NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Subsections 53C-1-302(1)(a)(ii) and 53C-2-301(1)(g) authorize the Director of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration to establish rules consistent with general policies prescribed by the Board of Trustees. Subsection 41-22-10.1(2) authorizes the agency to designate trails, streets, or highways as open to off-highway vehicle use.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received by the agency since this rule was comprehensively amended in August, 2010, and became effective 10/25/2010.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Off-highway vehicle usage is a rapidly increasing recreational past-time. This rule is crucial to the effective management of this usage on trust lands in order to protect the environment and the value of the lands. The rule contains the guidelines establishing routes, usage, signage, types of vehicles, route widths, and restrictions. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
