SUMMARY: This rule creates a method in rule for reporting leases for nominal or no consideration to the Department of Management Services.

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: This rule does not directly or indirectly impose any costs on regulated entities, small business or government and, to the contrary, will provide clarity which may reduce regulatory burdens.
