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 comments that the quarantine continues to be necessary for the protection of mint production.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Mint wilt continues to have an effect on the mint producers and negatively affects the crop, as such the quarantine continues to be necessary for the protection of the crop. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
