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:

Section 4-3-2 authorizes the department to make rules regulating the sale of raw milk. The statute requires the department to make rules regarding the sale of raw whole milk at a self-owned retail store.

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.

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

The rule sets out the permitting, building, labeling, and sanitation requirements for a person engaged in the sale of raw milk. This rule provides for testing of the product and inspection by a state regulatory agency (Utah Department of Agriculture and Food) to make sure that the milk sold is safe for human consumption. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
