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:

Sections 63G-2-204 and 63A-12-104 authorize the rule. The first code reference authorizes the Department of Agriculture and Food to make rules in accordance with Title 63G, Chapter 3, specifying where and to whom requests for GRAMA access shall be directed. The second code reference authorizes the Department of Agriculture and Food to specify rules in relation to collection, storage, designation, classification, access, and management of records.

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.

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

This rule relates to statutes currently in place. The rule meets the requirements set forth in these statutes. For purposes of GRAMA, the current rule, based on the language of the statute, meets the needs of persons making GRAMA requests. It supplies procedures to be followed by the agency when a GRAMA request is made and provides methods by which records that were initially incorrect can be amended to be more accurate. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
