The Notice of Emergency and Proposed Rulemaking to amend Sections 122.6, 122.7, 122.9, and 199 of Chapter 1 (Vocational Rehabilitation Services) of Title 29 (Public Welfare) of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR) was originally published in the D.C. Register on September 12, 2014, at 61 DCR 9395-9398.  The original thirty (30) day public comment period ended on Tuesday, October 14, 2014, which was the first business day after the Columbus Day holiday. All comments received by Tuesday, October 14, 2014, will be considered.  Through this Notice, DDS/RSA is extending the public comment period to Monday, November 24, 2014, because the agency learned during the original public comment period that submissions to the email address identified in the published Notice of Emergency and Proposed Rulemaking were undeliverable.

 

Comments on the emergency and proposed rules may be submitted electronically to [e-mail] or in writing to Andrew Reese, Deputy Director, D.C.
