33.51	STATEMENT OF BASIS SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE DECEMBER 9, 2013 RULEMAKING REGARDING TEMPORARY MODIFICATIONS; FINAL ACTION MARCH 11, 2014 EFFECTIVE DATE JUNE 30, 2014
The provisions of C.R S. 25-8-202(1)(a), (b) and (2); 25-8-203; 25-8-204; and 25-8-402; provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of these regulatory amendments.  The Commission also adopted in compliance with 24-4-103(4) C.R.S. the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
Pursuant to the requirements in the Basic Standards (at 31.7(3)), the Commission reviewed the status of temporary modifications scheduled to expire before December 31, 2015, to determine whether the temporary modification should be modified, eliminated or extended.  Temporary modifications of 3 standards on 3 segments were reviewed.  
Eagle River, segments 8 and 9a:  The Commission deleted the temporary modifications of the temperature standards.  These temporary modifications expired on 12/31/2013.  
No Action:  The temporary modification to the iron standard on Grassy Creek, Yampa River segment 13e, was reviewed. Seneca Coal Company presented evidence that progress is being made on the plan to resolve uncertainty.  Seneca Coal Company is on schedule to address this segment at the regularly scheduled Basin hearing (June 2014).
