This rule proposes to create a compensatory mitigation program that will help various entities to offset the impacts of development on greater sage-grouse and their habitats. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) communicated with stakeholders prior to submission of this proposed rule, which is described as follows. There are seven divisions within DNR including the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation, the Utah Division of Water Rights, the Utah Division of Water Resources, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, and the Utah Geological Survey. Each division has its own process for soliciting and receiving input from stakeholders when proposing changes to administrative rules. DNR itself makes changes to administrative rules very infrequently so DNR does not have a required process for gathering such input. In light of this, the DNR took a proactive and collaborative approach to interacting with various stakeholders and gathering public input during the development of this proposed rule. As a result of those efforts, DNR personnel coordinated numerous meetings with key stakeholders who would be, or could be affected by this proposed rule. By doing so, DNR personnel, along with one designee from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and one assigned designee by the Governor's Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office, gathered feedback from stakeholders both before and during the drafting of this proposed rule. This process ensured effective, collaborative, and proactive involvement from various stakeholders prior to the formal administrative rulemaking and public review process. The following is a summary of the organizations and individuals that DNR and its assigned designees met with prior to the submission of this proposed rule: 1) United States Forest Service; 2) United States Bureau of Land Management; 3) United States Natural Resource Conservation Service; 4) Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands; 5) Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining; 6) Utah Department of Transportation; 7) Western Energy Alliance and various members; 8) Utah Petroleum Association and various members; 9) Utah Mining Association and various members; 10) K-COE Isom; 11) QEP Resources; 12) Utah Chukar Foundation; 13) Utah Sage-grouse Plan Implementation Council; 14) Rocky Mountain Power; 15) Nature Coservancy; 16) Utah Farm Bureau; 17) Utah Cattlemen�s Association; 18) Uintah Basin Adaptive Resource Management, Local Working Group; and 19) Strawberry Valley Adaptive Resource Management, Local Working Group. Each meeting with the above referenced organizations and individuals was structured around three central topics, including: 1) what items/issues are requested to be included in the proposed rule; 2) what items/issues are requested to be avoided in the proposed rule; and 3) items that need additional clarity or follow-up. This approach framed each discussion fairly and consistently across stakeholder groups and allowed for an effective process for drafting a proposed rule that proactively addressed as many issues as possible. Every good-faith effort has been made to include a summary of every meeting related to this proposed rule. But in light of practical and reasonable limitations, as well as the complexity and scope of this issue, it should be noted that this listing is not exhaustive.
