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:

The informal Adjudicative Proceedings act is authorized by the Legislature of the State of Utah as set forth in the Oil and Gas Conservation Act, Section 40-6-10 and in the Administrative Procedures Act, Title 63, Chapter 46b.

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

An e-mail comment was received stating that the interested party agreed with renewing the rule. The comment was received from one of the members of the Informal Rules Review Group, which is list of interested parties maintained by the Division.

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

This rule exists as a vehicle for rulings of the Division to be appealed to the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining should disagreements about Division rulings arise between the public and the Division. It is also the method that the Division uses to begin the process of Informal Adjudicative Proceedings and thereby enforce its own established rules and therefore, the rule should be continued.
