October 6. 1999 13 BLM publishes new mineral leasing regulation As part of the Adminstration's ongoing effort to "reinvent government," govern-ment," the Bureau of Land Management last week published a new rule that will simplify the BLM's solid mineral regulations and make them easier to understand. under-stand. The rule, which takes effect on Oct. 31, reduces the agency's existing exist-ing solid mineral leasing regulations regula-tions by one-third while making several substantive revisions. Among other things, the rule increases in-creases the per-state acreage limit for potassium leases on BLM-man-aged lands from 51,200 acres to 96,000 acres. This will enhance the Utah economy Zions Bank last week released the Autumn 1999 jssue of Insight -Economic news of Utah and the Nation. The quarterly publication, introduced in April of last year, features fea-tures updates on current and projected pro-jected economic and financial developments for the state of Utah, the Intermountain region, and the nation. "Utah's economic growth has moderated during the past 18 months, but remains solid," said Jeff Thredgold, economic consultant consul-tant to Zions Bank and author of Insight. "More signs of renewed global economic vitality suggest rising demand for Utah products incoming years. Given our expectation expecta-tion of continued solid U.S. economic eco-nomic performance, the Utah economy econ-omy should continue to perform well in coming years." Following are a few highlights from the "Utah Economic Outlook" section of the Autumn 1999 issued of Insight: SDMPLY THE VTORLP'S BEST SAYELLLDTE TV SYSTEM I!

"This rule advances the Administration's effort to reinvent government so that it works more effectively and efficiently for America's taxpayers," said BLM Deputy Director Tom Fry. "These new regulations, which are written in plain language, will enable our agency to provide better customer service." ' Besides raising the acreage limit on potassium leases, the new rule revises the existing regulations in other ways. Specifically, the rule: growing at subdued pace The Utah economy has grown at a more subdued pace during 1998 and 1999, a departure from the powerful growth rate recorded during dur-ing the majority of the 1990s. Less robust economic performance is now evidenced by the slowest pace Utah job creation in 12 years. Ongoing developments around the globe - and especially in Asia -suggest improving global economic vitality during the next few years. A stronger global economy is a key ingredient in supporting both the prices of and demand for Utah exports. The Utah economy is expected to add 27.000 net new jobs during calendar year 1999, a 2.6 percent rise. This increase compares to average job gains of 42.500 jobs annually during the 1993-1998 period. Utah's unemployment rate averaged aver-aged a low 3.3 percent during 1999's first eight months, as compared com-pared to 3.6 percent during the 1 mmm wat NCMca m.mma m mm uwaa im hot mmm T fa 0mJT disS A t ,.i!ri".'."ii.".Ty NOT p I I II Bmm '56.98month 660 West Main Vernal, Utah The Dirk Labrum Co. - Your Local Radio Shack Dealer Ni' It mmm m m.m Maw .Maam Eliminates the requirement that an applicant for a lease or title transfer re-describe lands in an application, ap-plication, and instead allows the applicant ap-plicant to refer to the previous use authorization that the BLM approved; ap-proved; Allows heirs of a lease or permit holder specifically, those heirs who are not qualified to own a lease or permit to hold such a lease or permit for two years, during dur-ing which time they can either become be-come qualified lease holders or divest di-vest their interest; Clarifies that when lessees or holders of a preference right ex- 1993-1998 period. Tight labor markets mar-kets remain of major concern to Utah employers. The state's overall exports are likely to rise during the next two years in response to stronger global economic performance. Each of Utah's primary trading partners is expected to record stable or improving economic growth during the next two years. Utah's economic development efforts will play a more critical role in coming years as the current Utah construction boom winds down. The game of economic development develop-ment is intensely competitive around the nation. The Progressive Policy Institute, a Washington. D.C., think tank, recently ranked Utah sixth in its measure of states apt to prosper in the "new economy." Utah ranked third in work force education and fourth in the percent of people online (46 percent.).

The current cur-rent definition uses the phrase "valuable mine" to describe a valuable valu-able deposit. The new rule changes "valuable mine" to "profitable mine," but this term will not affect how the BLM evaluates valuable deposits. The new definition merely gives a more descriptive account of how the Bureau already evaluates a deposit.
