Loretta,

Given that the agencies plan is to let these rules expire pursuant to G.S. 150B-21.3A(b), and then adopt the rules as new, the formal review of reports process will not be necessary. Only rules that were in the Code as of January 1, 2024, are required to go through the review process during the 2024-2034 process.

Alex,

In accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(1), and as part of the Council of State's ongoing efforts to comply with the Periodic Review of Rules process, we are submitting the agency's initial determinations regarding the necessity of the subject rules.

We acknowledge that these rules are scheduled to expire on November 1, 2025, and that this expiration date precedes the conclusion of the public comment period. While we recognize the delay in initiating this process, we are making every effort to adhere to the requirements of the rules review process to the fullest extent possible under the circumstances. This submission reflects the direction of the Council of State, which has chosen to move forward with soliciting feedback on the necessity of these rules.

In anticipation of the rules' expiration, the agency is also preparing to initiate rulemaking to ensure their timely return to the Administrative Code.

We appreciate your consideration as we work through this process. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the attached documents.

Good afternoon,

I am the RRC attorney who has been assigned to present the Council of State's periodic review report at the October 30, 2025, RRC meeting. I've reviewed the prior communications with Alex and Travis on this matter. (Available here: https://www.oah.nc.gov/06-ncac-01-02-04-agency-communication/open).

As far as I can tell, you were planning to address this at the 9/30 Council of State meeting. Where do things currently stand and what would you like to happen?

Sincerely,

Seth Ascher

Subject: RE: 06 NCAC 01, 02, 04 - Your report(s) for the Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules schedule

Good afternoon,

Alex forwarded me your email of Tuesday, September 16, 2025. You’ve asked for Julie Ventaloro to be added to the rulemaking coordinators’ distribution list and to copy her on communications with OSBM on OSBM or Council of State rules. Ms. Ventaloro is already on the rulemaking coordinators’ distribution listserv, although she has not been designated as the rulemaking coordinator for either Council of State or OSBM. Thus, she should already have received any communications directed to the rulemaking coordinators’ distribution listserv. In that light, are you requesting that Ms. Ventaloro be added as a rulemaking coordinator for both OSBM and Council of State? If so, I will need that designation in writing from the Governor. The designation must contain the rulemaking coordinator’s name and contact information (mailing address, email address, and phone number).

As to your request for our staff to copy Ms. Ventaloro on any communications related to OSBM or Council of State rules, we must kindly demur. Our staff is not responsible for ensuring that our communications reach anyone beyond the agency’s designated rulemaking coordinator. See G.S. 150B-21(a) (the rulemaking coordinator is the agency’s liaison between other agencies in the rulemaking process). Given the volume of communications we handle every day, I cannot ask my staff to remember to copy someone not on the rulemaking coordinator list for a particular agency or agencies.

Thank you,
Brian

Alex,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We acknowledge that we missed the deadline for filing the initial designation reports for 06 NCAC 01, 02, and 04 and that the rules will expire unless a waiver for an extension is granted. The Council of State will review the rules and consider possible actions at their next scheduled meeting, on September 30, 2025.

We apologize for the oversight and are implementing measures to ensure we do not miss deadlines in the future. To that end, I would also like to ask you to add Julie Ventaloro to the rulemaking coordinators’ distribution list and in your communications with OSBM on OSBM or Council of State rules.

Again, thank you for the notification and for your assistance. Please let me know if there is anything further you need from us at this time.

Good afternoon,

Your understanding is incorrect. The RRC will meet on September 25 and October 30. Alex has made it abundantly clear in the series of emails you have been sent that the filing deadline is September 20, 2025.

If not already completed, the following steps must be taken before filing your periodic review report(s):

  1. The rulemaking body, the Board, Commission, or agency head, must make initial determinations
  2. G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(1) requires the agency to file the report on its and OAH websites for 60 days and accept public comments.
  3. At the close of the 60-day comment period, the Board, Commission, or agency head must review all comments received, prepare a response for each public comment to put in the report, and make a final determination for each rule.
  4. File the Excel report with initial designations and the accompanying form to [email protected]

Importance: High

Good morning Loretta,

According to my records, the initial designation reports for 06 NCAC 01, 02, and 04 have not been filed. Additionally, the final report deadline for the September RRC review is August 20th. As the initial reports remain outstanding and have not been posted to your agency’s website, the required review has not been completed.

If your agency intends to retain these rules, a waiver for an extension must be requested from the Rules Review Commission at the September meeting. If the intention is to allow these rules to expire and be removed from the Administrative Code, please let me know.

I’ve copied staff counsel on this message, should you have any questions about the waiver process.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email and confirm your agency’s intentions regarding these reports.

Best regards,
Alex

Subject: 06 NCAC 01, 02, 04 - Your report(s) for the Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules schedule

Good morning Loretta,

Important

This is a reminder that your Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules reports are scheduled for review by the Rules Review Commission at its October 2025 meeting. The filing deadline for your final report is September 20, 2025.

Please remember that the following steps must be taken before September 20, 2025:

  1. The rulemaking body, the Board, Commission, or agency head, must make initial determinations
  2. G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(1) requires the agency to file the report on its and OAH websites for 60 days and accept public comments.
  3. At the close of the 60-day comment period, the Board, Commission, or agency head must review all comments received, prepare a response for each public comment to put in the report, and make a final determination for each rule.
  4. File the Excel report with initial designations and the accompanying form to [email protected]

If your agency does not complete the process and submits a final report by September 20, 2025, all rules in the report will automatically expire at the meeting the following month. The agency’s rules will be removed from the North Carolina Administrative Code. Further, G.S. 150B-21.3A requires the Rules Review Commission to report all rules that expired to the General Assembly’s Joint Legislative Administrative Procedure Oversight Committee.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact OAH Rules Division staff immediately.

Thank you,
alex

Subject: 06 NCAC 01, 02, 04 - Your report(s) for the Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules schedule
Importance: High

Good afternoon, Loretta,

Please acknowledge receipt of this email!

Attached is your agency’s reports for 06 NCAC 01, 02, and 04 for the periodic review of existing rules. These reports are scheduled for review by the RRC at the October 2025 meeting. The filing deadline is September 22, 2025.

Please email [email protected] within 10 business days of any errors in the report(s) after reviewing the following:

  1. Verify that we have the correct Rulemaking Agency listed on row 2 of the report(s)
  2. Ensure that no rules are missing from the report and that the date and last agency action are correct.

Please remember that the following steps must be taken to file the report with the initial determinations:

  1. The rulemaking body, the Board, Commission, or agency head, must make initial determinations
  2. G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(1) requires the agency to file the report on its website and the OAH website for 60 days and accept public comments during that time.
  3. File the Excel report with initial determinations and the accompanying form to [email protected]

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you, Kristin. We will send the reports to Loretta. Please be aware that by the time the reports are due back to us for filing in September 2025, we will need a letter from the Governor or minutes from the Council of State officially designating Loretta as the Coordinator.

Thanks again,

Subject: RE: Rulemaking Coordinator - Council of State

Hi Ashley,

By statute, the State Budget Director is Secretary to the Council of State so I think it makes sense for OSBM’s rulemaking coordinator, Loretta Peace-Bunch, to be the rulemaking coordinator for COS. When John Maddrey was working at DOA, he had a dedicated share of time for OSBM which must be how he became the COS coordinator.

Kind regards,
Kristin

Subject: Rulemaking Coordinator - Council of State

Good morning, Scarlett and Loretta,

I’m reaching out to both of you as the Rulemaking Coordinators for the Governor’s office and OSBM, which I understand houses staff to the Governor. The Rules Division needs a current Rulemaking Coordinator for the Council of State so we can send the reports for the Periodic Review process as required by G.S. 150B-21.3A. To name a coordinator, the head of the agency needs to designate one in writing or the Council can name one in its meeting minutes. Please send a copy of the designation directly to me.

The Council of State’s named Rulemaking Coordinator is still John Maddrey. John retired some time ago. Since that time, we have not received an updated designation from the Council of State.

If there is someone else I need to reach out to or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Ashley Snyder
