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 is promulgated under authority of Section 4-31-109 which gives the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food the ability to eradicate trichomoniasis in livestock.
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 Utah Cattlemen's Association would like to see an increase in the fine for non-compliance. While the amount of the fine is not dictated by rule, an increase in the proposed fine has been submitted to the legislature.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The disease is still costing producers in the state upwards of $3,000,000 and the potential loss if this is not controlled could be upwards of $100,000,000. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
