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:

Section 9-8-203 directs the Division to stimulate research, study, and activity in the field of Utah history and related history and to mark and preserve historic sites, areas, and remains. Section 9-8-304 directs the Antiquities Section to collect and administer site survey and excavation records and edit and publish antiquities records. Section 9-8-305 directs that a permit obtained before 07/01/2006 shall continue with the Antiquities Section until the permit terminates on its own terms. Section 9-8-307 requires any person who discovers any archaeological resources on lands owned or controlled by the state or its subdivisions, as well as privately-owned lands, to promptly report the discovery to the Division.

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.

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

Without the continuation of this rule, there would be no procedures established to ensure that survey, excavation, and related work are consistently and reliably executed by qualified personnel and that educational, scientific, archaeological, anthropological, and historical information is recovered and preserved; therefore, this rule should be continued.
