The dates for thepublic comment period as shown on the listserve notice have an :end date for the .publiccomment period of July 3, 20.1.1.8 (33 days)..This discrepancy was discovered as the.request for Certificate of Compliance .was being prepared for submission to OAL. OALwas contacted and per their determination, a notice was sent on August C, 2018 to.those on the listserv, acknowledging theerror and extending the public comment perioda minimum of an additional 15 days to August 24, 201.8. The timing of discovery of theerror and the 15-day extension of the public comment period, has caused, .not only adelay in the delivery of the emergency regulations for the Certificate of Compliance toQAL, but has also caused a situation wherein the regulations will expire during the 30-working day OAL review.

In the event that the Certificate action is disapproved by OAL, the emergencyregulations will expire, The request and approval of-the readopt will ensure that theemergency regulations remain in effect far another 90 days, during which time anyissues with the Certificate action can be resolved.
