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 Subsection 40-6-10(1) which requires the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining to enact rules governing its practice and procedure that are not inconsistent with the Administrative Procedures Act.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Written comments were received from the Bureau of Land Management, Utah State Office, and from the Office of Surface Mining, Denver Field Branch, in April of 2017. Neither federal agency was opposed to renewal nor had any recommendations for modification.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule should be continued so that the rules for practice and procedure for proceedings before the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining remain in place for use by petitioners, respondents, the Board, and other parties.
