Independent Regulatory Review Commission
General Revisions
Regulation No. 70-9

 On October 13, 2015, the Joint Committee on Documents (Committee) received this proposed rulemaking from the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC). This rulemaking amends 1 Pa. Code Chapters 301, 303, 305, 307, 309, 311, 311a and 315. The proposed rulemaking was published at 45 Pa.B. 6818 (November 28, 2015) with a 30-day public comment period that ended on December 28, 2015. The final-form rulemaking was submitted to the Committee on December 13, 2017.

 This final-form rulemaking updates and clarifies definitions, explains when documents are determined to be delivered, describes what information should be included in the preamble, clarifies when documents are to be delivered during sine die, provides clarification of existing regulatory review procedures and ensures consistency with the Regulatory Review Act (act) (71 P.S. §§ 745.1—745.14). Executive and independent agencies will know their responsibilities and options under the act. Regulated communities and commentators will also have a clearer understanding of an agencies' responsibilities and their options for providing input into the regulatory process.

 The Committee determined this final-form rulemaking is consistent with the statutory authority of IRRC under section 11(a) of the act (71 P.S. § 745.11(a)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the act, the Committee finds promulgation of this final-form rulemaking is in the public interest.

By Order of the Committee:

 This final-form rulemaking is approved.

VINCENT C. DeLIBERATO, Jr.,
