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 lists the times when a fire may be lighted and where, and what is required in order to use fire. It lists the extinguishing of fires, throwing or dropping of burning material, and posted restrictions in park areas. Section 63-11-17 allows the board to make rules and in this case under Subsections 63-11-17(1)(a)(ii) and (iii), it shows that the rules the board may make include misuse, damage to natural and cultural resources and to protect the pubic and preserve the peace. This rule clearly supports the code.

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 important to the safety and well being of the public, as well as asking the public to help protect the park system. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
