Nurse Practice Act Rule. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: In Section R156-31b-102, the definition for "accreditation" was revised to reflect consistency with the Nurse Practice Act as enacted during the 2015 General Session. The definitions for "ACEN", "CCNE", "COA", and "NLNAC" were removed. These definitions are no longer necessary based on the change to the definition of "accreditation". The definition for "licensure by equivalency" was revised to clarify requirements for this licensure option. The definition for "psychiatric mental health nursing specialty" was revised to reflect current nursing roles and practice. In Section R156-31b-301a, the reference to a specific accrediting body was removed. A specific reference is no longer needed with the revised definition of accreditation. In Section R156-31b-301c, the name of the certifying body for nurse anesthetists was updated to reflect the body's proper name. The language about the potential for the board to approve alternatives for supervision of a psychiatric mental health advanced practice registered nurse was removed. The board determined that there is no need for exceptions to the existing rule for statutorily required supervision of psychiatric mental health advanced practice registered nurses. Subsection R156-31b-309(3) was eliminated, based on a board determination that it was redundant. Subsection R156-31b-309(2) adequately describes the time-frame associated with issuance of an intern license for any advanced practice registered nurse. In Section R156-31b-602, The requirements for limited-time approval of non-accredited nursing education programs were revised to: 1) clarify expectations of the non-accredited program by outlining requirements designed to protect the nursing student and support the program in achieving accreditation within a reasonable time-frame; and 2) reflect the revised definition of "accreditation" consistent with the Nurse Practice Act as enacted during the 2015 General Session. In Section R156-31b-609, the standards for out-of-state programs providing clinical experiences in Utah were revised to: 1) clarify that any out-of-state nursing program planning to place nursing students in Utah facilities or agencies need approval; 2) clarify that only nursing faculty providing face-to-face supervision of clinical experiences will need to be licensed in Utah or a Compact state; 3) clarify that the out-of-state programs must maintain accreditation and report to the Utah Board of Nursing any changes in accreditation status; and 4) describe requirements for an annual report to be submitted to the Utah Board of Nursing. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The division will incur minimal costs of approximately $75 to print and distribute the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective. Any costs incurred will be absorbed in the division's current budget. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: The proposed amendments apply only to the nursing profession. As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The division is not aware of any educational institution with a nursing education program that employs fewer than 50 employees. Therefore, there are no identified costs or savings for small businesses. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The division anticipates there are no identified costs or savings for other persons as a result of these proposed amendments. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: Non-accredited nursing education programs that are granted time-limited approval in Utah will incur costs associated with seeking limited-time approval. These programs will be required to establish a time-line for achieving accreditation and submit a written report which includes plans and processes consistent with its selected accrediting body. These programs will incur costs associated with developing and submitting this report; however, the program should already have developed this information for its accrediting body. In addition, the increased clarity of the Nurse Practice Act Rule is likely to decrease the time the program may have spent in the past seeking limited-time approval of the program. Compliance costs for non-accredited nursing education programs cannot be further estimated; costs should not increase beyond current levels. Nursing education programs based outside of Utah, seeking clinical experiences in Utah, will incur costs associated with seeking approval of their program in Utah. The majority of state boards of nursing require a program based outside of its state border to submit an application and a fee. Utah does not require submission of any fees, the lack of fees is a benefit to these programs. In addition, increasing the clarity of the requirements for approval will minimize the time the program may have spent (e.g., contacting the division with questions) in the past seeing approval of the program. Eliminating the requirement for faculty to obtain licensure in Utah (if not licensed in a compact state) will decrease compliance costs for individual faculty. Compliance costs for out-of-state nursing education programs providing clinical experiences in Utah cannot be further estimated; costs should not increase beyond current levels. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: As stated in the rule analysis, this filing adds and clarifies definitions for accreditation to be consistent with the new Nurse Practice Act, enacted in 2015, deletes unnecessary definitions and redundant requirements, clarifies requirements for limited-time approval of non- accredited nursing education programs, and clarifies standards for out-of- state programs providing clinical experiences in Utah.

Hot Mix Asphalt Plants. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The rule currently states that "production shall be determined by scale house records or equivalent method on a daily basis." EPA requested three equivalent methods. DAQ is proposing to replace "equivalent method" with "belt scale records" and "manifest statements." The rule now provides three equivalent methods as EPA requested. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There will be no costs or savings for the state budget because the rule already allowed "equivalent methods." The amendment now gives specific examples of equivalent methods to help regulated entities understand what methods are permitted. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There will be no costs or savings for local government because the rule already allowed "equivalent methods." The amendment now gives specific examples of equivalent methods to help regulated entities understand what methods are permitted. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There will be no costs or savings for small businesses because the rule already allowed "equivalent methods."

Loading of Tank Trucks, Trailers, Railroad Tank Cars, and Other Transport Vehicles. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The rule states that gasoline loading shall be performed by "submerged filling or alternative equivalent methods." DAQ is proposing to remove "alternative equivalent methods" because filling should be performed via submerged delivery to reduce VOC generation. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There will be no costs or savings to the state budget because there is no equivalent method to "submerged filling." As a result, removing the phrase "equivalent method" will only have the impact of more clearly describing the appropriate method for gasoline loading. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There will be no costs or savings for local government because there is no equivalent method to "submerged filling." As a result, removing the phrase "equivalent method" will only have the impact of more clearly describing the appropriate method for gasoline loading. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There will be no costs or savings for small businesses because there is no equivalent method to "submerged filling." As a result, removing the phrase "equivalent method" will only have the impact of more clearly describing the appropriate method for gasoline loading. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There will be no costs or savings for other persons because there is no equivalent method to "submerged filling."

Definitions. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: This rule removes the greenhouse gas tailoring rule that regulated new and existing stationary sources. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: This amendment will save the state budget any costs associated with enforcement and compliance with the greenhouse gas tailoring rule. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: This amendment will not likely affect local governments because the rule would have been administered at the state level. - SMALL BUSINESSES: This amendment will not likely affect small businesses because most small businesses were not regulated under the rule. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Other persons will not likely be affected by this rule. The rule was mainly regulating businesses and government entities. Any other persons affected will likely save money as a result of the rule because the rule is repealing the requirement that some greenhouse gas sources are regulated. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: Affected persons will save money regarding compliance because they will no longer have to comply with the greenhouse gas tailoring rule. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: This rule will likely have a positive fiscal impact on businesses. Large businesses that were regulated under this rule will no longer incur any costs associated with compliance. Most small businesses will not see an impact because they were not regulated under this rule before the amendment.

Utah Asbestos Rule. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The rule was amended to regulate Libby Amphibole as required by the Utah Legislature. The rule was also amended to make procedural changes to the administration of the asbestos program. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The state budget will be impacted if the state needs to demolish a building that contains Libby Amphibole as defined by this regulation. It is unknown how many buildings in the state of Utah contain this substance, but the costs will be correlated with the amount of buildings that do contain Libby Amphibole. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Local government will be impacted if that government needs to demolish a building that contains Libby Amphibole as defined by this regulation. It is unknown how many buildings in the state of Utah contain this substance, but the costs will be correlated with the amount of buildings that do contain Libby Amphibole. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Small businesses will be impacted if they need to demolish a building that contains Libby Amphibole as defined by this regulation. It is unknown how many buildings in the state of Utah contain this substance, but the costs will be correlated with the amount of buildings that do contain Libby Amphibole. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Other persons will be impacted if they need to demolish a building that contains Libby Amphibole as defined by this regulation. It is unknown how many buildings in the state of Utah contain this substance, but the costs will be correlated with the amount of buildings that do contain Libby Amphibole. There are also health costs benefits of this rule. For example, possibly lower instances of mesothelioma. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: Affected persons will now have to hire a certified asbestos worker to demolish a building containing Libby Amphibole as defined by the rule. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: Businesses will be impacted if they need to demolish a building that contains Libby Amphibole as defined by this regulation. It is unknown how many buildings in the state of Utah contain this substance, but the costs will be correlated with the amount of buildings that do contain Libby Amphibole. A minority of businesses that deal with asbestos removal and abatement will see a positive fiscal impact because of the expansion of regulated material under the asbestos rule.

Onsite Wastewater Systems. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The changes include formatting clarifications, some minor onsite system design changes, and some minor changes to the percolation test procedures. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: These changes will not result in any change in work load for state staff working in this area. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There should be no anticipated cost to local government. These changes may result in a very slight savings to local government by slightly reducing the burden of percolation test requirements in certain situations, where local government performs those tests. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Like with local government above, no measurable costs or savings should be realized as a result of these changes, but they may result in a very slight savings to small businesses by slightly reducing the burden of percolation test requirements in certain situations, where small businesses perform those tests. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: These changes may result in a very slight savings to other persons by slightly reducing the burden of percolation test requirements in certain situations, where other persons may perform those tests. There is no measurable amount that can be specified. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: These changes may result in other cost savings to the regulated community by enacting slight relaxations in the requirements for designing septic systems, but there are no changes in compliance costs. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: I see no fiscal impact on businesses due to these changes since they are mostly minor adjustments to the soil testing procedures. This may allow septic systems to be installed on properties that did not previously allow development, but the change is very small and the impact will probably be imperceptible.

Disclosure of Records. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: A subsection is removed because it is unnecessary and it creates confusion. Subsection 26-2-22(3)(b) adequately defines what is meant by a designated legal representative. Section R436-13- 2 is added to establish methods for health care providers, public health entities, and health care insurers to coordinate among themselves to verify the identity of individuals they serve. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: UDOH does not currently disclose vital records data under circumstances specified in H.B. 25 (2012) because there are not established methods for such disclosure specified in rule. After establishing these methods in this rule filing, UDOH will likely experience an increase in workload. The increased workload will come as it begins to respond to requests from health care providers, public health entities, and health care insurers to use UDOH death data to verify the identity of individuals that these entities serve. UDOH will charge a $500 death notification subscription fee for organizations with lists including less than or equal to 100,000 records and a $1,000 fee for lists including over 100,000 records. Entities using this service will be charged $1 per matched death record. UDOH is unable to estimate the number of new data requests prompted by this rule amendment; however, the revenue generated for this service is anticipated to cover the cost of the increased workload. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: The proposed amendments only apply to health care providers, public health entities, and health care insurers. As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The proposed rule amendment may have cost saving impact on health care providers and insurers that are small businesses that choose to request data from UDOH. Cost savings may be experienced when these small businesses use UDOH data to help verify the identity of individuals they serve. UDOH is unable to estimate the extent of cost savings to these small businesses. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The proposed amendments may have cost saving impact on health care providers, public health entities, and health care insurers that are not small businesses. Cost savings may be experienced when these entities use UDOH data to help verify the identity of individuals they serve. UDOH is unable to estimate the extent of cost savings to these entities. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: The proposed amendments may have cost saving impact on individual health care providers, public health entities, and health care insurers. Cost savings may be experienced when these entities use UDOH data to help verify the identity of individuals they serve. UDOH is unable to estimate the extent of cost savings to these entities. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The proposed rule amendment may have cost saving impact on health care providers and insurers that are small businesses that choose to request data from UDOH but UDOH is unable to estimate the extent of cost savings to these small businesses.

Small Employer Stop-Loss Insurance. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The change eliminates the requirement that stop-loss insurers use a standard application when marketing to small employers. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There is no anticipated cost or savings to state budget because the rule change deals solely with a single application used during a transaction. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There is no anticipated cost or savings to local government because the rule change deals solely with a single application used during a transaction. - SMALL BUSINESSES: There is no anticipated cost or savings to small businesses because the rule change deals solely with a single application used during a transaction. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: There is no anticipated cost or savings to any other persons because the rule change deals solely with a single application used during a transaction. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs for affected persons. The change eliminates an application form that was previously required by this rule, but was removed by legislation in H.B. 24 (2015). COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: There will be no fiscal impact on any businesses. The rule change only deals with a single form used during a transaction between stop- loss insurers and their small employer clients. The change brings the rule into compliance with legislation.

ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: Designating adjudicatory proceedings as informal imposes no cost upon the state. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Designating adjudicatory proceedings as informal imposes no cost upon local governments. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Designating adjudicatory proceedings as informal imposes no cost upon small business. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Designating adjudicatory proceedings as informal imposes no cost upon any other persons.

SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed rule provides for the governance of the division's policies and procedures regarding how penalties will be issued, and the right of aggrieved parties to appeal. It also extends the reporting time frame for insurance carriers from 7 to 14 days. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: Extending the time frame to report injuries and codifying appeal rights to penalties imposes no costs on the state budget. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Extending the time frame to report injuries and codifying appeal rights to penalties imposes no costs on local government. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Extending the time frame to report injuries and codifying appeal rights to penalties imposes no costs on small businesses. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Extending the time frame to report injuries and codifying appeal rights to penalties imposes no costs on persons other than small businesses, businesses or local government entities.

Section 59-2-515. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: Section 59-2-515 authorizes the State Tax Commission to promulgate rules regarding the Property Tax Act, Part 5, Farmland Assessment Act. Section 59-2-514 authorizes the State Tax Commission to receive valuation recommendations from the State Farmland Advisory Committee for implementation as outlined in Section R884-24P-53. The rule sets the acreage value rates for 418 separate class-county combinations. This year it is proposed that 126 rates decrease slightly, 164 increase slightly, and 128 have no change. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The amount of savings or cost to state government is undetermined. The state receives tax revenue for assessing and collecting and for the Education Fund based on increased or decreased real and personal property valuation, including property assessed under the FAA. Property valuation (taxable value) changes have been recommended by class and by county. This year it is proposed that 126 rates decrease slightly, 164 increase slightly, and 128 have no change. No total cost or savings can be calculated without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class and a listing of property newly qualifying or no longer qualifying for FAA in the coming year. However, it is estimated that the overall change is minimal due to this amendment. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: The amount of savings or cost to local government is undetermined. Local governmental entities receive tax revenue based on increased or decreased property valuation, including property assessed under FAA. Property valuation changes have been recommended by class and by county. This year it is proposed that 126 rates decrease slightly, 164 increase slightly, and 128 have no change. No total cost or savings can be calculated without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class and a listing of property newly qualifying or no longer qualifying for FAA in the coming year. However, it is estimated that the overall change is minimal due to this amendment. County assessors' offices statewide will be required to input the new value indicators into their computer systems to be applied against the acreage for individual properties. This input process is easily accomplished on an annual basis and represents no significant cost in time or money to the assessors' offices. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Each property owner with property eligible for assessment under FAA may see a change in value, depending on property class and situs county. The effect on the property owner will depend on the mix of property types and situs. No total cost or savings can be calculated without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class and a listing of property newly qualifying or no longer qualifying for FAA in the coming year. In addition, the cost will be further altered by changes to local property tax rates. However, it is estimated that the overall change due to this amendment is minimal. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Each property owner with property eligible for assessment under FAA may see a change in value, depending on property class and situs county. The effect on the property owner will depend on the mix of property types and situs. No total cost or savings can be calculated without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class and a listing of property newly qualifying or no longer qualifying for FAA in the coming year. In addition, the cost will be further altered by changes to local property tax rates. However, it is estimated that the overall change due to this amendment is minimal. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: Each property owner with property eligible for assessment under FAA may see a change in value, depending on property class and situs county.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Rules. REASONED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RULE, INCLUDING REASONS WHY THE AGENCY DISAGREES WITH COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE RULE, IF ANY: The Utah Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Act was enacted by the 1987 Utah State Legislature to oversee those that professionally distributed, dispensed, transported, delivered, or installed LP gas systems in the state of Utah. This safety program has substantially lowered LP gas incidents across the state during the many year history of the program. This program should be extended for another five years for the continued safety it provides by its existence. The two times that most LP gas incidents occur is when there is product being transferred or the problem of overfilling the LP gas container. This safety act has indeed lowered each of those concerns and made Utah a safer place to live, work, and recreate. Although the only comment received is over the five-year time frame, this was a safety retrofit of all LP gas containers and was done all across the nation. All new bottles produced in or after 2010 have the upgraded valves in place. Filling companies are not allowed to fill any bottle with propane which has outdated valves. Therefore, this rule should be continued.

Rules Pursuant to Fire Service Training, Education, and Certification. REASONED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RULE, INCLUDING REASONS WHY THE AGENCY DISAGREES WITH COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE RULE, IF ANY: The Utah State Legislature established the organization, responsibility and funding for a fire academy which would provide training for all firefighters within the State of Utah many years ago. In 1993, the legislature also included a permanent funding source for such training programs and thereby enabled all firefighters, career and volunteer to receive said training free of charge for their departments and respective municipalities, special service districts and counties. An annual contract is completed between the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy, a division within the Utah Valley University and Utah Fire Prevention Board, through the Commissioner of Public Safety for the services rendered in the training, education and certification arena for all firefighters. The rules that the Utah Fire Prevention Board has established surrounding the establishment of the fire training academy and the firefighters should continue for the next five years.

NOTICES OF RULE EFFECTIVE DATES State law provides for agencies to make their administrative rules effective and enforceable after publication in the Utah State Bulletin. In the case of Proposed Rules or Changes in Proposed Rules with a designated comment period, the law permits an agency to make a rule effective 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 case of Changes in Proposed Rules with no designated comment period, the law permits an agency to make a rule effective on any date including or after the thirtieth day after the rule's publication date, but not more than 120 days after the publication date. If an agency fails to file a Notice of Effective Date within 120 days from the publication of a Proposed Rule or a related Change in Proposed Rule the rule lapses. Agencies have notified the Division of Administrative Rules that the rules listed below have been made effective. Notices of Effective Date are governed by Subsection 63G-3-301(12), Section 63G-3-303, and Sections R15-4-5a and R15-4-5b.
