PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To repeal this rule as it is redundant.

SUMMARY: The rule lists other English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) related rules and has no informative value.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The existing rule simply summarizes the requirements for provision of educational services to ELLs and lists other ESOL – related rules. The repeal of this rule will have no associated cost or economic impact.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
