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:

Subsection 9-8-305(1)(c) authorizes Rule R807-1 by allowing and requiring the Division of State History to make rules for the issuance of permits related to surveying or excavating state lands, including rules that require proof of consultation with the Utah Museum of Natural History regarding curation of collections. Rule R807-1 is also required by Subsections 53B-17-603(2) and (4)(a), which require the Utah Museum of Natural History to make rules to ensure the adequate curation of all collections from lands owned or controlled by the state or its subdivisions and which require all collections recovered from state lands to be deposited at the Utah Museum of Natural History or a curation facility or repository.

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:

Rule R807-1 is necessary to the Utah Museum of Natural History and as part of the statewide process for protecting archaeological resources recovered from state lands. Among other things, Rule R807-1 establishes standards for curation and the obligations of repositories and curation facilities and therefore should be continued.
