N.D. Cent. Code § 38-14.1-42: Cooperation with federal and state agencies

The commission shall have the authority to cooperate with and receive technical and financial assistance from the United States, any state, or any department, agency, or officer thereof, and to file such reports and promulgate regulations as required by federal law for any purposes relating to reclamation. In the administration, inspection, and enforcement of North Dakota's reclamation program, the commission is also authorized and encouraged to cooperate with other federal and state agencies in order to eliminate duplication of effort and unnecessary review, establish a common database for similar reviews and timely decisions, and to promulgate rules and regulations relevant to such authorization.
