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:

The Meat and Poultry Act, Section 4-32-7, authorizes the department to administer an inspection program for meat and poultry.

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 supporting or opposing 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:

This rule insures that meat that is being slaughtered for the consumption of the owner of the animal is not sold to for public consumption. It requires record keeping and labeling to take place at the meat establishment facilities. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
