Practice and Procedure

July 18, 2007

   We submit for your consideration the following comments on the proposed rulemaking published in the May 19, 2007 Pennsylvania Bulletin. Our comments are based on criteria in Section 5.2 of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5b). Section 5.1(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5a(a)) directs the Gaming Control Board (Board) to respond to all comments received from us or any other source.

1. Section 495a.3. Incorporation by reference.--Clarity.

   This section is similar to Section 33.3 of the General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure (GRAPP), 1 Pa. Code § 33.3 (relating to incorporation by reference). Where other provisions of this regulation cover the same subject matter as in the GRAPP, those provisions specify whether the respective GRAPP sections are either supplemented or superseded. For purposes of consistency and clarity, the Board should specify whether this section supplements or supersedes 1 Pa. Code § 33.3.
