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:
This rule implements Article XX of the Utah Constitution and Section 65A-10-1, which establish the Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands and the management authority for sovereign lands.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The Division has not received any written comments with regard to this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule provides for the management and classification of the surface of sovereign lands in Utah, which include but are not limited to the beds of Bear Lake, the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, the Jordan River, the Bear River from the Amalga Bridge to the Great Salt lake, the summer channel of the Bear River from the Utah-Idaho border to the Amalga Bridge, and portions of the beds of the Green and Colorado Rivers. Should any other lakes or streams or portions thereof be declared navigable by the courts, the beds of such lakes or streams would fall under the authority of these rules. It also provides for the issuance of special use leases, general permits and easements on sovereign lands, and the procedures and fees necessary to obtain these rights of use. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
