The Department of Environmental Quality proposed to repeal and reenact Utah Admin. Code R307-103, Administrative Procedures. Changes would refer to R306-5 for all administrative procedures. Changes include encouraging informal discovery and limiting discovery to appropriate subjects, requiring comments to be provided to the executive secretary to preserve a commenter's right to challenge a decision of the executive secretary, and specifying situations in which declaratory actions should not be considered. The deadline for public comment is May 31, 2011, and the rule may become effective August 14. http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/bull_pdf/2011/b20110501.pdf pp. 9-13.
