RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

68-1.009Delegations of Authority to the Executive Director

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose this rule revision is to amend language changing the date that the delegation of authority was adopted by the Commission. The effect is to have the rule reference the correct version of the delegation of authority.

SUMMARY: The Commission modified its delegation of authority to the Executive Director to authorize him to dis-establish areas no longer needed and to re-establish areas with minor modifications to boundaries, dates, and other technical aspects of the areas. This rule references the delegation of authority and needs to refer to the most recent version as adopted by the Commission.

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 nature of the rule and the preliminary analysis conducted to determine whether a SERC was required.

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.
