 We submit for your consideration the following comments on the proposed rulemaking published in the April 10, 2010 Pennsylvania Bulletin. Our comments are based on criteria in section 5.2 of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5b). Section 5.1(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5a(a)) directs the Department of Revenue (Department) to respond to all comments received from us or any other source.

Implementation Procedures.

 In a letter dated April 19, 2010, Representative Samuel Rohrer, Republican Chairman of the House Finance Committee, commented with two concerns. First, he requests further clarification from the Department regarding the seven year delay of these regulations relating to Act 87 of 2002. Second, he asks for further explanation regarding how often the Department chooses to utilize policies rather than regulations via the regulatory process. We request that the Department provide a detailed response to these concerns with the submittal of the final-form regulation.
