NOTICE OF AMENDMENT

 

 

 

TO: All Concerned Persons

 

          1. On February 12, 2015, the Department of Commerce published MAR Notice No. 8-94-128 pertaining to the public hearing on the proposed amendment of the above-stated rule at page 98 of the 2015 Montana Administrative Register, Issue Number 3.

 

2. The department has amended the above-stated rule as proposed.

 

3. The department has thoroughly considered the comments and testimony received. A summary of the comments received and the department's responses are as follows:

 

Comment # 1:  Will you be reviewing the revision in your application process, going over any of the proposed changes? So for the future, in terms of our past practices, it's sometimes helpful to review the major pieces with the group.  It facilitates conversation.  This hearing has a different feel to it, much more formal than in the past – just a comment.

 

Response # 1:  Thank you for your comment. The department follows the Administrative Rules of Montana public hearing process and provides a copy of the proposed changes and existing guidelines for the public to review and provide comment.

 

Comment # 2:  No comments in specificity, I just wanted to give a general comment in support of the approach that you've taken in terms of trying to address the great number of needs across the state of Montana.  Based on the infrastructure needs, we need to remain nimble and flexible.  We've got everything from preservation of older housing projects to new construction, to sewer and everything else involved with infrastructure.  I appreciate what you do.

 

Response # 2:  Thank you.
