- (a) Section 202 of the act (45 P. S. § 1202) provides that before taking action upon an administrative regulation or change the agency shall review and consider a written comment submitted under § 7.1 (relating to notice of proposed rulemaking required) and may hold public hearings as appropriate; that if the statute or other authority under which a regulation is proposed to be promulgated, amended or repealed requires the holding of public hearings or establishes other procedures in addition to those prescribed by sections 201—208 of the act (45 P. S. § § 1201—1208), the agency shall hold public hearings or comply with the other procedures as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the act; that the agency text of an administrative regulation or change as finally adopted may contain modifications to the proposed text as published under § 7.1 as do not enlarge its original purpose; and that modifications which enlarge the original purpose of a proposal as published under § 7.1 shall be republished thereunder prior to final adoption by the agency.
- (b) Whenever an agency finally adopts a proposed regulation more than 1 year after the proposed regulation was published under § 7.1, the Bureau will republish, in full, the entire regulation as finally adopted.
