    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:

    Sections 40-10-6 and 40-10-6.5 provide for rulemaking authority to the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining as necessary for the regulation of coal mining operations and reclamation operations. Sections 40-10-9 and 40-10-10 specifically establish provisions for permitting of coal mining operations within the state.

    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 necessary since it states the required information to be included in each permit application by a coal mine operator including information on soils, biology, engineering, geology, hydrology, and bonding. This rule should be continued so Utah's Coal Program continues to retain primacy under the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.
