RULES AND REGULATIONS

Title 25--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

[25 PA. CODE CH. 245]

Corrective Amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 245.1

[28 Pa.B. 1135]

   The Department of Environmental Protection has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code § 245.1 (relating to definitions), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau, and the official text published at 27 Pa.B. 5341, 5360 (October 11, 1997) and published in the December 1997 Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 277), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. In the amendment to § 245.1, the definitions of ''certified company,'' ''certified inspector'' and ''certified installer'' were inadvertently omitted.

   Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department of Environmental Protection has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 245.1. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 245.1 is effective as of October 11, 1997, the date the defective official text was printed in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The correct version of 25 Pa. Code § 245.1 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.
