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:

Under Sections 23-14-18 and 23-14-19, the Wildlife Board is authorized and required to provide rules to regulate the management of big game species. This rule provides the standards and procedures for private landowners to obtain landowner permits for taking specific big game species from the landowner's property.

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 written comments supporting or opposing Rule R657-43 were received since 03/01/2002 when the rule was last reviewed.

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

Rule R657-43 provides the requirements, procedures, and standards for private landowners to obtain landowner permits for taking buck deer within a general regional hunt boundary where the landowner's property is located, and taking bull elk, buck deer, or buck pronghorn within a limited entry unit. This rule provides the opportunity for landowners, whose property provides habitat for deer, elk, or pronghorn, to benefit by obtaining landowner permits for use within a general regional hunt area or limited entry area where the landowner's property is located. The provisions adopted in this rule are effective in providing the requirements, procedures, and standards for managing the landowner permit program. Continuation of this rule is necessary for continued success of this program.
