1 AS APPROVED - 09/12/2013 Basis and Purpose Chapter P-7 - Passes, Permits and Registrations

Basis and Purpose:

These emergency regulations open the newly-created Cheyenne Mountain Park Archery Range to public use. The range contains a static range as well as a field/3D range. An individual permit is required to use the field/3D portion of the range. Corresponding use regulations are concurrently proposed in Chapter P- 1. The range was constructed in accordance with the Cheyenne Mountain State Park 2013 Park Management Plan, and is intended to reflect the synergies of the merged agencies (State Parks and Division of Wildlife). It is intended to offer a new, high-quality outdoor opportunity that is in relatively high demand in the local region.

The Parks and Wildlife Commission FINDS that adoption of this EMERGENCY REGULATION is imperatively necessary to protect the public welfare. Adoption of this emergency regulation will allow Colorado citizens to use the Cheyenne Mountain Park archery range in time to prepare for this fall’s hunting seasons. In addition, the Parks and Wildlife Commission FINDS that adoption of this EMERGENCY REGULATION is necessary to protect the public welfare – that is to allow the public to use a facility in which it has invested in a timely manner.

Further, the Parks Wildlife Commission FINDS that compliance with the generally applicable requirements for final rule-making under the Administrative Procedure Act is contrary to the public interest. The generally applicable notice and publication requirements for final rules require that at least 20 days notice be given of any final rule-making, that such notice of final rule-making be published by the Secretary of State, and that the final rules be published for 20 days before they become effective. Compliance with these generally applicable notice and publication requirements would in fact prevent the Parks and Wildlife Commission from addressing this immediate need in a timely manner.

The Parks and Wildlife Commission has, to the extent it could, given notice of its emergency rule-making and allowed for public participation in the adoption of the emergency regulation.

Notice of the proposed emergency rule-making was posted at the state capitol, at the Division of Parks and Wildlife headquarters, Regional Service Centers, and Area Service Centers (area offices), indicating that the Parks and Wildlife Commission would consider the emergency regulation at its regularly scheduled meeting on August 8, 2013, and an opportunity to comment was provided to members of the public at that time.

The primary statutory authority for these regulations can be found in § 24-4-103, C.R.S., and the state Parks Act, §§ 33-10-101 to 33-33-113, C.R.S., and specifically including, but not limited to: §§ 33-10-106, C.R.S.

EFFECTIVE DATE - THESE EMERGENCY REGULATIONS SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON ADOPTION AND SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR NO MORE THAN 120 DAYS OR UNTIL PERMANENT REGULATIONS TAKE EFFECT, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, OR THE EMERGENCY REGULATIONS ARE OTHERWISE REPEALED, AMENDED, OR SUPERSEDED.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE PARKS AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO THIS 12th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2013.
