Department of Labor and Industry; Boiler and Unfired Pressure Vessel Regulations; Regulation No. 12-58 On October 21, 2004, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Department of Labor and Industry (Department). This rulemaking deletes Chapter 3 and adds Chapter 3a to Title 34 Pa. Code. The proposed regulation was published in the November 6, 2004 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on September 19, 2005.
This regulation implements the Boiler and Unfired Pressure Vessel Law, Act 85 of 1998 (35 P. S. §§ 1331.1--1331.19). The regulation sets forth requirements and procedures for the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, inspection and operation of boilers and unfired pressure vessels.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Department (35 P. S. § 1331.14) 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.
