In accordance with Periodic Review, classification of rules not subject to the applicable rulemaking exemptions described in NCGS 150B-1(d) in the following chapters/subchapters are available now for public comment:
The public may provide comments for the classification of each rule, which will be sent electronically to the administrator at the agency responsible for collecting the comments for each subchapter. “Public comment” is defined by G.S. 150B-21.3A(a)(5) as a written objection to all or part of a rule. Additionally, pursuant to G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(2), in order for the Rules Review Commission to determine whether the public comment has merit, the public comment must address the specific substance of the rule and address any of the standards of Commission review, as set forth in G.S. 150B-21.9(a).To submit a written comment regarding a rule classification, click the link to the web comment form below and fill in the relevant fields.
