60Y-7.001Complaints

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule amendment seeks to increase compliance with statutory due date requirements by reducing the amendment period.

SUMMARY: The proposed rule halves the amendment period for initial complaint filing to proceed with the investigative process.

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 proposed rule amendment is to a procedural rule and will have no economic impact and, therefore, will not require ratification. There are no applicable federal standards that relate to Rule 60Y-7.001.

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.
