§ 307.3a. Formatting the text of a final regulation.
(a) When preparing and formatting the text of the final-form regulation, the agency shall use as its source document the proposed regulation as published by the LRB in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
(b) If the proposed regulation was published in the format prescribed in § 305.1a(a) (relating to formatting the text of a proposed regulation) as an amendment to an existing regulation, amendments in the final-form regulation must be illustrated as follows:
(1) Strikeout type to indicate language in the existing or proposed regulation which is being deleted.
(2) Capital letters to indicate new language which is being added to the final-form regulation which was not included in the existing or proposed regulation.
(c) If the entire proposed regulation was published in the format in § 305.1a(b) as new, and not an amendment to an existing regulation, amendments in the final-form regulation shall be illustrated as follows:
(1) Brackets to indicate language in the proposed regulation which is being deleted.
(2) Underscoring or bolding to indicate new language which is being added in the final-form regulation.
(d) If the entire final-omitted regulation is new, and not an amendment to an existing regulation, the formatting described in subsections (b) and (c) is not required.
(e) If the final-omitted regulation is an amendment to an existing regulation, amendments in the final-omitted regulation must be illustrated as follows:
(1) Brackets to indicate language in the existing regulation which is being deleted.
(2) Underscoring or bolding to indicate new language which is being added in the final-omitted regulation.
(f) If there are extenuating circumstances that may prevent an agency from using the requirements of this section, the agency shall contact the Commission to discuss alternative formatting methods.
