    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 63-11-17(1)(a) allows the board to make rules when it is to protect state parks and their natural and cultural resources, or to provide for public safety and preserve the peace within state parks. This rule makes it clear where ball games, horseshoes, or other similar activities are prohibited in order to protect the public from being hurt by the sports equipment. The rule states that organized sports are prohibited except in designated locations and these would be listed at each park.

    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:

    In order to address safety of the public and the need to support and define some of the statutes, the board has made rules to help the Division and the employees who work for the parks system better understand and be able to turn to these rules to help them in fulfilling their jobs. This rule is important to have by the public and by employees and staff of Utah State Parks and recreation. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
