Utah Admin. Code 930-2-8
When an opportunity for a public hearing is advertised, any person with a social, economic or environmental interest in the project may request in writing that a public hearing be held, provided the request is received by the UDOT Community Involvement Officer in accordance with the published instructions and before the published deadline. Requests shall describe the interest of the requesting party and what the requesting party hopes to discuss or examine at the public hearing.
When questions exist concerning a request for a public hearing, the UDOT Community Involvement Officer may contact the requesting party/parties to further determine their interest in the project. If, as a result of such contact it is determined that a public hearing is not necessary, or that the requesting party might better satisfy their needs in another way, the requesting party may withdraw their request. In the event of such a withdrawal the UDOT Community Involvement Officer may cancel the hearing or proceed with the hearing if in his/her judgment the goals of the Department would be better served or the requested hearing has already been publicized.
