The department will adhere to the following procedures to avoid collecting multiple fees on cattle by brand inspection.

A.

(1) Cattle that have been fee brand inspected and have a certificate indicating collection of predator control will not require further fee collection after consignment to feedlots within the state.

(2) When cattle are produced in state, and ownership is retained by that producer at a feedlot, a predator-control fee will normally be assessed when such cattle are marketed in this state.

(3) If conditions in R58-15-3-A(2) apply, but the cattle are shipped interstate, predator control fees shall be paid on the fee brand inspection prior to shipment interstate.

(4) Cattle which originate in another state and are brought in-state for grazing will be charged a predator fee on the brand inspection certificate when exiting the state.

B. Dairy cattle are subject to the predator control fee when those animals are consigned to a slaughter facility or auction barn. Special designated dairy replacement sales or dairy replacement auctions are exempt.

C. Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Agriculture and Food and wool marketing agencies or dealers, titled "Wool Fee Collection" is available at the Predator Fee Collection, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, P.O. Box 146500, 350 N. Redwood Road, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6500, the collection of wool fees is hereby established. On forms provided by the department, the marketing agency will record the following information:

name of company

year and quarter

the name and address of the producer

pounds of wool

number of sheep

amount deducted

Records and fee payments will be furnished to the department no later than April 30, July 30, October 30, and January 30 of each year. These dates correspond to a 30-day period following a quarterly collection of fees. (January to March; April to June; July to September; and October to December.)

D. Movement of sheep from out of state producers into Utah will be subject to fees imposed for predator control. These fees will be collected commensurate with forms delivered to such producers prior to January 1 of each calendar year, which are returned to the department no later than April 1 of each year.

E. Movement of livestock from in-state producers to other states to graze, and in cases where cattle are marketed out of state, or sheep that are shorn of wool that is marketed in other states, and which products are not subject to the collection methods described in Title 4, Chapter 23, the producers will be required to submit to the department on forms provided by the department such fees as are applicable, prior to April 1 of each calendar year.
