N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.3A requires the Board to conduct a review of its rules every ten years, determining whether each rule is necessary or unnecessary. An unnecessary rule is obsolete, redundant, or otherwise not needed. A report of the Board’s initial determination concerning each rule can be found at the link below. The report will be available for at least 60 days for the public to review and provide comment. A copy of the report is also posted on the Office of Administrative Hearings’ website. The Board will respond to any public comments by addressing the merits of each comment. After the comment period is over and the Board has had an opportunity to make its final determination, the Board will send the Rules Review Commission a report of the determinations as well as public comments received and the Board’s response.
“Public comment” is defined by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.3A(a)(5) as a written objection to all or part of a rule. Additionally, pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.3A(c)(2), in order for the Rules Review Commission to determine whether the public comment has merit, the public comment must address the specific substance of the rule and address any of the standards of Commission review, as set forth in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.9(a).
If you would like to provide comment on the Board’s initial determination of whether each of its rules are necessary or unnecessary, please send written comment to:
