Official Code § 2-559), and the Director of the Department of Health, pursuant to the authority set forth in section 104 of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act of 1985, effective October 5, 1985 (D.C. Law 6-42, D.C. Official Code § 2-1801.04); Mayor's Order 99-68, dated April 28, 1999; Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1996; Section 4902 of the Fiscal Year 2002 Budget Support Act of 2001, effective October 3, 2001 (D.C.

Official Code § 47-2885.18(a)(3)); the District of Columbia Uniform Controlled Substances Act of 1981, effective August 5, 1981 (D. C. Law 4-29; D.C. Official Code §§ 48-901.01, et seq.); Mayor’s Order 98-48, dated April 15, 1998, Section 15 of the District of Columbia Drug Manufacture and Distribution Licensure Act of 1990, effective June 13, 1990 (D.C. Law 8-137; D.C. Official Code § 48-714(a)); and Mayor’s Order 98-88, dated May 29, 1998, hereby gives notice of the following correction to the text of the proposed rulemaking published in the D.C.

The preamble in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published at 58 DCR 392 (January 14, 2011) erroneously states that the Council review period for this rulemaking is sixty (60) days.  Section 104 of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act of 1985, effective October 5, 1985 (D.C. Law 6-42, D.C. Official Code § 2-1801.04(a)(1)); however, provides that the Council has thirty (30) days to review amendments to the schedule of fines  Therefore, this Errata Notice corrects the time period of the Council review by changing it from sixty (60) days to thirty (30) days, so that the entire preamble read as follows:

The Director of the Department of Health (Department), pursuant to the authority set forth in section 104 of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act of 1985, effective October 5, 1985 (D.C.

Law 14-28; D.C. Official Code § 7-731); section 19(a)(3) of the District of Columbia Pharmacist and Pharmacy Regulation Act of 1980, effective September 16, 1980 (D.C. Law 3-98; D.C. Official Code § 47-2885.18(a)(3)); the District of Columbia Uniform Controlled Substances Act of 1981, effective August 5, 1981 (D. C. Law 4-29; D.C. Official Code §§ 48-901.01, et seq.); Mayor’s Order 98-48, dated April 15, 1998, Section 15 of the District of Columbia Drug Manufacture and Distribution Licensure Act of 1990, effective June 13, 1990 (D.C.

Official Code § 48-714(a)); and Mayor’s Order 98-88, dated May 29, 1998, hereby gives notice of his intent to adopt the following amendments to Chapter 36,“Civil Infractions,” of Title 16, “Consumers, Commercial Products, and Civil Infractions,” of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR) in not less than thirty (30) days after the date of publication of this notice in the D.C. Register and upon completion of the thirty (30) day Council period of review if the Council does not act earlier to adopt a resolution approving the rules.
