DISTRICT DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING
The Director of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE), pursuant to the authority set forth in Section 107(4) of the District Department of the Environment Establishment Act of 2005, effective February 15, 2006 (D.C. Law 16-51; D.C. Official Code § 8-151.07(4) (2012 Repl.)); and Mayor’s Order 2006-61, dated June 14, 2006, hereby gives notice of the following amendments to the text of chapter headings in Title 20 (Environment) of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR).
The amendments make non-substantive changes to the text of chapter headings, to include the applicable subject matter in the title. When the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations were reorganized for online publication, the subtitles in the hard-copy publications were removed. As a result, members of the regulated community have had difficulty navigating the numerous environmental regulations implemented by DDOE. Therefore, DDOE is proposing these amendments to clarify which chapters, previously organized by subtitle, are grouped together and concern the same subject matter. These changes do not alter the meaning, intent, or application of the rules.
