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 63-11-17 states that the board may make rules that govern the use of the state park system and protect the state parks and their natural and cultural resources from misuse or damage, including watersheds, plants, wildlife, and park amenities, and provide for public safety and preserve the peace within state parks. This rule addresses explosives and fireworks and prohibits them because of related safety issues, unless there is a permit that carries proper insurance and proves that those using explosives and fireworks have experience, and all proper permits to use these items in a safe and proper manner.

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:

This rule defines the only way explosives and fireworks can be used within the state park system and the rule and code support one another. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
