RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Utah Fire Prevention Board met on November 14, 2006, in a regularly scheduled Board meeting and voted by majority to make a number of amendments to the currently adopted rule for the purpose of adopting the 2006 edition of the International Fire Code and other incorporated National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) references.

Summary of the rule or change:

The proposed rule amendments to R710-9 are as follows: 1) in Subsection R710-9-1(1.3), the Board proposes to insert language that correctly reflects the contents of the rule; 2) in Subsections R710-9-1(1.4.1) and (1.5), the Board proposes to update the currently adopted International Fire Code, 2003 edition, to the 2006 edition; 3) in Subsection R710-9-1(1.5.5), the Board proposes to update the currently used National Electric Code, 2002 edition, to the 2005 edition; 4) in Subsection R710-9-1(1.5.7), the Board proposes to update the currently used NFPA Life Safety Code 101, 2003 edition, to the 2006 edition; 5) in Subsection R710-9-1(1.6), the Board proposes to update the currently used NFPA Standard 96, 2001 edition, to the 2004 edition; 6) in Section R710-9-6, the Board proposes to strike out a number of currently used references because they were changed in the newly adopted codes, they are no longer needed, or they were moved in the rule text; and 7) also in Section R710-9-6, the Board proposes to add a number of references to this section that clarifies the newly adopted incorporated references, modifies portions of the codes for specific needs in the State of Utah, and rewrites several previously adopted amendments to be correct with the newly adopted standards.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 53-7-204

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

1) the International Fire Code, 2006 edition, as published by the International Code Council; 2) NFPA 70, National Electric Code, 2005 edition, as published by the National Fire Protection Association; 3) NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, 2006 edition, as published by the National Fire Protection Association; and 4) NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, 2004 edition, as published by the National Fire Protection Association

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There would be an aggregate anticipated cost to the state budget of approximately $3,500 to purchase the needed incorporated references for those employees that would need copies of these references to complete their job.

local governments:

There would be a cost to local government officials of approximately $245 per person to purchase all the needed incorporated standards that are being updated. An aggregate anticipated cost of all local government purchases is impossible to predict due to the unknown number of codes that would be purchased, and the unknown number of employees that would need codes and which codes would they purchase.

other persons:

The cost for Other persons would be approximately $245 per person to purchase all the newly updated standards. The aggregate anticipated cost to all other persons is also impossible to predict due to the completely unknown number of other persons that would be purchasing the codes and which codes would they purchase.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Compliance costs for affected persons would be approximately $245 to each affected person that would purchase all the updated standards for usage.

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

There would be a fiscal impact to businesses only if the business wished to purchase one of the incorporated references to assist them with the known regulations. Other than that, there is no fiscal impact to businesses for the implementation of this proposed rule amendment. Scott T. Duncan, Commissioner
