Corrective Amendments to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A, Table 7

[44 Pa.B. 3235]
[Saturday, May 31, 2014]

 The Department of Environmental Protection has discovered discrepancies between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A, Table 7, as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau, published at 27 Pa.B. 4181 (August 16, 1997), and the official text published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 327, February 2002). When amendments to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A adopted at 31 Pa.B. 6395 (November 24, 2001) were codified, Table 7 was inadvertently omitted.

 Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department of Environmental Protection has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A, Table 7. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A, Table 7 is effective as of February 2, 2002, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 The correct version of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A, Table 7 appears in Annex A.
