    Catalog of Nonregulatory Documents

    [46 Pa.B. 5185]
    [Saturday, August 20, 2016]

     Under Executive Order 1996-1, agencies under the jurisdiction of the Governor must catalog and publish nonregulatory documents such as policy statements, guidance manuals, decisions, rules and other written materials that provide compliance related information. The following compilation is the twentieth list of the nonregulatory documents. This list is updated and published annually in August.

     This catalog is being provided to ensure that the public has complete access to the information necessary to understand and comply with State regulations. We have made every effort to ensure that the catalog includes all documents in effect as of July 26, 2016; however, due to the breadth and changing nature of these documents, we cannot guarantee absolute accuracy. Facilitating access to information is important to enhancing the partnership between the regulated community and the State.
