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:
This rule was promulgated under authority of Title 4, Chapter 32, Utah Meat and Poultry Products Inspection Licensing Act. This rule gives the animal owner a choice to have their animals slaughtered and/or processed by the license farm custom permittee or in the official inspected facility.
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 Department has received no comments supporting or opposing this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The Department of Agriculture licenses and inspects custom exempt establishments and farm custom slaughter tripod rig and/or establishments. This allows the animal owner flexibility to have their animals slaughtered and/or processed at the time and location convenient for them, it also helps ensure that the animal owner will receive his product back that has been slaughter and/or processed under sanitary conditions. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
