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:
Sections 40-10-6 and 40-10-6.5 provide rulemaking authority to the Board of Oil, Gas, and Mining (Board) for rules that are specifically necessary for the regulation of coal mining operations and reclamation operations.
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.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule is necessary as Subsection 40-10-6(2) gives duties to the Board and the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining; Coal, to authorize its employees, agents, or contractors to enter upon any property for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of Title 40, Chapters 8 and 10. This rule should be continued so Utah's Coal Program continues to retain primacy under the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.
