RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this amendment is to update the edition date of the incorporated CFR title.

Summary of the rule or change:

The change updates the edition date of 9 CFR 300, Parts 416, 417, 424, 430, 441, and 500 from the January 1, 2006, to the January 1, 2007 edition.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 4-32-7

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

9 CFR 300, Parts 416, 417, 424, 430, 441, and 500, January 1, 2007, edition

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There is no anticipated cost to the state. The changes from the January 1, 2006, to the January 1, 2007, edition, were editorial changes to clarify different rule changes. Most rule changes will affect the way a state-inspected establishment does business. This will be checked as a part of the normal duties of a meat inspector.

local governments:

There is no anticipated cost to local government. The changes from the January 1, 2006, to the January 1, 2007, edition, were editorial changes to clarify different rule changes. Most rule changes will affect the way a state-inspected establishment does business. This will be checked as a part of the normal duties of a meat inspector.

small businesses and persons other than businesses:

There is no anticipated costs associated to others. The changes from the January 1, 2006, to the January 1, 2007, edition, were editorial changes to clarify different rule changes. Most rule changes will affect the way a state-inspected establishment does business. The inspector will monitor and verify that the inspected establishment is following the updated regulations. This is a part of the normal duties of a meat inspector.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The two entities that would be effected would be Utah State Government, mainly the Utah Meat and Poultry Inspection Program, and the state-inspected meat establishment. The rule changes establish expanded regulations that a plant must operate under. The inspector would enforce the regulations within the scope of his job responsibilities. There is nothing that a plant has to purchase in order for them to operate under the new rule.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

There are no anticipated fiscal impacts on businesses. The update of the rule brings the state meat inspection program into compliance with and maintains our "equal to" status with the federal government. Leonard M. Blackham, Commissioner
