Closure of Gunnison, Cub and Hat Islands
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 33439

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Under Section 23-21a-3, the Wildlife Board and Division of Wildlife Resources are authorized to provide for the management of Gunnison, Cub, and Hat Islands for the protection and perpetuation of the American white pelican.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The division has not received any written comments regarding this rule. Any comments received in opposition to the rule are resolved using existing policies and procedures or the issue is placed on the Regional Advisory Council's and Wildlife Board's agenda for review and discussion during the process for taking public input. The public is welcome to view the Regional Advisory Council minutes, Wildlife Board minutes and administrative record for this rule at the Division of Wildlife Resources.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule places restrictions of access on, around and over these islands. This protection from disturbance will ensure the continued use of these areas and result in successful brood rearing by the birds. The other habitat needs of these colonial nesting waterbirds are being met and their populations are healthy at this time. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
