Title of Regulation: 4VAC10-30. Virginia State Forests Regulations.

Statutory Authority: § 10.1-1101 of the Code of Virginia.

The Department of Forestry has WITHDRAWN the regulatory action for 4VAC10-30, Virginia State Forests Regulations, which was published as a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action in 29:23 VA.R. 2732 July 15, 2013, then published again in 29:26 VA.R. 3668 August 26, 2013, to extend the public comment period. The purpose of the proposed action was to (i) ensure that the regulation represents the current uses of state forests, (ii) ensure a safe environment for the public, and (iii) provide a meaningful recreational experience for users, in concert with the normal operational business practices of the state forests. This action is being withdrawn because of the long amount of time that has elapsed since the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action was published, and the department is no longer pursuing this action.
