Current through Register Vol. 41, No. 4, October 8, 2024

Section 19VAC10-10-40 - Participation of interested parties

A. Initial comment. After interested parties have responded to the notice, the department will analyze the level of interest. If sufficient interest exists, the department shall schedule informal meetings prior to the development of any regulation to determine the specific areas of interest and to gather factual information relative to the subject matter of that regulation. Alternatively, the department will request that persons who have responded to the notice make written submissions of comments, concerns and suggestions relative to the proposed regulation.

B. Preparation of proposed regulation. Subsequent to the initial public input on the development of any regulation, the department shall develop a proposed regulation. A copy will be furnished to all persons who responded to the notice indicating an interest in the regulation and to those persons participating in the initial comment phase. If the regulation in its entirety is too lengthy to furnish to all interested parties, it will be made available for review at the department's offices. Relevant portions of the regulation may also be furnished to interested parties. Comments will be invited at this time. If the response warrants, additional informal meetings may be held. The proposed regulation will be published in the Virginia Register of Regulations in accordance with § 2.2-4007 of the Code of Virginia.
