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 34A-1-104 gives the Labor Commission authority to establish rules to administer the Workers' Compensation Act and the Occupational Disease Act. Section 34A-2-201 authorizes the commission to approve employers' requests for permission to self-insure their workers' compensation obligations.

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 during and since the last five-year review of this rule.

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

The Labor Commission has been given the responsibility to see that all employers in the state have workers' compensation insurance. This rule establishes the method by which a Utah employer can provide its own insurance in the areas of workers' compensation and occupational diseases. This rule also sets forth the method for review of a denial of self-insured status and should be continued.
