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 is authorized under the Utah Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, Section 40-10-1 et seq., which is the statutory basis for the Utah coal regulatory primacy program implemented in Utah for the U.S. Office of Surface Mining. The Utah statute is equivalent to the federal law.

 

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 comments in opposition to or in support of the rule 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:

Utah is required to have a state regulatory program that is no less effective than the equivalent federal program to maintain its state primacy role; this rule in part serves that purpose.
