RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This proposed amendment updates Rule R710-8 with the current incorporated references that are currently adopted in all the other administrative rules that are overseen by the Utah Fire Prevention Board.

Summary of the rule or change:

On January 2, 2004, the 2003 edition of the International Fire Code became the fire code for the State of Utah. On January 1, 2004, the 2003 International Building Code became the building code for the State of Utah. Rule R710-8 was not updated at that time by error to the currently adopted incorporated references. This rule filing corrects that mistake.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 53-7-204

The International Fire Code (IFC), 2003 edition, as published by the International Code Council; and the International Building Code (IBC), 2003 edition, as published by the International Code Council

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There would be a cost of $59 per volume to purchase the 2003 International Fire Code and a cost of $72 per volume to purchase the 2003 International Building Code. The aggregate anticipated cost to the state budget would be approximately $3,200 to purchase these incorporated references.

local governments:

There would be a cost of $59 per volume to purchase the 2003 International Fire Code and a cost of $72 per volume to purchase the 2003 International Building Code. The aggregate anticipated cost to local government is impossible to predict since the number of volumes to be purchased by local government is unknown.

other persons:

There is no aggregate anticipated cost or savings to other persons because these proposed rule changes do not effect other persons with regard to cost unless they want to purchase the codes. There would be a cost of $59 per volume to purchase the 2003 International Fire Code and $72 per volume to purchase the International Building Code.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There would be a cost of $59 per volume to purchase the 2003 International Fire Code and $72 per volume to purchase the International Building Code.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

There is no fiscal impact to businesses for the enactment of these proposed rule amendments.
