This agenda will also be posted on the DEP World Wide Web site. The schedule will contain the Pennsylvania Code chapters which will undergo a sunset review to determine whether the regulations effectively fulfill the goals for which they were intended. This schedule will also be posted on the DEP World Wide Web Site. All proposed rulemakings are subject to a public comment period of at least 30 days. The public comment period begins on the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin .
Some proposals require longer comment periods by virtue of a statutory mandate.
The EQB or the Department may authorize a longer comment period on particularly complex rulemakings or those that generate significant public interest. All comments received by the public during the public comment period are included in the official public comment record. Copies of the public comments are forwarded by the Department to the Senate and House Environmental Resources and Energy Committees and to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission. The official public comment record for all rulemakings is maintained by the Policy Office and is available for public review. The Department will prepare a Comment and Response Document for all proposed rulemakings.
