DAR File No.: 42944

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 52-4-207 requires any public body that convenes or conducts an electronic meeting to establish written procedures for such meetings. Section 4-18-105 creates the Utah Conservation Commission which has meetings, and as it has representatives from various parts of the state holds regular electronic meetings for the approval of Agriculture Rural Development Loans and the transaction of other business.

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 (Department) has not received any comments on this rule since the last five-year review.

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

This rule is necessary to facilitate the quick and efficient approval of loans through the Agriculture Rural Development Loans. Electronic meetings are used up to twice a month and gathering the Board together every two weeks would be costly. Therefore, this rule should be continued.

The full text of this rule may be inspected, during regular business hours, at the Office of Administrative Rules, or at:
