349 accordance with the procedures prescribed in Subsection (3)(c).

356 each application and may participate in a hearing. The administrator shall issue a rule or order
357 if the administrator determines on the record, after opportunity for an inspection where
358 appropriate and a hearing, that the proponent of the variance has demonstrated by a
359 preponderance of the evidence that the conditions, practices, means, methods, operations, or
360 processes used or proposed to be used by an employer will provide employment and a
361 workplace to the employer's employees that are as safe and healthful as those which would
362 prevail if the employer complied with the standard.
363 (b) The rule or order issued under Subsection (4)(a) shall prescribe the conditions the
364 employer must maintain, and the practices, means, methods, operations and processes that the
365 employer must adopt and use to the extent they differ from the standard in question.
366 (c) A rule or order issued under Subsection (4)(a) may be modified or revoked upon
367 application by an employer, employees, or by the administrator on its own motion, in the
368 manner prescribed for its issuance under Subsection (4) at any time after six months from its
369 issuance.

377 district court having jurisdiction for judicial review. A copy of the petition shall be served
378 upon the division by the petitioner. The filing of a petition may not, unless otherwise ordered
379 by the court, operate as a stay of the standard. The determinations of the division shall be
380 conclusive if supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole.
381 (7) In determining the priority for establishing standards under this section, the division
382 shall give due regard to the urgency of the need for mandatory safety and health standards for
383 particular industries, trades, crafts, occupations, businesses, workplaces or work environments.
384 The administrator shall also give due regard to the recommendations of the Department of
