Bah, Salt Lake allows that all the time. To the north of us the radar
coverage is poor below about 9000. The ground here is at 3650 and gets
lower the farther north you go. ZLC regularly terminates aircraft after
we send them and asks them to make occasional reports.



You've written this before.

I did not speak to the point as to whether certain controllers do this or
not. Only as to whether or not it is in accord with the regulations.

Where is the exception to the radar monitoring requirement for random
routes outside of the NAVAID Use limitation (and below FL 450 for RNAV a/c)
that is being applied by ZLC for this procedure?
