetings, if the PSC's bridge number is not used for a call, and the individual would like to use their own personal device, they will incur the cost of the call at the rate of their wireless plan or a long distance charge if calling from a landline. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: To comply, intervenors must make any filings according to the PSC's scheduling order. There are no associated costs. Persons that wish to use out-of-state attorneys to assist them in proceedings before the PSC are relieved of current requirements, with associated savings of at least $300. This amendment regarding electronic meetings should have no impact on compliance costs for affected persons. The rule is only being amended to enact the provisions consistent with the open and public meetings act. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: As stated in the rule analysis, no fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated by adding language to govern electronic meetings and intervention. The rule amendment regarding attorney representation relieves an affected business from costs that would otherwise be required before an out-of-state attorney could represent the business before the PSC. Those costs include a $300 application fee for the out-of-state attorney to obtain pro hac vice admission to the Utah State Bar. The costs would also include the hourly rate (generally between $150 and $450 per hour) of a Utah-licensed attorney to act as local counsel. It should be emphasized that this positive fiscal impact is anticipated to affect only out-of-state businesses, because Utah businesses uniformly hire or retain local counsel. Therefore, after conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that this proposed rule change will not result in a fiscal impact to Utah businesses. Any fiscal impact to out-of-state business will be positive, in the amount of at least $300.

Child Care Assistance. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The state's child care subsidy program is funded primarily through the federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). Congress passed a reauthorization of the CCDF (42 U.S.C. 9858 et seq.) in November 2014, and regulations implementing the reauthorized CCDF requirements became final in November 2016 (see 45 CFR Part 98; 81 FR 67438). These regulations imposed new requirements on states receiving CCDF monies. In particular, the regulations require states to provide child care subsidies during certain allowable "temporary change" periods following a change in circumstances for a parent client receiving a subsidy. The regulations also require additional classes of child care providers and their employees to undergo background checks as a condition of being employed in a facility that receives CCDF funding. The present rule sets forth eligibility criteria, reporting requirements, and application procedures for the "temporary change" program. It also codifies the requirements for license-exempt child care providers that receive CCDF funds to obtain background checks for all employees who will have unsupervised access to children as well as family members living in the home or facility where the child care is being provided. The rule also discards a provision allowing the Department to excuse a provider or individual from the background check requirement. In addition, the rule makes other changes that are primarily aimed at making the Department of Workforce Services' enforcement efforts more effective and codifying Department policy where necessary for enforcement. Specifically, the rule provides new standards for client reporting of material changes in their circumstances, spells out when multiple providers may be paid on one client s behalf in a given month, changes the monthly reporting timeframes for providers, removes the threat of an overpayment for providers caring for children that are not in child care by the 15th of each month (so long as the provider timely reports the child's absence), changes the enforcement timeframe for record-keeping by providers to bring it in line with other elements of the existing rule, sets out a certification procedure for providers to follow to certify the monthly attendance of children who receive child care subsidies, and formalizes Department rules regarding the need for an Employer Identification Number or other tax ID number for each provider. Further, the rule makes technical changes to appeal procedures for those seeking to appeal adverse actions. Specifically, the rule clarifies that appeals of licensing-related issues are to be made to the Office of Child Care Licensing, which enforces those requirements, and also formally allows for providers who are removed from approved provider status to appeal that decision in the same manner as those that appeal a provider disqualification. Finally, the rule closes client eligibility pathways that were intended to be closed previously but were not effectively closed in the prior rule, such as eligibility for clients who receive less than eight hours of child care per month and clients who regularly care for their own children as part of their employment. These changes are expected to save funds for the Department and will bring the eligibility requirements more in line with the purposes of the child care program. The Department has rulemaking authority under Section 35A-3-310. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The following changes are not expected to impact the state budget: Defining allowable temporary changes by rule will not impact the state budget because allowable temporary changes are already being approved as per existing Department policy, consistent with the 2016 amendments to 45 CFR 98.21. The changes to the qualification procedure for temporary change child care will not impact the state budget because the changes merely formalize and clarify existing Department procedures for qualifying for and receiving temporary change child care. The criteria for when a subsidy payment may be made to two providers in one month will not impact the state budget because the criteria represent existing Department policy and are simply being clarified. The removal of approval for hourly child care centers to receive child care payments will not impact the state budget because no hourly centers are approved currently, and hourly centers are not eligible to be licensed by the Office of Child Care Licensing. Directing provider appeals of child care licensing-related issues to the Office of Child Care Licensing will not impact the state budget because no hearings have been previously held, and because changing which office administers any future hearing will not affect the cost of such hearing. Providing specific enforcement authority for the three-year provider record- keeping requirement will not impact the state budget because providers were already required to keep records for three years under Section R986-700-706. Allowing for removal of a provider from approved status for failure to provide an Employer Identification Number or other tax ID number will not impact the state budget because the rule change simply codifies and clarifies existing Department policy. Allowing providers to appeal a decision to remove them from approved provider status will not impact the state budget because no provider has ever sought to appeal removal from approved status, because any appeal would have had to be heard previously in any event because of Utah Administrative Procedure Act requirements, and because the Department's experience is that providers that lose their approved status but are not disqualified primarily direct their efforts toward regaining approved status by coming into compliance with Department rules and policies rather than protesting the Department's decision to remove them from approved status. The removal of the Department's authority to exempt covered individuals working in child care centers from exclusion due to missing or disqualifying background check results will not impact the state budget because the Department had never used this authority and had no intention of using it in the future. The change to background check requirements for license-exempt child care programs will not impact the state budget because the cost of the background check is passed on to the provider requesting the check. The following changes may impact the state budget: The minimum requirement of eight hours of care per month for child care eligibility is expected to impact the state budget. The Department expects to save subsidies of approximately $3,000 per month for children who would no longer be eligible for child care subsidy under the new rule because they fall under the eight-hour threshold. The denial of child care subsidy payments to clients who watch their own children in other than temporary or emergency circumstances is expected impact the state budget. The Department expects to save subsidies of approximately $10,000 per month for children who would no longer be eligible for child care subsidy under the new rule because they are regularly cared for by their parents. The changes to client reporting requirements may impact the state budget because of a possible change in the number of overpayments assessed due to the failure of clients to report additional changes in their circumstances as required by the new rules. However, the Department does not anticipate a change in the number of overpayments caused by the new reporting requirements because previous changes to client reporting requirements in 2005 do not appear to have resulted in a change in the number of overpayments. The requirement that allowable temporary changes be reported may impact the state budget because of a possible change in the number of overpayments assessed due to the failure of clients to report additional changes in their circumstances as required by the new rules. However, the Department does not anticipate a change in the number of overpayments caused by the new reporting requirements because there does not appear to have been a change in the number of overpayments caused by the de facto removal of the reporting requirement for temporary change child care when the program was instituted in October 2016. The changes in provider reporting timeframes may have an impact on the state budget because the Department anticipates having fewer overpayments to process with reporting occurring on the 25th as opposed to the 15th of the month. The Department anticipates savings to the state budget but cannot provide an estimate of the anticipated savings on account of the difficulty in determining whether and to what extent providers will report in a timelier manner with a more forgiving reporting deadline. No longer assessing an overpayment when a client meets the eight-hour requirement after the 25th of the month, so long as the provider is timely in its reporting to the Department, may have an impact on the state budget. The Department anticipates potential savings to the state budget in an as-yet-undetermined amount from administering fewer overpayments. Implementing the requirement that providers certify, on a monthly basis, the attendance of children for whom child care subsidies are being received is expected to result in costs of approximately $400 to the Department to implement the software to be used for the certification program. No meaningful costs are anticipated from provider education efforts or notification to providers of noncompliance with certification requirements, since those tasks will be integrated into the existing pattern of communication with providers without additional cost. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There are no anticipated costs or savings to local governments because the child care program is administered at the state level and does not rely on local government administration or enforcement. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Most if not all child care providers in the state meet the definition of small businesses, and the impacts or lack of impacts to them from the rule changes are described below. No other category of small business is expected to experience an impact from the rule changes because providers are the only category of small business subject to the child care rules. The following changes are not expected to impact small businesses: The minimum requirement of eight hours of care per month for child care eligibility will not impact small businesses because providers were already subject to an overpayment under Section R986-700-715 for clients who received less than eight hours of care per month. The change in client reporting requirements for changed circumstances will not impact small businesses because a change in what clients have to report does not affect the provider reporting burden. The requirement that allowable temporary changes be reported by clients will not impact small businesses because the change impacts only what clients have to report, not what providers have to report. Defining allowable temporary changes by rule will not impact small businesses because allowable temporary changes are already being approved for child care clients as per existing department policy, consistent with the 2016 amendments to 45 CFR 98.21. The changes to the qualification procedure for temporary change child care will not impact small businesses because the changes merely formalize and clarify existing department procedures for qualifying for and receiving temporary change child care. The criteria for when a subsidy payment may be made to two providers in one month will not impact small businesses because the criteria represent existing department policy and are simply being clarified. The removal of approval for hourly child care centers to receive child care payments will not impact small businesses because no hourly centers are approved currently, and hourly centers are not eligible to be licensed by the Office of Child Care Licensing. Directing provider appeals of child care licensing-related issues to the Office of Child Care Licensing will not impact small businesses because no hearings have been previously held, and because changing which office administers any future hearing will not affect the cost of such hearing. The changes in timeframes for provider reporting will not impact small businesses because the change in timeframes allows additional time for providers to report each month, and because no additional reporting burden is being imposed on providers beyond what they are already required to report to the department. Providing specific enforcement authority for the three-year provider record-keeping requirement will not impact small businesses because providers were already required to keep records for three years under Section R986-700-706. Allowing for removal of a provider from approved status for failure to provide an Employer Identification Number or other tax ID number will not impact small businesses because, per existing department policy, providers were already subject to removal from approved provider status if they failed to provide this information. Allowing providers to appeal a decision to remove them from approved provider status will not impact small businesses because no provider has ever sought to appeal removal from approved status, because any appeal would have had to be heard previously in any event because of Utah Administrative Procedure Act requirements, and because the department's experience is that providers that lose their approved status but are not disqualified primarily direct their efforts toward regaining approved status by coming into compliance with department rules and policies rather than protesting the department's decision to remove them from approved status. The removal of the department's authority to exempt covered individuals working in child care centers from exclusion due to missing or disqualifying background check results will not impact small businesses because the department had never used this authority and has no intention of using it in the future. The following changes may impact small businesses: The denial of child care subsidy payments to clients who watch their own children in other than temporary or emergency circumstances may impact small businesses because providers for these clients will no longer receive subsidies on behalf of these clients' children. The average cost of these lost subsidies is expected to be approximately $8 per provider per month, although that average is skewed by the fact that many providers have no cases that would be affected while those with affected cases would have higher costs. The changes in provider reporting timeframes are expected to result in savings to small businesses, specifically, to providers that will now have additional time to timely report to the department and therefore avoid overpayment assessment. The amount of savings cannot be determined until the department observes how providers respond to having more time to report. No longer assessing an overpayment when a client meets the eight- hour requirement after the 25th of the month, so long as the provider is timely in its reporting to the department, may affect small businesses. Specifically, providers may save an as-yet-undetermined amount from receiving fewer overpayments due to children meeting the eight-hour threshold late in the month. The requirement that providers certify the attendance of all children receiving subsidies on a monthly basis may impact small businesses because providers who fail to certify for three months out of any six-month period will be disqualified from receiving child care subsidies. The department is unable to anticipate how many providers will be disqualified due to this requirement but believes its provider outreach efforts will sufficiently inform providers of the certification requirement and prevent disqualification for all providers except those that willfully fail to engage in the certification process. Previous changes to reporting requirements have not resulted in a substantial increase in disqualifications or other adverse actions against providers. Further, the certification requirement does not take effect immediately, so providers will have time to become accustomed to it before any negative consequences take effect. The certification process will not require any additional record-keeping costs beyond those already imposed by the existing rules. The certification process will be electronic and is expected to take approximately one minute per month; this cost is so minimal that the Department is unable to meaningfully calculate it. The change to background check requirements for license-exempt child care programs is expected to impact the approximately 130 license-exempt child care providers receiving child care subsidies from the department. Per Federal Register guidance (81 FR 67554), the typical license-exempt provider is estimated to have approximately 11 employees who would be subject to the background check requirements, and the cost of a background check is estimated to be $55. The same Federal Register guidance also estimates the annual turnover rate for license-exempt child care providers to be approximately 13.5%. Based on these estimates, the estimated initial cost to a typical license-exempt provider will be approximately $600, with annual costs of approximately $80 for background checks for new staff members and ongoing costs of approximately $120 per year to renew background checks as required every five years. These costs will be higher or lower depending on the number of employees a provider has. This is a cost imposed by changes to federal regulations governing the background check requirements of the child care program (45 CFR 98.43). The department has considered methods of reducing the negative fiscal impact of the rule on small businesses in accordance with Subsection 63G-3-301(6) but cannot establish less stringent requirements, schedules, or deadlines; simplify compliance or reporting requirements; replace design standards with performance standards; or exempt small businesses from the proposed rule. This is because aspects of the rule are required by federal law as a condition of receiving CCDF funding, without which the child care program could not function. Those aspects of the rule that are not mandated by federal law must be applied to small businesses because most if not all of the state’s child care providers meet the definition of a small business, and a rule that did not apply to them would not effect the department's goals in a meaningful way. The department has taken steps to reduce the potential impact on small businesses by placing the burden for notifying a client of the client's potential eligibility for temporary change child care on the department, and by delaying the effective date of the provider attendance certification requirement until 02/01/2018 so that providers will have time to become educated on the certification requirement and how to certify. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The following changes are not expected to affected persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities ("other affected persons"): Defining allowable temporary changes by rule will not impact other affected persons because allowable temporary changes are already being approved for child care clients as per existing department policy, consistent with the 2016 amendments to 45 CFR 98.21. The changes to the qualification procedure for temporary change child care will not impact other affected persons because the changes merely formalize and clarify existing department procedures for qualifying for and receiving temporary change child care. The criteria for when a subsidy payment may be made to two providers in one month will not impact other affected persons because the criteria represent existing department policy and are simply being clarified. The removal of approval for hourly child care centers to receive child care payments will not impact other affected persons because no hourly centers are approved currently, and hourly centers are not eligible to be licensed by the Office of Child Care Licensing. Directing provider appeals of child care licensing-related issues to the Office of Child Care Licensing will not impact other affected persons because no hearings have been previously held, and because changing which office administers any future hearing will not affect the cost of such hearing. The changes in timeframes for provider reporting will not impact other affected persons because the change applies only to provider reporting, not client reporting. Providing specific enforcement authority for the three-year provider record-keeping requirement will not impact other affected persons because the record-keeping requirement applies only to providers, not clients. The requirement that providers certify child attendance on a monthly basis will not impact other affected persons because only providers and not clients are required to certify in the manner being prescribed by the rule. Allowing for removal of a provider from approved status for failure to provide an Employer Identification Number or other tax ID number will not impact other affected persons because the rule change simply codifies and clarifies existing department policy. Allowing providers to appeal a decision to remove them from approved provider status will not impact other affected persons because clients are not parties to provider appeals. The change to background check requirements for license- exempt child care programs will not impact other affected persons because clients are not covered by the background check requirements. The removal of the department's authority to exempt covered individuals working in child care centers from exclusion due to missing or disqualifying background check results will not impact other affected persons because the department had never used this authority and had no intention of using it in the future. The following changes may impact other affected persons: The changes to the changed circumstances a client is required to report to the department may impact other affected persons because clients who fail to follow these requirements may be assessed an overpayment by the department. However, previous changes to reporting requirements in 2005 do not appear to have resulted in an increased number of overpayments, so the department does not anticipate an increase in the number of overpayments from the proposed change. The department does not anticipate any impact from the reporting process itself because clients are already required to regularly report changes in circumstances to the department. The requirement that allowable temporary changes be reported may impact other affected persons because clients who fail to follow these requirements may be assessed an overpayment by the department. However, the department does not anticipate a change in the number of overpayments caused by the new reporting requirements because there does not appear to have been a change in the number of overpayments caused by the de facto removal of the reporting requirement for temporary change child care when the program was instituted in October 2016. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: The compliance costs consist of the provider certification process. This process will be electronic and is expected to take approximately one minute per month; this cost is so minimal that the Department is unable to meaningfully calculate it. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: I. WHETHER A FISCAL IMPACT TO BUSINESS IS EXPECTED AS A RESULT OF THE PROPOSED RULE AND, IF SO, A DESCRIPTION OF WHY: The proposed rule may result in a fiscal impact to some businesses. Child care providers whose clients currently receive subsidy payments to watch their own children may lose business as a result of that subsidy no longer being available. Providers are expected to save money as a result of the changes to the Department's reporting timeframes because there may be fewer overpayments assessed against providers who report timely. Providers will see at least some minimal impact from the requirement that they certify attendance for subsidized children on a monthly basis. License-exempt providers will be impacted by the requirement to obtain background checks for all employees and household members. II. AN ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS IN UTAH EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTED: The number of businesses that are impacted by the proposed rule is difficult to predict because some of the potential impacts are not certain to occur. There are approximately 130 license-exempt providers that will now have to obtain background checks as a condition of receiving CCDF funding. The Department estimates, at most, approximately 70 to 80 providers will be impacted by the loss of subsidy on behalf of clients who will no longer be eligible under the proposed rule. III. AN ESTIMATE OF THE SMALL BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS IN UTAH EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTED: The proposed rule will likely only have a fiscal impact on small businesses because small businesses constitute most if not all the child care providers in the state. IV. A DESCRIPTION OF THE SOURCES OF COST OR SAVINGS AS WELL AS THE EXPECTED NET SAVINGS OR COST TO BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS AND SMALL BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS AS A RESULT OF THE PROPOSED RULE OVER A ONE- YEAR PERIOD, IDENTIFYING ONE-TIME AND ONGOING COSTS: The background check requirement is expected to cost the typical license-exempt provider approximately $600 as a fixed cost for background checks for existing employees, and approximately $200 per year to renew background checks or provide checks for new employees. The denial of child care subsidy payments to clients who watch their own children in other than temporary or emergency circumstances is expected to cost affected providers approximately $100 per month until the child care slot vacated by a lost client is filled. Any savings from the absence of overpayments due to changes in the reporting timeframes are expected to be ongoing, although as noted above any such savings cannot be determined at this point. V. DEPARTMENT HEAD'S COMMENTS ON THE ANALYSIS: The primary cost of the rule is expected to come in the form of the background check requirement for license-exempt providers, which is a federally imposed requirement over which the Department has no control. The Department expects that costs from the loss of no-longer-subsidized child care clients will be minor and limited in duration because child care providers are typically able to fill vacated slots with other clients.
