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:
Subsection 53C-1-302(1)(a)(ii) and Title 53C, Chapter 2 et seq. authorize the director of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration to establish rules for the issuance of mineral leases and management of trust-owned lands and mineral resources.
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 for this rule since the last five-year review.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration manages over 4,000,000 acres of subsurface mineral rights located throughout the State of Utah for the benefit of the public schools and other beneficiaries. Much of this acreage is currently under lease to third parties for mineral development which consistently provides revenues for the beneficiaries of the land. Rules governing the management and use of these mineral resources are critical to the continued success in managing the resources. This rule also provides a consistent set of procedures as to how business is conducted by the agency for customers to follow. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
