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:

These rules are issued pursuant to Section 73-1-10 which provides that the state engineer shall adopt rules that specify: when a water right owner is authorized to prepare a Report of Conveyance to the state engineer; the kinds of information required in such reports; and the procedures for processing such reports.

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 in the last five years.

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

Section 73-1-10 requires the State Engineer to adopt rules for preparing Reports of Water Right Conveyance and updating water right title with the Division of Water Rights. The rule specifies the information required in a Report of Conveyance and the procedure for processing the reports. The rule provides specific information to water right owners on how to update title, so necessary information provided to the State Engineer is submitted correctly and accurately. Title can then be updated to the new owner. Upon new owner title update, the administrative actions concerning the water rights involved can then be sent to the current owner. No opposing comments received.
