Section R850-8-1000 - Appeal of Final Agency Action1. The Trust Lands Administration may by rule specifically designate certain categories of Trust Lands Administration actions that are not subject to appeal.2. Except where no appeal is available pursuant to statute or rule, an appeal may be initiated only by a party to a contract that is the subject of a final agency action, or whose legal interests are directly determined by the final agency action. A written petition must be filed within 14 days of the mailing date of the final agency action requesting an adjudicative proceeding, unless a longer date is specified in writing in the final agency action or required by statute, rule, or contract. In the event an appeal is not filed in the applicable time period, the final Trust Lands Administration action shall become unappealable. The petition for an adjudicative proceeding shall be filed according to the following requirements: (a) the petition shall be filed at the office of the director pursuant to R850-8-800.(b) the petition shall state: i) all facts upon which the petition is based;ii) any statute, rule, contract provision, or board policy which the final agency action is alleged to violate;iii) the nature of the violation of the final agency action with the statute, rule, contractual provision or board policy, and the injury that is specific to the petitioner arising from the final agency action. If the injury identified by the petition is not peculiar to the petitioner as a result of the action, the board will decline to hear the appeal; andiv) the relief requested.3. Upon receipt of a petition, the director shall initially stay any further actions with respect to the matter for which the adjudicative proceeding is being sought by the petitioner. The board, in its discretion, may lift such suspension or condition the continuation of the stay upon filing of a surety, in an amount specified by the board, sufficient to protect the interests of the beneficiaries.4. Upon receipt the director shall promptly mail the petition to the board.5. When the date of mailing is at least ten days prior to a regularly scheduled board meeting, the board may consider the petition at that meeting. In the event that the date of mailing is within ten days of a regularly scheduled board meeting, the petition will be considered at the next succeeding board meeting.6. In its initial consideration of any petition, the board may schedule the petition for hearing at a future date, make determinations concerning whether the adjudicative proceeding will be formal or informal, address procedural matters such as stays, discovery, etc., or hear the matter on the merits.7. The board may decline to conduct adjudicative proceedings in response to a petition, in which case the petitioner shall be entitled to judicial review pursuant to Section 63G-4-402.Utah Admin.
