Promulgated under authority of Sections 4-2-2 and 4-35-9 which requires the Department to adopt rules according to Utah Rulemaking Act (Title 63G, Chapter 3) to administer agricultural laws. Provides authority to the Department to establish and enforce quarantines to protect against destructive pests.

No comments were received in support of or opposing this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Gypsy moth has a high probability to be artificially transported into Utah and will survive and multiply rapidly. Introduction of this pest will cause serious damage to forests, residences, parks, and agricultural tree plantings. This pest is also capable of destroying watershed areas, orchards, and is a nuisance to the general public. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
