Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND

Chapter:

SOVEREIGNTY SUBMERGED LANDS MANAGEMENT

Overview

RULE:

18-21.003	Definitions
18-21.004	Management Policies, Standards, and Criteria
18-21.010	Applications for Private Easement
18-21.011	Payments and Fees
18-21.013	Applications to Purchase Filled Lands Adjacent to Riparian Uplands

PURPOSE:

The rule amendments clarify and implement statutes and policies adopted by the Board of Trustees for sovereignty submerged land management, including those for appraisals. The amendments implement recommendations of the Auditor General’s Office in a June 2005 operational audit of the Department. The amendments also address when requests to modify sovereignty submerged lands authorizations are so significant that such requests trigger a new application.

SUMMARY:

The rule amendments: clarify appraisal-related terms by adding or amending definitions; clarify the cost of private easements; provide less costly alternate methods of valuation of private easements for single-family residential property owners; incorporate appraisal standards and procedures; conform the rule related to applications to purchase filled lands to statute; and make minor changes to correct errors, update and clarify existing rules. The amendments add a section providing criteria for assessing when modifications to existing sovereignty submerged lands authorizations are of such magnitude that they will be considered new applications under the rule.
