Department of General Services and Department of Agriculture--General Provisions; Device Type Approval and State Metrology Laboratory; Regulation No. 8-9 On April 20, 2005, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Department of General Services and the Department of Agriculture. This rulemaking amends 70 Pa. Code Chapters 2, 10 and 110. The proposed regulation was published in the April 30, 2005 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on August 5, 2005.
This regulation sets forth a fee schedule that the Department of General Services State Metrology Laboratory (Laboratory) will charge for metrology laboratory calibration evaluations. The Laboratory provides calibration and certification of measurements of mass, length, volume, and time. Anyone who sells, installs, services or repairs commercial weighing and measuring devices will be effected by this regulation.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Department of General Services (3 Pa.C.S.A. § 4178) 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.
