Commission to publish changes limiting resubmission of private letter ruling requests
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved submitting amendments to R861-1A-34 to remove resubmission of identical private letter ruling requests, require certain challenges be filed as petitions for declaratory order within 30 days, and specify hearing procedures for those petitions.
The Commission voted to submit proposed amendments to R861-1A-34, which narrow procedures for private letter rulings. The amendments remove the ability for a party to resubmit the same private letter ruling request after a ruling and direct parties to pursue appeals or, for other challenges, a petition for declaratory order within 30 days.
Commissioner Rebecca L. Rockwell explained the change and said the petition process "must be heard by at least one commissioner with any applicable division appearing as an interested party." The draft clarifies the appropriate route for challenges outside the appeals process and assigns the commission a role in hearing declaratory order petitions. The Commission took a roll-call vote and approved submission for publication in the Utah State Bulletin.
