procedure for its submission, consideration and disposition.
Upon submission of a petition, the agency as soon as practicable
either shall deny the petition in writing (stating its reasons
for the denials) or initiate rulemaking proceedings in
accordance with W.S. 16-3-103. The action of the agency in
denying a petition is final and not subject to review.
