Administrative Rule Review Report  #AR10-056

Legislative Service Office

09-Aug-10

AGENCY: Office of State Lands and Investments.

DATE SUBMITTED: August 6, 2010.

SUBJECT: Chapter 3, Federal Mineral Royalty Capital Construction Accounts Grants.

NATURE OF RULES:                     Legislative

STATUTORY AUTHORITY:         W.S. 9-4-604.

DETERMINATION OF PROCEDURAL COMPLIANCE BASED UPON INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY THE AGENCY TO LSO:  Apparently complete to date.  The Agency did receive one set of comments during the comment period.  The comments were positive and supported the proposed rules.

SUMMARY OF RULES:  The revised rules simply delete one paragraph that previously made "costs for standalone road and street maintenance projects such as street chip and seal projects, crack sealing, and slurry sealing" ineligible project costs.  With the deletion, these costs are now eligible project costs.

FINDINGS:  The rules appear to be within the scope of statutory authority and legislative intent.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:   That the rules be placed on the Consent List and be approved by the Council as submitted by the Agency.
