    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:

    Subsection 4-2-2(1)(k)(ii) grants the Department of Agriculture the authority to establish and enforce quarantines in order to protect the agricultural industry of the State of Utah. The statute allows the Department to establish quarantine for specific pests, designate the infested area, the products regulated, and specifying conditions governing shipments and issuance of certificates under which products may be shipped.

    Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

    No comments have been received by the Department since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule.

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

    The quarantine for Karnal Bunt continues to protect consumers and ensures that Karnal Bunt is kept out of the State of Utah. Karnal Bunt is a fungal disease that affects wheat. While it is not found in Utah, it is known to be in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. This quarantine is necessary to prevent it from spreading to the Utah crops. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
