				  regulation development and drafting process, agencies should advise and consult
				  with the Governor's Policy Office, the Office of General Counsel and the Budget
				  Office whenever the agency determines that the involvement would hasten the
				  review process.

				  meet the needs of the agency and the regulated community.
(d) By August 6, 1996, agencies shall submit
