    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:

    Section 40-8-6 provides authority to the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining to enact rules that are reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of the Utah Mined Land Reclamation Act. Section 40-8-9 specifically provides authority for inspections and the issuance of cessation orders or notices of violations for noncompliance.

    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 establishes the authority for conducting inspections of mineral mined land activities and establishes the procedures for enforcement including cessations orders, notice of violations, and compliance conferences. This rule should be continued to ensure adequate inspection and enforcement provisions are in place to enable a fair and consistent process for issuance and resolution of such matters in the minerals industry.
