REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL CHANGE

AGENCY: Department of Environment and Natural Resources

RULE CITATION: 15A NCAC 28 .0302

DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT: Friday, November 7, 2014

NOTE WELL: This request when viewed on computer extends several pages. Please be sure you have reached the end of the document.

The Rules Review Commission staff has completed its review of this rule prior to the Commission's next meeting. The Commission has not yet reviewed this rule and therefore there has not been a determination as to whether the rule will be approved. You may call this office to inquire concerning the staff recommendation.

In reviewing these rules, the staff determined that the following technical changes need to be made:

On Page 1, lines 4 and 28, this is not the proper way to change “govern” to “governs.” Please refer to the text you published in the NC Register to properly show the change.

To whom does the term “military” refer? Active duty, reserve, retired, military spouses? Does your regulated public know what this means?

In (b), line 26, consider saying “Free admission shall be offered to everyone on the following holidays: Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday and Veteran’s Day.” (This is the name given to the holiday by the North Carolina State Human Resources Commission in Rule 25 NCAC 01E .0901.)

The History Note is missing a line between the “Transferred and Recodified” and “Temporary Eff.” In addition, it should read, “Temporary Amendment Eff.” on line 21. In the Code, the History Note reads:

History Note: Authority G.S. 143B-289.41(b); 143B-289.44;
Eff. March 1, 2004;
Amended Eff. January 1, 2006;
Transferred and Recodified from 15A NCAC 01R .0101 Eff. August 1, 2007;
Amended Eff. September 1, 2011; January 1, 2011; April 1, 2010;
Temporary Amendment Eff. February 28, 2014.

Make sure when adding the new “Amended Eff. Date,” you put a semicolon after “2014” on the line above it.

Please retype the rule accordingly and resubmit it to our office at 1711 New Hope Church Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609.
