Regular rulemaking procedures would place the agency in violation of federal or state law.

Justification:Eligible Utah Navajo students are requesting funding as soon as possible, and UNTF is seeking to award these students with college financial assistance and scholarships, but the current requirements call for Utah Navajo Chapters to set up Residency Committees to approve residency and to identify progenitors under the new rule that is in effect as of 09/01/2016, but the Chapters have not set up committees.UNTF is proposing to revise the new rule so that it eliminates the use of outside committees and places the primary responsibility of verifying residency on UNTF, a state agency, so that each applicant's request can be reviewed and approved on an individual basis in much the same way as before under previous UNTF and UNRHF administration.
