RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The rule changes the process of archaeological or anthropological landmark designation of sites by changing the language from nomination by a property owner to written consent of the property by the owner.

Summary of the rule or change:

In Subsection R212-6-2(B)(4), the amended change adds property owner definition applying to all fee simple title property. In Section R212-6-4, the amended rule changes nomination of a property by an owner to written consent of a property by the owner.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 9-8-306
• Section 9-8-302
• Section 9-8-402
• Section 9-8-401
• Section 9-8-403

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

None--The existing rule requires the owner to nominate and give written consent. The proposed rule requires written consent by the property owner; however the nomination can be prepared by anyone. One could therefore argue and reasonably so that the proposed rule is less expensive on the property owner because nominating the property is more complex than written consent. This said, the state process is unchanged because the property still has to be nominated and the consent of the owner still has to be given.

local governments:

This rule exists between the state and the property owner. Any relation to local government is unchanged. Local governments are provided the ability to comment on nominations and listings if they have a certified local government (CLG). The new change does not change this authority.

small businesses:

This rule has no impact on small businesses. This rule is about listing historic buildings and archaeological sites with written consent of property owner.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

This rule gives no new authority to anyone and retains the property owners authority to not give written consent.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

None--If an owner does not give written consent and does nothing, the property cannot be listed. The existing rule also requires owner consent, net there is no change.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This amended rule change will have no impact because if the property owner does nothing, the designation cannot proceed.
