NotesRule incorporates the NASBA/AICPA Standards; no provider approval. The Utah law/rules hour is content-defined (CPE Audit Service asks whether the course includes at least 1 hour on the Act and Rule), so the Utah module must carry at least 1.0 credit on Title 58 ch. 26a and R156-26a. Utah reports CPE through NASBA CPE Audit Service.
