INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE RULES OF THE APA


RAY BROOK, NY - Pursuant to Executive Order No. 25 issued by Governor Patterson, all New York agencies are required to conduct a regular review of their regulations to ensure that they are current, reflect available technologies, establish clear standards, avoid undue burdens and are as flexible as feasible.

Accordingly, the New York State Adirondack Park Agency invites comments from regulated entities and interested parties to identify existing regulations that impose unnecessary, burdensome or excessive costs, paperwork, reporting or other requirements.

The Agency's regulations are contained in Subtitle Q of Title 9 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (9 NYCRR), which may be accessed on the website of the New York State Department of State at the following link: http://www.dos.state.ny.us/info/nycrr.html

The Adirondack Park Agency requests public comment which describe and quantify any burdens and suggests appropriate remedies that the agency may undertake to eliminate or amend regulations that are unnecessary, unbalanced, unwise, duplicative or unduly burdensome.

Public comments must be received on or before October 18, 2010. Please submit comments in writing to the Adirondack Park Agency,

Attn: APA-Executive Order No. 25 PO Box 99 NYS Route 86 Ray Brook, New York 12977
