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:

Under Sections 23-14-18, 23-14-19, and 23-17-9, the Wildlife Board is authorized and required to regulate and prescribe the means for the use of protected or privately-owned wildlife for the training of dogs.

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 Division of Wildlife Resources and the Wildlife Board have not received written comments, either in support or opposition to Rule R657-46. The Division of Wildlife Resources and the Wildlife Board have received minimal verbal comments during the public meetings in support of Rule R657-46. Verbal comment received during the last five-year review was not specific, but generally supported Rule R657-46. Both written and verbal comments received opposing the rule are resolved using existing policies and procedures or the issue is placed on the Regional Advisory Council's and Wildlife Board's agenda for review and discussion during the review process for taking public input. The public is welcome to view the Regional Advisory Council minutes, Wildlife Board minutes, and administrative record for this rule at the Division of Wildlife Resources.

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

Rule R657-46 provides the requirements, standards, and application procedures for the use of game birds in dog field trials and training. The procedures adopted in this rule have provided an effective and efficient process. Continuation of this rule is necessary for continued success for the use of game birds in dog field trials and training, and therefore this rule should be continued.
