Department of Transportation—
Odometer Reading Disclosure Statements;
Regulation No. 18-422 (#2906)On September 1, 2011, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this regulation from the Department of Transportation (Department). This rulemaking deletes Chapter 21 of 67 Pa. Code. Notice of proposed rulemaking was omitted for this regulation; it will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
This final-omitted rulemaking deletes Chapter 21 of the Department's regulations. Chapter 21 was promulgated in 1977, and its purpose was to establish the form and manner in which odometer disclosure statements were made as prescribed by Section 1112 of the Vehicle Code (75 Pa.C.S.A. § 1112). Section 1112 was repealed in 1983.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Department (75 Pa.C.S.A § 6103(a)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.
