These rules are being presented for authorization as part of the DOI’s plan to review each rule every 5 years. Other than changes noted below, there are no specific rulemaking changes planned by the DOI at this time except for evaluation and amendment consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-01: Zero-Based Regulation. It is anticipated that rulemaking stakeholders will propose and advocate for rulemaking changes as part of the negotiated rulemaking process. The DOI intends to carefully consider all changes presented by the public and may propose certain changes so long as they are consistent with the rules’ statutory authority and the Governor’s Executive Order.
