(a)
Section numbers.
A Section number is a four-part number assigned
				  to an individual rule. Each Section number is a unique number within the Code.
				  An OAC Section number has four elements: a Title (agency-level) number; a
				  Chapter number; a Subchapter number; and a number that distinguishes the
				  Section from all other Sections within the same Title, Chapter, and Subchapter.
				  An example of an OAC Section number is 10:20-1-3. This number (10:20-1-3 )
				  contains the following elements:
(1) "10"
				  identifies the Title.
(2) ":20"
				  identifies the Chapter.
(3) "-1"
				  identifies the Subchapter. Note, if no Subchapters are used, the number 1 is
				  used in all Section numbers in the Chapter [see
				  655:10-3-26(a)
				  (relating to "implied Subchapter 1")].
(4) "-3" identifies this Section as the third
				  Section in Subchapter 1 (or implied Subchapter 1) of Chapter 20 of Title
				  10.

(a)
"Implied Subchapter 1".
If a Chapter does not include Subchapters,
				  the digit "1" is used as the Subchapter designation in all Section numbers
				  within that Chapter. This is referred to as an "implied Subchapter
				  1."
(b)
"Implied (a)".
Any undesignated text which immediately follows a Section tagline and precedes
				  an enumeration shall be considered an "implied (a)." As such, it shall not be
				  designated as an (a), and the first enumeration under the "implied (a)" shall
				  be designated at the paragraph level. For example,
				  655:10-3-10
				  illustrates the use of an "implied (a)."

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
To allow for future expansion, some numbers in the Code are
					 "gapped" as follows:
(1)
Title
				  numbers.
Executive Orders are codified in Title 1. To allow for future
				  needs, Titles 2 through 9 were not used in the initial codification scheme.
				  Beginning with Title 10, most Title numbers assigned for the first Code are
				  divisible by five, thus being gapped by four. The OAR assigns Title numbers to
				  agencies upon request, using unused numbers and gapping whenever possible.
(2)
Chapter numbers.
Except for Chapters 1 through 9 which are reserved for "required rules,"
				  Chapter numbers within a Title are initially gapped by four beginning with the
				  number 10 (i.e., 10, 15, 20, 25). [See
				  655:10-5-7
				  (relating to "required rules")]
(3)
Subchapter, Part numbers.
Subchapter and Part numbers initially
				  use odd numbers, thus gapping by one. When designating Subchapters in a new
				  Chapter, or Parts in a new Subchapter, the agency shall gap the numbers
				  pursuant to this paragraph.
(4)
Section numbers.
The first Section in a new Chapter or Subchapter
				  shall begin with the number 1 following the Subchapter designation in the
				  four-part Section number. Within a Subchapter, individual Section numbers
				  increase with no gapping; except, if Parts are used, the first Section number
				  of a new Part increases by at least four. For example, if the last Section
				  number in a Part is 655:10-1-21, the first Section number in the next Part must
				  be designated as 655:10-1-25 or higher.
(5)
Section subdivision
				  numbers/letters.
No gapping in numbering or lettering is allowed when
				  subdividing Sections.
(6)
Appendix designations.
The first Appendix in a Chapter is
				  designated "Appendix A,"and subsequent Appendices are assigned letters, in
				  alphabetical order and with no gapping.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Decimal point numbering may be used when it is necessary to
					 add a Section or Sections between two existing Sections. Use a decimal point
					 followed by an arabic numeral, beginning with the number 1 (e.g., 10:10-3-19,

					 655:10-3-27 is
					 not reserved.
(1)
Reserving
				  numbers by agency request.
Agencies may request the reservation of a
				  Title or Chapter in the Code by submitting a written request to the OAR. The
				  OAR shall review the request and respond in writing. If approved, the OAR will
				  update the Code accordingly.
(2)
Reserving numbers via rulemaking.
Subchapter, Part, and Section
				  numbers, and Appendix letters, may be reserved by an agency in a rulemaking
				  action.
(3)
Reserving numbers
				  by necessity.
The OAR may reserve a Chapter, Subchapter, Part, Section,
				  or Appendix number or letter to correct a numbering gap that is:
(A) not discovered in rules prior to approval
				  by the Governor (if emergency or preemptive) or final adoption (if permanent),
				  and that is not authorized by the gapping policy in
				  655:10-3-27;
				  or
(B) caused by legislative
				  disapproval or withdrawal by the agency from the rulemaking process of a
				  Section, Appendix, Part, Subchapter, or Chapter, when such disapproval or
				  withdrawal results in a gap in numbering not authorized under
				  655:10-3-27.

(b)
Revoked
				  Chapters, Subchapters, Parts.
When an entire Chapter, Subchapter; or
				  Part is revoked, the Chapter, Subchapter, or Part number may be reactivated if
				  new Sections on the same topic are promulgated at a later date. A Chapter is
				  revoked by revoking every Section and Appendix in the Chapter. A Subchapter or
				  Part is revoked by revoking every Section in the Subchapter or Part.
(c)
Revoked Titles.
When an
				  entire Title is revoked, the number is not used again, except at the discretion
				  of the OAR. A Title is considered revoked when every Chapter within the Title
				  has been revoked, as described in (b) of this Section.
(d)
Revoked Appendices.
When an
				  Appendix is revoked, that Appendix letter may not be used again except if the
				  Appendix is replaced with an Appendix covering the same topic [see

				  of Sections.
In a rule document (emergency, permanent, preemptive, or
				  expedited repeal), affected Sections (i.e., Sections that are being added or
				  revised in some way) follow the enacting clause [see
				  655:10-7-14
				  (relating to regulatory text)]. Sections should be separated by one or two
				  blank lines.
(b)
Placement of
				  Section text.
The text of a Section, referred to as "Section text,"
				  begins on the first line below the Section number and tagline, as follows:
(1)
No subdivisions used.
If the
				  Section contains no subdivisions, the first line of text is tabbed
				  approximately 1/4 inch, and the second and succeeding lines of text begin at
				  the left margin.
(2)
Subdivisions used.
(A)
"Implied (a)" used.
If the Section begins with an "implied (a)"
				  [see
				  655:10-3-26]
				  , the first line of text is tabbed approximately 1/4 inch, and the second and
				  succeeding lines of text begin at the left margin. Subdivisions of the "implied
				  (a)" are formatted pursuant to
				  655:10-3-25.
(B)
Subsections used.
If the
				  Section is divided into subsections, the first line of text begins with the
				  subsection designation [i.e., (a)] at the left margin. The text of the
				  subsection begins approximately two spaces following its tagline, if used, or
				  approximately two spaces following its letter designation, if a tagline is not
				  used. For formatting subsequent subsections [i.e., (b), (c), etc.)] and further
				  subdivisions, see
				  655:10-3-25.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) Regulatory text shall be drafted pursuant
				  to this Section and the rule drafting requirements of Subchapter 5 of this
				  Chapter.
(b) All regulatory text
				  must be designated within Sections or Appendices. Within Sections, text must be
				  designated using subdivision numbers/letters, as set forth in
				  655:10-3-25,
				  except when using an implied (a), as described in
				  655:10-3-26.
				  Text may not be "floated" or undesignated. For example, an
undesignated
block of text that starts on a new line following
				  other text in a given subdivision or following an enumeration is "floating"
				  text, and may not be left undesignated.
(c) Every Section must begin with a complete
				  sentence, or begin a sentence which is completed in its subdivisions.
