LABOR SERVICES DIVISION[875]
Adopted and Filed
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 89.14, the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Board hereby amends Chapter 90, “Administration of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Program,” and Chapter 91, “General Requirements for All Objects,” Iowa Administrative Code.
Pursuant to Iowa Code subsection 89.14(7), every three years the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Board reviews all administrative rules adopted by the Board. Most of the items in this rule making are a result of that review.
The purposes of these amendments are to make the rules more current, improve record keeping to make sure that repairs are performed safely, make the rules clearer, protect the safety of the public, and implement legislative intent. Adopting rules that are consistent with current industry standards allows installation of the most recent technologies in Iowa.
Notice of Intended Action was published in the December 24, 2014, Iowa Administrative Bulletin as ARC 1798C. No public comment was received on the proposed amendments.
In Items 6 to 9, dates were changed to reflect the effective date of the amendments.
After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.
