    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 as necessary for the regulation of coal mining operations and reclamation operations. Subsection 40-10-5(2) specifically authorizes an exemption from Title 40, Chapter 10, for extraction of coal as an incidental part of federal, state, or local government-financed highway, or other construction under rules established by the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining.

    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 it establishes an exemption to the coal mining and reclamation requirements for extraction of coal that is incidental to a government-financed highway or other construction. This rule should be continued so Utah's Coal Program continues to retain primacy under the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.
