NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 73-18-11 states that the board will adopt rules for the regulating of muffling devices on all vessels.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

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

Without this rule in place, the sound levels of mufflers, creation of loud noises, alterations and the removal of mufflers all together would create dense noise pollution. With a few exemptions for vessels operating in racing events, etc., this rule should be renewed for five years to continue to help the waters of Utah be enjoyable for vessels to operate without excessive or usual noise.
