Show procedures. The first is over- the- counter transactions which are largely administerial in nature. Grazing, rights- of- entry and burning permits are examples. Other actions like easements, special use leases and exchanges trigger a site- specific planning process and the preparation of a record of decision. In site- specific planning, the division provides notice that the process is under way to affected parties, usually adjoining landowners and lessees and permittees of record for the affected land, and to GOPB for inclusion in the Resource Development Coordinating Committee ( RDCC) agenda packet and the weekly status report. In some cases notice in newspapers of general circulation in the local county is required. The division relies upon the RDCC process as the primary method through which the public is apprised of proposed actions and given the opportunity to provide comments to the division. The division is required to respond to all commenting parties and give the rationale for acceptance or nonacceptance of the comments. Records of decision are subject to a 20- day review period. Within 20 days of any division action any party aggrieved by the action may petition the executive director of DNR to review the action for consistency with statutes, rules and policy. The decision whether to issue any particular land use authorization includes consideration of the sovereign land classification for the affected land. If a proposed use is not consistent with the land classification, DFFSL would have to go through the plan amendment process specified in rule. This process requires public notification. |
