[Saturday, March 8, 2008]A proposed rulemaking was published at 38 Pa.B. 750 (February 9, 2008). The proposed rulemaking included Chapter 23 (relating to school health), as well as Chapter 27 (relating to communicable and noncommunicable diseases). The proposed rulemaking was inadvertently published without a reference to the School Immunization Regulations in its title. Comments were due to this rulemaking by March 10, 2008. Because the proposed rulemaking was published under an incomplete title, and the Department of Health (Health) has concerns that interested parties may fail to realize the content of the proposed rulemaking, the Department is hereby providing notice that it intends to extend the public comment period for an additional 2 weeks. Written comments will be accepted by the Department until March 24, 2008.
Written comments should be directed to Heather Stafford, Director, Division of Immunization, Department of Health, Room 1026, Health and Welfare Building, 7th and Forster Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 787-5681, by March 24, 2008. Persons with a disability who wish to submit comments, suggestions or objections regarding the proposed rulemaking may do so by using the previously listed number or address. Speech and/or hearing impaired persons may use V/TT (717) 783-6514 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TT).
