 We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (4 Pa.C.S. § 1202(b)(30)) 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.
