- (a) The purpose of the rules in this part shall be to establish a mechanism whereby a person who is uncertain of the applicability of a particular statute implemented by the department or rule adopted by the department may request a decision in advance of taking an action that might be subject to such statute or rule.
- (b) These rules shall not be used to circumvent other established methods of adjudication, such as an appeal to a council created under RSA 21-O, in cases where the department has already made a determination, such as by issuing or denying a permit or by initiating an enforcement action.
