SUMMARY: This rule was identified during the comprehensive rule review as containing provisions that are no longer applicable, are antiquated, or are duplicative, and, thus, are appropriate for repeal.
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has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification because the rule is being repealed to reduce unnecessary regulation.
