Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Accurate records of each animal slaughtered by its owner which enters a meat exempt establishment must be kept on approved department cards. These records shall include, the date, owner's name, address, and telephone number, name and address of exempt establishment, and the kind of animal slaughtered. The Commissioner of Agriculture and Food or his representative shall embargo and hold uninspected carcass' found in an exempt establishment that has not been properly identified until proof of ownership has been determined.
