    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:

    Section 40-10-6 provides for rulemaking authority to the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining as necessary for the regulation of coal mining operations and reclamation operations. Section 40-10-28 specifically establishes provisions for potential recovery of reclamation costs.

    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 establishes procedures that are necessary for recovery of the cost of reclamation activities conducted on private land by the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program. This rule should be continued so the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program continues to retain primacy under the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.
