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:

This rule was promulgated under authority of Subsection 4-2-2(1)(j) and Section 4-23-7 which requires the Department of Agriculture and Food to enact rules for the collection and non-collection exemption of annual fees assessed under the Wildlife Damage Prevention Act.

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

The Department of Agriculture and Food has received no comments supporting 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:

The Department of Agriculture is still required to collect fees under the Wildlife Damage Prevention Act. These fees help fund the predator control efforts of the agency and the rule is supported by the livestock industry. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
