Department of Community and Economic Development--Industrial Housing; Regulation No. 4-72 On August 9, 2002, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Department of Community and Economic Development (Department). This rulemaking amends 12 Pa. Code Chapter 145. The proposed regulation was published in the October 12, 2002, Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The Department resubmitted the proposed regulation on February 18, 2003, under section 5(e) of the Regulatory Review Act, which was in effect at the time the regulation was proposed. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on July 20, 2004.
The final-form regulation updates and clarifies provisions related to Department and third-party inspections, definitions of terms and reporting requirements; adopts the International Codes Council's International Building Code; and increases fees charged by the Department for the industrialized housing program.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Department (35 P. S. § 1651.5) 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.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.
