Subject: RE: NC DHHS Rules Review link

Thanks,

I was going to email you all regarding our issue. This is probably more for Brian.

When I'm on the 'review of rules' page, all the other agencies show rules entries except for us when you click on them. Below is an example of 'Well contactor certification rules" and 'Services for deaf and hard of hearing".

Can you provide a contact who can assist with getting the actual rules to show for 'Deaf and hard of Hearing'? It appears the links are correct but for whatever reason, our rules don't show like the other ones where you can select and add a comment. I don't know who's responsible for entering that on the rules site.

Thanks in advance,

Ms. Jones,

I neglected to loop Travis in that we spoke yesterday. Apologies if this caused any confusion.

Feel free to email one or both of us with an extension request. As I mentioned on the phone, it would be best if you get it to us this week.

Thanks,

Good morning, Ms. Jones,

I was out of the office yesterday and I have some matters to work on for the upcoming October RRC meeting. I will not have time to meet via Teams this week. If your agency needs to request an extension of time, I recommend reviewing 26 NCAC 05 .0204 for guidance. Please reply all with the extension request if that's what you choose to do.

Thanks,

Brian,

Thanks for your response. Does anyone know what date in December the report will be reviewed? Seth or Travis, are either are you available to meet via teams today to discuss the filing deadline?

Thanks much!

Hi Ms. Jones,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. However, I'm not sure what's wrong with your posting. This doesn't seem to be a link to the OAH website or anything that I would have control over. I think you need to talk to your internal staff and see why the report isn't where it's supposed to be.

If this has been posted in this way since September 5, with the public unable to view your report, it appears to me you'd need to re-start your comment period in order to give the public the full 60 days to comment.

As a reminder, your report is due to be reviewed at the December 2025 RRC meeting, and the filing deadline for that meeting is November 20. If you think you won't be able to make your deadline, you can request an extension of the time for review from RRC. You'll want to discuss this with either Travis Wiggs or Seth Ascher, the two Commission counsel who are currently handling periodic review. I've copied them here so you have their contact information.

Thanks,
Brian

Good morning, Brian

I'm following up on our rules review link public comment review on our website. I received the email below from one of our colleagues that the links don't work and comment period date is incorrect. Can you investigate this today with me. I'm not sure if it's on our end if there's something going on with the website. Our communication/website team worked to get this posted.

See the below email.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Leslie,

Hope this finds you well. Say I was checking our DSDHH website and opened the link to Review of Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Rules. I clicked on the embedded link "Initial Determination Reports" (see screen shot below) . After I click on the link it does not show the published Rules (see second screenshot). The dates on that page is wrong.
