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 implements Sections 65A-7-1 and 65A-7-7 which authorize the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands to establish criteria by rule for the sale, exchange, lease, or other disposition or conveyance of sovereign lands including procedures for determining fair-market value of those lands.

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

There have been no written comments received either in support or opposing the rule.

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

The rule provides a process for the exchange of state lands for other lands when in the best interest of the state, or the public trust. This tool is used for the beneficial management of lands held by the division. The ability to consolidate isolated tracts of land, or inholdings within federal lands gives the state flexibility in their management and provides opportunities for win-win situations for the state and other parties. This rule has been used within the past five years, and it is anticipated that it will continue to be used. This rule should be continued.
