Preliminary Provisions; Definitions

October 7, 2010

 We submit for your consideration the following comments on the proposed rulemaking published in the August 7, 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 Joint Committee on Documents (Committee) to respond to all comments received from us or any other source.

Section 1.4.—Definitions.—Implementation procedures.

 This proposed regulation adds a definition for ''copy'' to the preliminary provisions of the Pa Code (Code). It defines ''copy'' as ''an electronic or printed version.'' Under 1 Pa. Code §§ 15.1 through 15.6, numerous government entities are to be provided with one copy of documents, in particular the Code and Pa Bulletin (Bulletin), with the subscription paid by the Commonwealth. According to the Preamble, the distribution of the Code and Bulletin is paid for by the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB). The Preamble also states that as a result of the proposed definition, ''most entities listed in Chapter 15 will no longer receive paper copies of the Code and Bulletin paid for by the LRB.''

 In light of 1 Pa. Code Chapter 15, the Committee should explain in the Preamble to the final-form regula-tion how it intends to comply with the existing distribution requirements.
