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:

This rule is authorized pursuant to Section 54-1-1 which requires the commission to exercise its rulemaking powers. Subsection 63-46b-21(2) requires each agency to issue rules defining procedure for filing petitions for declaratory rulings.

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:

Rule R746-101 should be continued because it continues to be required by Subsection 63-46b-21(2). It identifies and sets forth the procedure for filing a Petition for Declaratory Ruling, the format of a petition, and the procedure of review and disposition of the petition. This rule makes it clear to the public what is expected from a petitioner and what they can expect from the commission when they need an explanation of rights, status, interests, or other legal relationships under a statute, rule, or order.
