Utah SCR004 urges the Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining to negotiate a cooperative agreement with the BLM for oil, gas, and mining permits.

Utah SCR004 supports the drafting of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to formalize a cooperative and consultative relationship between the state's Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The resolution recognizes the benefits of such an agreement, including improved efficiency and reduced redundancy in permit decisions. It affirms the authority of the BLM to enter into such an MOA and emphasizes that the Secretary of the Interior retains the ultimate decision-making authority over federal leases and permits.
