DAR File No.: 36225
Filed: 05/16/2012 08:58:07 AM

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 established as required by Sections 63-11a-501, and 63-11-17.8, and apply to the following state funded recreation fiscal assistance programs; Trails and Pathways, Off Highway Vehicles, Off-highway Access and Education and in addition these rules govern procedures for fiscal assistance applications, priorities, and project selection criteria commencing on or after 04/15/2000.

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

During the last five years, the agency has not received any written comments in either favor or against this rule. This rule focuses upon state fiscal assistance grants that involve either/or Off-highway Vehicles, Off-highway vehicle education and access, and the Trails and Pathway grants.

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

There were no written comments either in favor or against this rule. Rule R615-301 should be continued because it defines an application process, defines the fiscal assistance program requirements, outlines a project selection process, and sets priorities for a project selection criteria. Without this direction or process listed as a rule, there would be no consistency upon awarding fiscal assistance, in the form of grants, to communities, other government agencies and/or non-profit organizations, that participate in various forms of recreation across the state.
