REGISTER INFORMATION PAGE
Vol. 31 Iss. 12 - February 09, 2015

The Virginia Register OF REGULATIONS is an official state publication issued every other week throughout the year. Indexes are published quarterly, and are cumulative for the year. The Virginia Register has several functions. The new and amended sections of regulations, both as proposed and as finally adopted, are required by law to be published in the Virginia Register. In addition, the Virginia Register is a source of other information about state government, including petitions for rulemaking, emergency regulations, executive orders issued by the Governor, and notices of public hearings on regulations.

ADOPTION, AMENDMENT, AND REPEAL OF REGULATIONS

An agency wishing to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations must first publish in the Virginia Register a notice of intended regulatory action; a basis, purpose, substance and issues statement; an economic impact analysis prepared by the Department of Planning and Budget; the agency’s response to the economic impact analysis; a summary; a notice giving the public an opportunity to comment on the proposal; and the text of the proposed regulation.

Following publication of the proposal in the Virginia Register, the promulgating agency receives public comments for a minimum of 60 days. The Governor reviews the proposed regulation to determine if it is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and if it is clearly written and easily understandable. If the Governor chooses to comment on the proposed regulation, his comments must be transmitted to the agency and the Registrar no later than 15 days following the completion of the 60-day public comment period. The Governor’s comments, if any, will be published in the Virginia Register. Not less than 15 days following the completion of the 60-day public comment period, the agency may adopt the proposed regulation.

The Joint Commission on Administrative Rules (JCAR) or the appropriate standing committee of each house of the General Assembly may meet during the promulgation or final adoption process and file an objection with the Registrar and the promulgating agency. The objection will be published in the Virginia Register. Within 21 days after receipt by the agency of a legislative objection, the agency shall file a response with the Registrar, the objecting legislative body, and the Governor.

When final action is taken, the agency again publishes the text of the regulation as adopted, highlighting all changes made to the proposed regulation and explaining any substantial changes made since publication of the proposal. A 30-day final adoption period begins upon final publication in the Virginia Register.

The Governor may review the final regulation during this time and, if he objects, forward his objection to the Registrar and the agency. In addition to or in lieu of filing a formal objection, the Governor may suspend the effective date of a portion or all of a regulation until the end of the next regular General Assembly session by issuing a directive signed by a majority of the members of the appropriate legislative body and the Governor. The Governor’s objection or suspension of the regulation, or both, will be published in the Virginia Register. If the Governor finds that changes made to the proposed regulation have substantial impact, he may require the agency to provide an additional 30-day public comment period on the changes. Notice of the additional public comment period required by the Governor will be published in the Virginia Register.

The agency shall suspend the regulatory process for 30 days when it receives requests from 25 or more individuals to solicit additional public comment, unless the agency determines that the changes have minor or inconsequential impact.

A regulation becomes effective at the conclusion of the 30-day final adoption period, or at any other later date specified by the promulgating agency, unless (i) a legislative objection has been filed, in which event the regulation, unless withdrawn, becomes effective on the date specified, which shall be after the expiration of the 21-day objection period; (ii) the Governor exercises his authority to require the agency to provide for additional public comment, in which event the regulation, unless withdrawn, becomes effective on the date specified, which shall be after the expiration of the period for which the Governor has provided for additional public comment; (iii) the Governor and the General Assembly exercise their authority to suspend the effective date of a regulation until the end of the next regular legislative session; or (iv) the agency suspends the regulatory process, in which event the regulation, unless withdrawn, becomes effective on the date specified, which shall be after the expiration of the 30-day public comment period and no earlier than 15 days from publication of the readopted action.

A regulatory action may be withdrawn by the promulgating agency at any time before the regulation becomes final.

FAST-TRACK RULEMAKING PROCESS

Section 2.2-4012.1 of the Code of Virginia provides an exemption from certain provisions of the Administrative Process Act for agency regulations deemed by the Governor to be noncontroversial.  To use this process, Governor's concurrence is required and advance notice must be provided to certain legislative committees.  Fast-track regulations will become effective on the date noted in the regulatory action if no objections to using the process are filed in accordance with § 2.2-4012.1.

EMERGENCY REGULATIONS

Pursuant to § 2.2-4011 of the Code of Virginia, an agency, upon consultation with the Attorney General, and at the discretion of the Governor, may adopt emergency regulations that are necessitated by an emergency situation. An agency may also adopt an emergency regulation when Virginia statutory law or the appropriation act or federal law or federal regulation requires that a regulation be effective in 280 days or less from its enactment. The emergency regulation becomes operative upon its adoption and filing with the Registrar of Regulations, unless a later date is specified. Emergency regulations are limited to no more than 18 months in duration; however, may be extended for six months under certain circumstances as provided for in § 2.2-4011 D. Emergency regulations are published as soon as possible in the Register.

During the time the emergency status is in effect, the agency may proceed with the adoption of permanent regulations through the usual procedures. To begin promulgating the replacement regulation, the agency must (i) file the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action with the Registrar within 60 days of the effective date of the emergency regulation and (ii) file the proposed regulation with the Registrar within 180 days of the effective date of the emergency regulation. If the agency chooses not to adopt the regulations, the emergency status ends when the prescribed time limit expires.

STATEMENT

The foregoing constitutes a generalized statement of the procedures to be followed. For specific statutory language, it is suggested that Article 2 (§ 2.2-4006 et seq.) of Chapter 40 of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia be examined carefully.

Summary:

The amendments update the regulations to reflect changes in the federal Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), 2013 Revision, and make other changes. The amendments include:

1. Add definitions to address new developments in the industry, including definitions for "aseptic processing and packaging systems," "clean in place," "contaminated milk," and "food allergen."

2. Eliminate the requirement for official cryoscope (added water) testing in milk since this testing is already performed by the dairy cooperatives as well as by fluid milk processing plants and eliminate regulatory action requirements (warnings, suspension, and reinstatement) for volatile cryoscope results because cryoscope testing will no longer be required;

3. Add minimum frequencies for inspections of dairy farms, milk tank trucks, and milk hauler/samplers;

4. Add a provision requiring that all tests for pasteurized milk and milk products requiring sampling and testing be performed only when test methods are available that are validated by the Food and Drug Administration and accepted by the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments;

5. Add requirements for screening or testing of raw milk transported in containers other than bulk milk tankers (i.e., milk cans), which reflects changes in the industry regarding bulk milk containers;

6. Add information regarding the processing requirements for heat-treated cream;

7. Add grade "A" pasteurized condensed standards for temperature and coliform to the grade "A" milk and milk products standards in 2VAC5-490-50;

8. Eliminate certain standards applying to nonfat dry milk, which are quality based and not dairy safety related;

9. Add provisions authorizing the utilization of electronic temperature recording charts on dairy farm bulk tanks, which reflects changes in the industry as well as the 2013 PMO and allows the industry to legally utilize electronic temperature monitoring systems;

10. Add provisions relating to temperature requirements for "milk product flavoring slurries" and cultured cottage cheese, which enables the dairy program to provide specific temperature requirements for these products and processes and further ensures the safety of the milk supply;

11. Incorporate by reference Appendices H and S from the 2013 PMO into the regulation. Appendix H relates to regulatory requirements at the dairy farm level (e.g., temperature) and Appendix S addresses aseptic processing requirements at the grade "A" fluid milk processing plant;

12. Add provisions allowing for use of hand drying devices; and

13. Add certain requirements relating to block-bleed-block or mix-proof valves for automatic milking installations to ensure that these machines have proper valves and further ensure that the milk supply remains safe.

TABLE B5 - NOTES Notes:

N/A Currently No BOD5 limits or wasteload have been imposed by the VPDES permit. Should BOD5 limits (wasteload) be imposed a WQMP amendment would be required for water quality limited segments only.

1Secondary treatment levels are required in effluent limiting (E.L.) segments. In water quality limiting (W.Q.) segments quantities listed represent wasteload allocations.

2Ending river miles have not been determined for some effluent limited segments.

3These allocations represent current and original (1977 WQMP) modeling. Future revisions may be necessary based on Virginia State Water Control Board modeling.

4The total assimilative capacity at critical stream flow for this portion of Segment 2-2 has been modeled and verified by Hydroscience, Inc. (March 1977) to be 4,914 kg/day BOD5.

5The discharge is to an unnamed tributary to the Jackson River at Jackson River mile 22.93.

6The discharge is at Jackson River mile 19.22.

7The discharge is to the mouth of Karnes Creek, a tributary to the Jackson River at Jackson River mile 5.44.

8The discharge is at Jackson River mile 6.67.

9The discharge is at Jackson River mile 5.14.

10The discharge is at Jackson River mile 4.72.

11The discharge is at Jackson River mile 3.46.

12The discharge is at Jackson River mile 1.17.

13The discharge is at Jackson River mile 0.76.

14The discharge is to the mouth of Wilson Creek, a tributary to the Jackson River at Jackson River mile 2.44.

15The discharge is to the mouth of Eagle Rock Creek, a tributary to the Jackson River at Jackson River mile 330.35.

STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION

CASE NO. BFI-2014-00009

Ex Parte: In re: Money Order Sellers
and Money Transmitters

ORDER ADOPTING REGULATIONS

On September 24, 2014, the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") entered an Order to Take Notice of a proposal by the Bureau of Financial Institutions ("Bureau") to amend the Commission's regulations governing licensed money order sellers and money transmitters, which are set forth in Chapter 120 of Title 10 of the Virginia Administrative Code, 10VAC5-120-10 et seq. The Order to Take Notice and proposed regulations were published in the Virginia Register of Regulations on October 20, 2014, posted on the Commission's website, and sent to all licensed money order sellers and money transmitters, and other interested parties. Licensees and other interested parties were afforded the opportunity to file written comments or request a hearing on or before November 20, 2014.

Comments on the proposed regulations were filed by Terry Harbin of GSC Enterprises, Inc., and Bradley S. Lui, Esquire, counsel for The Money Services Round Table. The Commission did not receive any requests for a hearing.

Mr. Harbin indicated in his comments that the requirement in 10VAC5-120-40 C that licensees file a written report with the Commissioner of Financial Institutions within one business day following the occurrence of certain events is unreasonable. He suggested a ten day reporting requirement following the occurrence of a covered event. Mr. Lui expressed a similar concern and suggested a thirty day reporting requirement following a licensee becoming aware of the occurrence of a covered event, not upon the actual occurrence of the event. Mr. Lui also noted that § 6.2-1917 of the Code of Virginia does not require licensees to report the expected impact of a covered event on the licensee's Virginia activities.

Mr. Lui further commented that the prohibitions in 10VAC5-120-60 B and 10VAC5-120-70 J on a licensee providing false, misleading, or deceptive information to the Bureau or to a Virginia resident may be overly broad and have the potential to apply to unintentional acts by a licensee. He recommended that the proposed regulations be modified to prohibit licensees from knowingly providing false, misleading, or deceptive information to the Bureau or to a Virginia resident, or providing such information with the intent to deceive.

The Bureau considered the comments filed and responded to them in its Statements of Position, which the Bureau filed with the Clerk of the Commission on December 17, 2014. In its response, the Bureau stated that it is amenable to (1) replacing the first instance of the word "following" in 10VAC5-120-40 C with the words "after a licensee becomes aware of"; and (2) removing the requirement that a licensee report the expected impact that a covered event would have on the licensee's Virginia activities. The Bureau otherwise recommended that the Commission adopt the proposed regulations as proposed.

NOW THE COMMISSION, having considered the proposed regulations, the comments filed, the Bureau's Statements of Position, the record herein, and applicable law, concludes that the proposed regulations should be modified to incorporate certain suggestions that were made by commenters and the Bureau. The Commission further concludes that the proposed regulations, as modified, should be adopted with an effective date of February 15, 2015.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The proposed regulations, as modified herein and attached hereto, are adopted effective February 15, 2015.

(2) This Order and the attached regulations shall be posted on the Commission's website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.

(3) The Commission's Division of Information Resources shall provide a copy of this Order, including a copy of the attached regulations, to the Virginia Registrar of Regulations for publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations.

(4) This case is dismissed, and the papers filed herein shall be placed in the Commission's file for ended causes.

AN ATTESTED COPY hereof, together with a copy of the attached regulations, shall be sent by the Clerk of the Commission to the Commission's Office of General Counsel and the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, who shall forthwith send a copy of this Order, together with a copy of the attached regulations, to all licensed money order sellers and money transmitters, and such other interested parties as he may designate.

If no time period is specified, a written response as well as any requested books, records, documentation, or information shall be delivered by the licensee or its authorized delegate to the bureau not later than 30 days from the date of such request. In determining the specified time period for responding to the bureau and when considering a request for an extension of time to respond, the bureau shall take into consideration the volume and complexity of the requested written response, books, records, documentation, or information, and such other factors as the bureau determines to be relevant under the circumstances. Requests made by the bureau pursuant to this subsection are deemed to be in furtherance of the bureau's investigation and examination authority provided for in § 6.2-1910 of the Code of Virginia.

B. A licensee shall not provide any false, misleading, or deceptive information to the bureau.

10VAC5-120-70. Acquisitions; additional business requirements and restrictions; operating rules.

F. In addition to the records specified in § 6.2-1916 B of the Code of Virginia, a licensee shall maintain in its principal place of business such other books, accounts, and records as the commissioner may reasonably require in order to determine whether such licensee is complying with the provisions of Chapter 19, this chapter, and other laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of its business.

G. If a licensee, authorized delegate, or former licensee disposes of records containing a consumer's personal financial information or copies of a consumer's identification documents, such records and copies shall be shredded, incinerated, or otherwise disposed of in a secure manner. A licensee, authorized delegate, or former licensee may arrange for service from a business record destruction vendor.

H.

C. The receivables specified in § 6.2-1919 A 5 of the Code of Virginia shall be limited to funds that have been collected by a licensee's authorized delegates directly from residents of the United States for money transmission transactions.

10VAC5-120-90. Enforcement.

A. Failure to comply with any provision of Chapter 19 or this chapter may result in civil penalties, license revocation, the entry of a cease and desist order, or other appropriate enforcement action.

B. Pursuant to § 6.2-1920 of the Code of Virginia, a person required to be licensed under Chapter 19 shall be subject to a civil penalty of up to $2,500 for every violation of Chapter 19, this chapter, or other law or regulation applicable to the conduct of the person's business. Furthermore, if a person violates any provision of Chapter 19, this chapter, or other law or regulation applicable to the conduct of the person's business in connection with multiple money order sales or money transmission transactions, the person shall be subject to a separate civil penalty for each money order sale or money transmission transaction. For example, if a person sells five money orders and the person violates two provisions of this chapter in connection with each of the five money order sales, there would be a total of 10 violations and the person would be subject to a maximum civil penalty of $25,000.

10VAC5-120-100. Commission authority.

The commission may, at its discretion, waive or grant exceptions to any provision of this chapter for good cause shown.

TITLE 17. LIBRARIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORIC RESOURCES
Proposed Regulation

Title of Regulation: 17VAC10-30. Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (amending 17VAC10-30-10 through 17VAC10-30-160).

Statutory Authority: §§ 10.1-2202 and 58.1-339.2 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Hearing Information: No public hearings are scheduled.

Public Comment Deadline: April 10, 2015.

Agency Contact: Elizabeth Tune, Manager, Office of Preservation Incentives, Department of Historic Resources, 2801 Kensington Avenue, Richmond, VA 23221, telephone (804) 482-6093, FAX (804) 367-2391, TTY (804) 367-2386, or email elizabeth.tune@dhr.virginia.gov.

Basis: The Department of Historic Resources (DHR) has specific statutory authority under § 58.1-339.2 of the Code of Virginia to promulgate regulations necessary to implement the Virginia Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program. The regulation is mandated in whole by the state statute. The statute provides that the Director of the Department of Historic Resources shall establish by regulation the requirements needed for the program, including the fees to defray the necessary expenses and the extent to which the availability of the credit is coextensive with the availability of the federal rehabilitation tax credit.

Purpose: Amendment and clarification of the existing program regulations are necessary to enhance the ease of use for applicants, more clearly set out the application requirements and standards of review for both applicants and DHR staff, and establish stricter reporting requirements to prevent abuse of the program. Additionally, the amendments revise the existing fee structure to more accurately reflect the time and professional expertise necessary for DHR's review of projects.

By clarifying existing language, this amendment will make the application process and requirements easier to understand for property owners and promote the wide use of the program, which has demonstrated direct environmental, economic, and social benefits resulting from reinvestment in existing buildings and historic communities.

Enhancing the reporting and attestation requirements on the part of the applicant, both in the description and documentation of proposed and completed rehabilitation work and in the eligible rehabilitation expenses reported as being incurred through the project, is intended to prevent abuse of the program and increase the reliability and certainty of the information presented to DHR for certification.

Substance: The proposed amendments (i) revise definitions and define four new terms; (ii) explain the application requirements for properties that are individually listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register and clarify the procedure for Certifications of Historic Significance for moved buildings; (iii) describe in greater detail the process for obtaining Certifications of Rehabilitation, clarify the information that must be disclosed by the applicant and submitted to DHR for review, enhance the attestation requirements of the property owner, and amend the requirements for CPA review of eligible rehabilitation expenses and subsequent reporting by the property owner; (iv) revise the fee structure to refine the categories based on project costs and raise the review fees; (v) more clearly define what constitutes a rehabilitation project; (vi) provide a more detailed description of expenses that are not eligible for the rehabilitation tax credit; and (vii) stipulate that expenses incurred before 2003 are not eligible for the rehabilitation tax credits.

Issues: Amending the existing regulations to clarify the application process and reporting requirements will benefit all users of the program. The application process, necessary documentation, and reporting requirements will be more clearly described for property owners applying for the rehabilitation tax credit. This will also aid DHR in the review of rehabilitation projects, as the information submitted will be more complete, and DHR staff will be better able to review the information submitted and to respond to the applicant.

Strengthening the requirements for attestation and reporting by the owner, particularly the requirements for determining the eligible rehabilitation expenditures, will provide greater assurance to DHR and the Commonwealth that the information submitted is reliable and that subsequent certification of the application by DHR has a factual basis.

According to the existing regulations, property owners/applicants must obtain CPA certification of the eligible rehabilitation expenses for projects with expenses exceeding $100,000. The proposed amendment would require that all projects have CPA review of expenses, according to the format proscribed by DHR policy. Thus, there will be a new requirement and associated cost for projects under the $100,000 threshold. However, this important change is proposed to ensure that all expenses for which tax credits are granted are valid and eligible for the credits. It should be noted that the CPA certification of rehabilitation expenses also provides assurance to the property owner and their investors that the statement of eligible rehabilitation expenses is reliable. This change, therefore, will be beneficial to the property owners/applicants, DHR, and the Commonwealth.

The revised fee structure increases the fees charged by DHR for review of the applications. The existing fee structure, which has been in place since the inception of the program, no longer reflects the extensive amount of time and expertise required of DHR to review the applications and administer the program. The revised fee schedule includes more refined cost categories, and the fees charged for review of an application will not exceed 1.0% of project costs. While the cost to the applicant will increase, DHR believes that it is a fair and necessary change. Again, the increased fees will more accurately reflect the investment of resources required of DHR in review of projects and will allow DHR to maintain and, perhaps, expand its program capacity.

The proposed revisions have been carefully drafted to enhance the usability of the rehabilitation tax credit program, while ensuring its integrity for property owners, DHR, and the Commonwealth.

Department of Planning and Budget's Economic Impact Analysis:

Summary of the Proposed Amendments to Regulation. The Department of Historic Resources (DHR) proposes to amend its regulations governing historic property rehabilitation tax credits. Specifically, DHR proposes to make numerous clarifying changes, add categories of fees and increase fees and change the rules under which a CPA audit is required.

Result of Analysis. There is insufficient information to accurately gauge whether benefits are likely to outweigh costs for substantive proposed changes. Since this is a voluntary program, however, owners of rehabilitated properties will likely not participate if the benefit they receive will not outweigh the costs of participation.

Estimated Economic Impact. DHR's Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit regulations govern the allocation of tax credits for the refurbishment of historic properties. Qualifying property owners may claim credits against tax liabilities for 25% of eligible rehabilitation expenses. DHR proposes to make many clarifying changes to these regulations. None of these clarifying changes impose new restrictions or requirements on applicant property owners but instead are aimed at making regulatory text more understandable. Consequently, no entity is likely to incur any costs on account of these changes; to the extent that tax credit rules are made less opaque, affected property owners will benefit.

In addition to clarifying changes, DHR proposes to increase the number of fee categories to better calibrate fees to the cost of rehabilitation projects and also to increase fees to reflect the actual costs for DHR staff: DHR established these fees in 1997 and has not raised them since. A chart that shows current and proposed fee categories and amounts is below:

*DHR may, upon request, provide expedited review of applications within 5 days instead of the normal 30 days. Extra fees are charged when expedited review is provided.

DHR also proposes to change the criteria under which property owners must pay for a financial review of their rehabilitation projects. Current regulations do not require a certified public accountant (CPA) review of projects with rehabilitation costs equal to or less than $100,000 and only require a CPA or equivalent certification of the actual costs attributed to the rehabilitation project for projects of greater than $100,000. DHR believes that this standard allows both inadvertent mistakes as well as fraud in deciding and reporting which expenses qualify. Consequently, DHR now proposes to require a CPA agreed-upon procedures report of expenses (that is equivalent to the certification now required of projects greater than $100,000) for projects with rehabilitation costs of less than $250,000 and to require a CPA audit for projects with costs greater than or equal to $250,000. DHR staff reports that cost review work carried out under agreed-upon procedures will likely cost between $1,000 and $3,500 and an audit will likely cost between $5,000 and $10,000.

Both fees charged under these regulations and financial review costs are qualifying expenses that are eligible for the 25% tax credit offset. Increases in these costs will likely lead to a decrease in the value of tax credits to applicants but are unlikely to be of a magnitude that applying for tax credits under this program would cost more than the value received. Because this is a voluntary program, individuals whose costs for applying outweigh benefits would be expected to refrain from taking part in the program.

Businesses and Entities Affected. All historic property owners who apply for tax credits under this program will be affected by these proposed regulations. DHR reports that they have received an average of 248 applications per year for new historic rehabilitation projects over the last five years.

Localities Particularly Affected. No locality will be particularly affected by this proposed regulatory action.

Projected Impact on Employment. These proposed regulations will likely lead to a slight increase in the number of financial review projects completed by CPAs in the Commonwealth.

Effects on the Use and Value of Private Property. To the extent that the availability of tax credits encourages property owners to rehabilitate their properties, the value of those properties will likely increase. Increases in the costs of applying for tax credits may slightly dampen incentives to participate in this tax credit program.

Small Businesses: Costs and Other Effects. Small business property owners who choose to participate in this program will be subject to increased fees and financial reporting costs.

Small Businesses: Alternative Method that Minimizes Adverse Impact. There are likely no alternate methods that would both meet DHR's goals and further minimize costs for affected entities.

Real Estate Development Costs. This regulatory action will likely increase real estate development costs for individuals who choose to apply for tax credits through this program.

Legal Mandate. The Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) has analyzed the economic impact of this proposed regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4007.04 of the Administrative Process Act and Executive Order Number 14 (10). Section 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include, but need not be limited to, the projected number of businesses or other entities to whom the regulation would apply, the identity of any localities and types of businesses or other entities particularly affected, the projected number of persons and employment positions to be affected, the projected costs to affected businesses or entities to implement or comply with the regulation, and the impact on the use and value of private property. Further, if the proposed regulation has adverse effect on small businesses, § 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include (i) an identification and estimate of the number of small businesses subject to the regulation; (ii) the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other administrative costs required for small businesses to comply with the regulation, including the type of professional skills necessary for preparing required reports and other documents; (iii) a statement of the probable effect of the regulation on affected small businesses; and (iv) a description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the purpose of the regulation. The analysis presented above represents DPB's best estimate of these economic impacts.

Agency's Response to Economic Impact Analysis: The Department of Historic Resources concurs with the results of the economic impact analysis.

Summary:

The amendments to the regulations governing historic property rehabilitation tax credits (i) make numerous clarifying changes; (ii) revise the fee structure and increase fees charged by the department for reviewing rehabilitation certification requests; (iii) require review by a certified public account of rehabilitation expenses for all projects, including projects with expenses less than $100,000; and (iv) change the eligibility date for the tax credit for incurred rehabilitation expenses from January 1, 1997, and later to January 1, 2003, and later.

17VAC10-30-20. Introduction to certifications of significance and rehabilitation.

A. Individuals, estates, partnerships, trusts, or corporations may apply for certification of historic significance and certification of rehabilitations.

B. Requests for certifications of historic significance and of rehabilitations shall be made on the Historic Preservation Certification Application forms. Part 1 of the application, Evaluation of Significance, is used to request certification of historic significance. Part 2 of the application, Description of Rehabilitation, is used to request certification of a proposed rehabilitation project. Part 3 of the application, Request for Certification of Completed Work, is used to request certification of a completed rehabilitation project. If a rehabilitation project is completed before preparing Part 2 of the application, the applicant owner shall prepare and submit Parts 2 and 3 simultaneously.

C. The Historic Preservation Certification Application forms are available from the Department of Historic Resources, as well as on the department's website at www.dhr.virginia.gov.

D. The department generally completes reviews of certification requests within 30 days of receiving a complete, adequately documented application. Where adequate information is not provided, the department will notify the applicant owner of the additional information needed to complete the review. The department will adhere to this time period as closely as possible, but it is not mandatory, and the failure to complete a review within the designated period does not waive or alter any certification requirement. Expedited review of projects is available upon request as set forth in 17VAC10-30-80.

E. Certifications are only given in writing by duly authorized officials of the Department of Historic Resources. Decisions with respect to certifications are made on the basis of the information contained in the application form and other available information.

17VAC10-30-30. Certifications of historic significance.

A. Any property owner may consult with the Department of Historic Resources to determine whether a property is listed individually on the Virginia Landmarks Register, or whether a property is located within a historic district that is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register.

B. Properties listed individually on the Virginia Landmarks Register are certified historic structures. For individually listed properties that contain more than one building or structure, the owner shall prepare Part 1 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application, "Evaluation of Significance," according to the instructions accompanying the application, describe each building and structure present, and provide information, including:

1. Name and mailing address of the owner;

2. Name and address of the property;

3. Current photographs of each building and structure, and its site, showing exterior and interior features and spaces adequate to document the building's or structure's significance;

4. Brief description of the appearance of the building or structure, including alterations, characteristic features, and estimated date or dates of construction;

6. Brief statement of significance, summarizing how the building or structure reflects the recognized historic values of the property;

7. Map showing the location of each building or structure on the property; and

8. Signature of the owner requesting certification.

C. For properties located in registered historic districts, the applicant shall request that the Department of Historic Resources determine whether the property is of historic significance to the district. The applicant shall prepare Part 1 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application form according to the instructions accompanying the application, including:

1. Name and mailing address of the owner;

2. Name and address of the property;

3. Name of the historic district;

4. Current photographs of the building and its site, showing exterior and interior features and spaces adequate to document the property's significance;

5. Brief description of the appearance of the property, including alterations, characteristic features, and estimated date or dates of construction;

6. Brief statement of significance, summarizing how the property reflects the recognized historic values of the historic district;

7. Map showing the location of the property within the historic district; and

8. Signature of the owner requesting certification.

D. Properties containing more than one building, where the department determines that the buildings have been functionally related historically to serve an overall purpose, such as a mill complex or a residence and carriage house, will be treated as a single certified historic structure, whether the property is individually listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register or is located within a registered historic district. Buildings that are functionally related historically are those that have functioned together to serve an overall purpose during the property's period of significance. In determining the value of the property under 17VAC10-30-100, each building will be assessed individually. All buildings on the property are not required to be rehabilitated in order for the owner to participate in the program. However, the work at each building for which tax credits are sought must be a material rehabilitation.

E. Properties within registered historic districts will be evaluated to determine if they contribute to the historic significance of the district by application of the standards set forth in 17VAC10-30-40.

F. Owners of properties that are not listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register may request a determination from the department as to whether the property meets the criteria for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register. The department will provide written notification to the applicant owner of determinations of eligibility. Individual properties Wherever appropriate, the Director of the Department of Historic Resources may determine eligibility at his sole discretion. Properties determined by the department to be eligible for individual listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register are certified historic structures.

G. Owners of properties that are located in potential historic districts may request preliminary determinations from the department as to whether the potential historic district meets the criteria for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register. Owners of properties located in districts determined to be eligible for listing may apply for preliminary certification of their properties, as specified in 17VAC10-30-40. Applications for preliminary certification of buildings within eligible historic districts must show how the district meets the criteria for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register, and how the property contributes to the significance of that district, as specified in 17VAC10-30-40. Preliminary certifications will become final, and the properties will become certified historic structures, as of the date of listing the district on the Virginia Landmarks Register. Issuance of preliminary certification does not obligate the department to nominate the potential district. Applicants Owners proceed with rehabilitation projects at their own risk; if the historic district is not listed in on the Virginia Landmarks Register, the preliminary certification will not become final.

H. Owners of properties that have received preliminary certifications may apply for certification of rehabilitation projects, as specified in 17VAC10-30-50. Final certifications of rehabilitations will be issued only for certified historic structures.

I. A request for certification of historic significance may be submitted by an applicant who is not the owner of the property in question. In such cases, the applicant shall include a signed statement from the owner acknowledging the request for certification.

J. The Department of Historic Resources discourages the moving of historic buildings from their original sites. Under certain circumstances the relocation of historic buildings may be part of a historic rehabilitation project that can be certified. Building owners are advised that the relocation of a building that is listed in on the Virginia Landmarks Register may result in removal of the building from the Register. The relocation of a building that has been determined eligible for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register may result in the loss of its eligibility. The relocation of a historic building into, from, or within a historic district or to or from an individual property listed in on the Virginia Landmarks Register, or that has been found eligible for listing, may result in removal of the district or property from the Register, loss of the eligibility of the district or property, or loss of the moved building's contributing status within the district or as part of the property. For historic rehabilitation projects involving moved buildings, the following procedures apply:

1. When a building is to be moved as part of a historic rehabilitation project for which certification is sought, the owner shall contact the department prior to moving the building, and shall follow procedures specified by the department. It is recommended that the owner receive approval of the relocation plan by the department prior to relocation of the building, as improper relocation may result in denial of certification for the project. When a building is moved, every effort should be made to reestablish its historic orientation, immediate setting, and general environment. In certain special cases, when there is adequate documentation about the building before its relocation and about the moving process, it may be possible to certify historic rehabilitation projects involving moved buildings when participation of the department prior to the move did not occur. However, this approach is not recommended, and owners pursue it at their own risk.

2. For individual properties and properties in historic districts not listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register or not previously found eligible for listing, prior to the move the owner shall submit Part 1 of the historic rehabilitation application Historic Preservation Certification Application to the department, according to subsections C, F, and G of this section.

3. For individual properties and properties in historic districts listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register or found eligible for listing, prior to the move the owner shall submit documentation to the department to determine whether the move is likely to result in the loss of listing or loss of eligibility for listing. Guidance on the type of documentation required can be obtained from the department.

4. Following the relocation of the building and its installation on a new site, reevaluation of the building will be necessary prior to rehabilitation to determine whether it can become is a certified historic structure. The owner shall submit Part 1 of the historic rehabilitation application Historic Preservation Certification Application to the department, according to subsections C, F, and G of this section, presenting information about the building in its new location.

5. The relocation of a historic building into, from, or within a listed or eligible historic district, or to or from an individually listed or eligible property, may result in alterations to the boundary definitions of the district or property, and will change the inventory of buildings in the district or on the individual property. The applicant owner applying for certification of the historic rehabilitation project involving building relocation will be responsible for amending the district or property information and nomination accordingly, following guidance provided by the department.

17VAC10-30-40. Standards for evaluating significance within registered historic districts.

A. Some properties listed in on the Virginia Landmarks Register, primarily historic districts, are resources whose concentration or continuity possesses greater historical significance than many of their individual component buildings and structures. These usually are documented as a group rather than individually. Accordingly, this type of documentation is not conclusive for the purposes of this part. The applicant owner shall supplement this documentation using Part 1 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application, providing information on the significance of the specific property, as set forth in 17VAC10-30-30 C.

B. The Department of Historic Resources evaluates properties located within registered historic districts to determine if they contribute to the historic significance of the district by applying the following standards:

1. A property contributing to the historic significance of a district is one which that by location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association adds to the district's sense of time and place and historical development.

2. A property not contributing to the historic significance of a district is one that does not add to the district's sense of time and place and historical development;, or one where the location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association have been so altered or have so deteriorated that the overall integrity of the building has been irretrievably lost.

3. Ordinarily buildings that have been built within the past 50 years shall not be considered to contribute to the significance of a district unless a strong justification concerning their historical or architectural merit is given or the historical attributes of the district are considered to be less than 50 years old.

C. Certifications of significance will be made on the appearance and condition of the property before the beginning of the rehabilitation work.

D. If a nonhistoric surface material obscures a building's facade, it may be necessary for the owner to remove all or a portion of the surface material before requesting certification so that a determination of significance can be made. After the material has been removed, if the obscured facade has retained substantial historic integrity and the property otherwise contributes to the significance of the historic district, it will be determined to be a certified historic structure.

17VAC10-30-50. Certifications of rehabilitation.

A. Applicants Owners requesting certification of rehabilitation projects shall comply with the procedures listed below described in this section. A fee, described in 17VAC10-30-80, is charged by the Department of Historic Resources for reviewing all proposed, ongoing, and completed rehabilitation work. No certification decisions shall be issued to any applicant owner until the appropriate remittance is received. Applicants Owners may request the department's review before, during, or after completion of a rehabilitation project. Applicants Owners are strongly encouraged to request the department's review before beginning a rehabilitation project. Though owners may begin work prior to review by the department, the department cannot guarantee in any way that such work will be certified for tax credits. Such work is undertaken at the risk of the owner.

1. To request review of a rehabilitation project, the project applicant owner shall submit Part 2 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application form, "Description of Rehabilitation," according to the instructions accompanying the application. Documentation, including photographs adequate to document the appearance of the structure, both on the interior and the exterior, and its site and environment before rehabilitation, shall accompany the application. Other documentation, including plans, specifications, and surveys, renderings, and sight-line studies, may be required to evaluate certain rehabilitation projects. In the event of any discrepancy between the application and other supplementary material submitted with it (such as architectural plans, drawings, and specifications), the application shall take precedence. Where If necessary documentation is not provided, and review and evaluation may are not be possible and, a denial of certification will be issued on the basis of lack of information. Because the circumstances of each rehabilitation project are unique, certifications that may have been granted to other rehabilitations are not specifically applicable and may not be relied on by applicants owners as applicable to other projects.

2. To request certification of a completed rehabilitation project, the applicant owner shall submit Part 3 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application, "Request for Certification of Completed Work," according to the instructions accompanying the application, and provide documentation that the completed project is consistent with the work described in Part 2. This documentation includes but is not limited to:

a. Name and mailing address or addresses of the owner or owners;

b. Name and address of the property;

c. Photographs Comprehensive photographs of the property showing the completed rehabilitation work, including exterior and interior features and spaces, sufficient to demonstrate that the completed work is consistent with the standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation;

d. Assessed value of the building in the year preceding the start of rehabilitation;

e. Final costs attributed to the rehabilitation work (see 17VAC10-30-110 for information on eligible expenses);

f. When rehabilitation expenses exceed $100,000, certification For a project with (i) rehabilitation expenses of $250,000 or greater, a report of an audit of the rehabilitation expenses by a an independent certified public accountant or equivalent of the actual costs attributed to the rehabilitation of the historic structure in accordance with the department's Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program Certification Requirements, dated January 2015; and or (ii) less than $250,000 in rehabilitation expenses, an agreed-upon procedures engagement report of the rehabilitation expenses by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with the department's Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program Certification Requirements, dated January 2015;

g. Signature of the applicant owner. By signing the application, the owner declares that the information stated is correct to the best of the owner's knowledge. Submission of false records or falsification of anything in communications with the department is grounds for denial of the certification of completed work and is punishable under Virginia law or federal law. The department shall submit any relevant information in its possession to the appropriate law-enforcement officials or governmental agencies as necessary; and

h. At the department's request, any additional information relevant to determining whether a project meets the requirements of the program. This includes the department's right to inspect the property upon reasonable notice.

B. Each rehabilitation project shall be done according to a plan of rehabilitation. Although the department has not set any formal requirements for a plan of rehabilitation, every plan shall include, at a minimum, the name of the owner of the property, the location of the property, and a description of the proposed, ongoing, or completed rehabilitation project. A plan of rehabilitation must provide the department with sufficient information to determine whether the rehabilitation qualifies for certification. The burden is on the applicant owner to supply sufficient information for the department to make a determination.

C. A rehabilitation project for certification purposes encompasses all work on the interior and exterior of the certified historic structure or structures and its site and environment, as well as related demolition, new construction or rehabilitation work that may affect the historic qualities, integrity, site, landscape features, and environment of the property.

1. All elements of the rehabilitation project shall be consistent with the standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation, as set forth in 17VAC10-30-60. Portions of a project that are not in conformance with the standards may not be exempted, and the department may require remediation as a condition to receiving a certification of completed work. In general, an applicant owner undertaking a rehabilitation project will not be held responsible for prior rehabilitation work not part of the current project, as long as it was done in good faith (without intent to circumvent the requirements set forth in this chapter or otherwise defraud the Commonwealth) and at least five years prior to submitting an application. Such prior work will not be considered done in good faith if the owner has received historic rehabilitation tax credits under Virginia's program in the past five years. Owners will not be held responsible for work or rehabilitation work that was undertaken by previous owners, as long as the previous owner is not a related party.

2. Conformance to with the standards will be determined on the basis of the application documentation and other available information by evaluating, which may include physical inspection of the property by the department, evaluation of the property as it existed before the beginning of the rehabilitation project, and its condition at the completion of the rehabilitation.

3. If the legal boundaries of the property change after the owner submits the Part 1 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application, this information must be disclosed to the department in writing. The disclosure must describe the change in the property boundaries and the relationships, if any, between the owner of the property and the owners of adjacent properties. Situations involving a related party between the owner of the property for which rehabilitation tax credits are sought and an owner of adjacent property may require an expanded scope of review by the department.

D. The department, on receipt of the complete application describing the rehabilitation project, shall determine if the project is consistent with the standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation. If the project does not meet the standards, the department shall advise the applicant owner of that fact in writing. Where possible, the department will advise the project applicant owner of necessary revisions to meet the standards.

E. Once a proposed or ongoing project plan of rehabilitation has been approved certified, substantive changes in the work as described in the application shall be brought promptly to the attention of the department by written statement to ensure continued conformance to the standards Standards for Rehabilitation. The owner shall describe the change on the "Continuation/Amendment Sheet" of the Historic Preservation Certification Application and include relevant documentation for evaluation by the department. The department strongly recommends receiving certification of changes before commencing such work. Any work that does not conform to the plan of rehabilitation as certified by the department is at the owner's own risk, as changes that are not consistent with the standards may cause the entire project to be denied certification. After Part 3 of the application has been submitted, only essential corrections to the application may be made. The department may consider amendments to correct information within one year of the issuance of the certification of completed work, if justified.

F. An authorized representative of the department may inspect projects to determine if the work meets the standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation and is consistent with any information the owner supplied to the department, including whether the actual work completed is consistent with the costs reported. The department reserves the right to make inspections at any time up to three years after completion certification of the completed rehabilitation and to revoke a certification, after giving the applicant owner 30 days to comment on the matter, if it is determined that the rehabilitation project was not undertaken as represented in the application and supporting documentation. If the department discovers a material error of fact or misrepresentation in the information submitted for certification, the owner must address the issue within 60 calendar days of written notice by the department to avoid revocation of certification. The department may investigate any project where it reasonably suspects fraud or misrepresentation, regardless of the time that may have passed since certification of completed rehabilitation. The tax consequences of a revocation of certification will be determined by the Department of Taxation. However, certification shall not be revoked for changes that are determined to have been made following good-faith completion of the project.

17VAC10-30-60. Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation.

A. The standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation are the criteria used to determine if a rehabilitation project qualifies as a certified historic rehabilitation. The intent of the standards is to promote the long-term preservation of a property's significance through the preservation of historic materials and features. The standards pertain to historic buildings of all materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the exterior and the interior of historic buildings. The standards also encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment, as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. To be certified, a rehabilitation project shall be determined by the Department of Historic Resources to be consistent with the historic character of the structure or structures and, where applicable, the district in which it is located.

B. The standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation shall be applied to specific rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner, taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility.

1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.

2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.

3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.

4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.

5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved.

6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature should match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing architectural features must be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.

7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.

8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If these resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.

9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.

10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

C. The quality of materials, craftsmanship, and related new construction in a rehabilitation project should be commensurate with the quality of materials, craftsmanship, and design of the historic structure in question. Certain treatments, if improperly applied, or certain materials by their physical properties, may cause or accelerate physical deterioration of historic buildings. Inappropriate rehabilitation measures include, but are not limited to: improper masonry repointing techniques;, improper exterior masonry cleaning methods;, improper introduction of insulation where damage to historic fabric would result;, and incompatible additions and new construction on historic properties. In almost all situations, these measures and treatments will result in denial of certification.

D. In certain limited cases, it may be necessary to dismantle and rebuild portions of a certified historic structure to stabilize and repair weakened structural members and systems. In these cases, the Department of Historic Resources will consider this extreme intervention as part of a certified historic rehabilitation if:

1. The necessity for dismantling is justified in supporting documentation;

2. Significant architectural features and overall design are retained; and

3. Adequate historic materials are retained to maintain the architectural and historic integrity of the overall structure.

E. The qualities of a property and its environment which that qualify it as a certified historic structure are determined taking into account all available information, including information derived from the physical and architectural attributes of the building; these determinations are not limited to information contained in the Virginia Landmarks Register nomination reports.

17VAC10-30-70. Appeals.

A. A project applicant owner may appeal any denial of certification. A request for an appeal shall be made in writing to the Director of the Department of Historic Resources, 2801 Kensington Avenue, Richmond, Virginia 23221, within 60 days of receipt of the decision that is the subject of the appeal. It is not necessary for the applicant owner to present arguments for overturning a decision within this 60-day period. The applicant owner may request an opportunity to meet with the director, but all information that the applicant owner wishes the director to consider shall be in writing. The director shall consider the record of the decision in question, any further written submissions by the applicant owner, and other available information, and may consult with experts or others as appropriate. The director shall provide the applicant owner a written decision as promptly as circumstances permit. The appeal process is an administrative review of decisions made by the department; it is not an adjudicative proceeding.

B. In considering appeals, the director may take into account new information not previously available or submitted; alleged errors in professional judgment; or alleged prejudicial procedural errors. The director's decision may:

1. Reverse the appealed decision;

2. Affirm the appealed decision; or

3. Resubmit the matter to the department program staff for further consideration.

C. The decision of the director shall be the final administrative decision on the appeal. No person shall be considered to have exhausted his administrative remedies with respect to the certifications or decisions described in this part until the director has issued a final administrative decision in response to this section.

Payment of fees for expedited review shall be submitted with the request for expedited review, and review shall not commence until such fee is paid. Fees are nonrefundable, except in cases where the request for expedited review is refused.

D. In general, each rehabilitation of a separate certified historic structure will be considered a separate project for purposes of computing the size of the fee. Phased projects incur separate Part 3 fees for each phase.

17VAC10-30-90. Forms.

Applications To apply for certifications of buildings and rehabilitation projects are made with the, an owner shall complete and submit the Historic Preservation Certification Application, prepared by to the Department of Historic Resources. The forms are available from the department and on the department's website.

17VAC10-30-100. Definition of rehabilitation project.

A. A certified historic structure shall be treated as having been materially rehabilitated only if the eligible rehabilitation expenses (as defined in 17VAC10-30-110) incurred in a 24-month period selected by the taxpayer ending with or within the completion year shall equal or exceed 50% of the assessed value of the building for local real estate tax purposes, determined for the year before the start of rehabilitation, unless the building is an owner-occupied building, in which case the eligible rehabilitation expenses shall amount to at least 25% of the assessed value of the building for local real estate tax purposes for the year before the start of rehabilitation.

B. In the case of any rehabilitation that may reasonably be expected to be completed in phases set forth in a plan of rehabilitation submitted contemporaneously with the Description of Rehabilitation, subsection A of this section shall be applied by substituting "60-month period" for "24-month period." A rehabilitation may reasonably be expected to be completed in phases if it consists of two or more distinct stages of development. The department may review each phase as it is presented, but a phased project cannot be designated a certified rehabilitation until all of the phases are completed. The applicant owner may elect to claim the credit allowable for each completed phase of a phased project, upon receipt from the department of written approval certification of the work completed for each phase. Any such initial claims will be contingent upon final certification of the completed project.

C. In the case of properties containing more than one building for which tax credits are sought, the work at each building must constitute a material rehabilitation, according to subsection A of this section. The review fees will be charged according to the overall cost of the project. Buildings that are physically connected but that were not historically or functionally related, such as a duplex or rowhouse, shall qualify as separate certified historic structures, regardless of ownership, for the purposes of this program.

17VAC10-30-110. Eligible rehabilitation expenses.

A. Eligible rehabilitation expenses are those expenses incurred by a taxpayer in connection with a plan of rehabilitation on or after January 1, 1997 2003, in the material rehabilitation of a certified historic structure and added to the property's capital account.

B. Once the material rehabilitation test is met, the eligible rehabilitation expenses upon which a credit can be claimed include:

1. Expenses incurred prior to the start of the 24-month measuring period as defined in 17VAC10-30-100 A, provided that the expenses were incurred in connection with the rehabilitation process plan that resulted in the material rehabilitation of the building;

2. Within the measuring period as defined in 17VAC10-30-100 A; and

3. After the end of the measuring period as defined in 17VAC10-30-100 A but prior to the completion of the project.

C. Amounts are properly chargeable to the capital account if they are properly includable in computing the basis of real property under U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Code, Reg. § 26 CFR 1.46-3(c). Amounts treated as an expense and deducted in the year paid or incurred or amounts that are otherwise not added to the basis of real property do not qualify. Amounts incurred for historic preservation consultant fees, architectural and engineering fees, certain site fees, and other construction-related costs that are added to the basis of real property satisfy this requirement.

D. Certain expenses are not eligible rehabilitation expenses. These expenses are:

1. The cost of acquiring a building, any interest in a building (including a leasehold interest) or land. Interest incurred on a construction loan the proceeds of which are used for eligible rehabilitation expenditures (and which is added to the basis of the property) is not treated as a cost of acquisition.

2. Landscaping.

3. Site work, including the construction or repair of parking lots, sidewalks, curbing, walls, fencing, pools, patios, etc., except that the cost of certain site work that is part of, and integral to, the building's systems, such as plumbing, mechanical, and electrical, may qualify.

4. Any expense attributable to an enlargement of a building.

a. A building is enlarged to the extent that the total volume of the building is increased. An increase in floor space resulting from interior remodeling is not considered an enlargement.

b. If expenditures only partially qualify as eligible rehabilitation expenditures because some of the expenditures are attributable to the enlargement of the building, the expenditures must be apportioned between the original portion of the building and the enlargement. The expenditures must be specifically allocated between the original portion of the building and the enlargement to the extent possible. If it is not possible to make a specific allocation of the expenditures, the expenditures must be allocated to each portion on a reasonable basis. The determination of a reasonable basis for an allocation depends on factors such as the type of improvement and how the improvement relates functionally to the building.

Example: A historic rehabilitation project includes a new rear wing. A new air-conditioning system and a new roof are installed on the building. A reasonable basis for allocating the expenditures among the two portions generally would be the volume of the historic building (excluding the new wing), served by the air-conditioning system or the roof, relative to the volume of the new wing that is served by the air-conditioning system and the roof.

3. 5. Any expense attributable to the rehabilitation of a certified historic structure, or a building located in a registered historic district, which that is not a certified rehabilitation.

4. 6. Any expense incurred before January 1, 1997 2003.

5. 7. Any expense not incurred by a taxpayer, including expenses incurred by a local government or any agency thereof, or by any agency, unit, or instrumentality of the Commonwealth.

6. 8. Any rehabilitation expense financed, directly or indirectly, by an obligation of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

9. Any expense paid with insurance or indemnity payments received as a result of a property casualty loss of the property being rehabilitated.

10. Any expense related to personal property or nonessential equipment. Examples include, but are not limited to, removable cabinets, appliances, trade fixtures, and electronic and technology equipment that is not essential for the rehabilitation and basic function of the building, regardless of the specific use of the building.

11. All costs associated with syndication of the tax credits. This includes legal and other business fees related to syndication.

12. Deferred fees or unpaid costs for which there is no charge to a capital account with a corresponding recorded entry to a liability account and either proof of subsequent payment thereof or appropriate documentation evidencing the liability.

E. The taxpayer may take into account eligible rehabilitation expenses created in connection with the same plan of rehabilitation by any other entity with an interest in the building. Where eligible rehabilitation expenses are created with respect to a building by an entity other than the taxpayer and the taxpayer acquires the building or a portion of the building to which the expenses were allocable, the taxpayer acquiring such property will be treated as having incurred the eligible rehabilitation expenses actually created by the transferor, provided that no credit with respect to such qualified rehabilitation expenses is claimed by anyone other than the taxpayer acquiring the property and that the building has not been placed into service prior to the taxpayer's acquisition of the building.

F. A taxpayer who has incurred eligible rehabilitation expenses may elect to treat a tenant or tenants as having incurred these rehabilitation expenses, provided that the lease is for a term of at least five years. This election shall be made on the application for the certification of rehabilitation. For purposes of testing whether a rehabilitation is material, all eligible rehabilitation expenses will be counted. In the event the election is made to treat multiple tenants as having incurred rehabilitation expenses, the allocation of eligible rehabilitation expenses to these tenants shall be made in accordance with the relative square footage occupied by the tenants or the relative amounts of eligible rehabilitation expenses spent in connection with each tenant's space. Eligible rehabilitation expenses that are not readily allocable by specific space shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the allocation method chosen.

17VAC10-30-120. Qualification for credit.

Credits against tax shall be available for the material rehabilitation of a certified historic structure. Material rehabilitation means improvements or reconstruction consistent with the standards Standards for rehabilitation Rehabilitation, the cost of which amounts to at least 50% of the assessed value of the buildings for local real estate tax purposes for the year before the start of rehabilitation, unless the building is an owner-occupied building, in which case the cost shall amount to at least 25% of the assessed value of such building for local real estate tax purposes for the year before such rehabilitation expenses were incurred. An owner-occupied building is any building, at least 75% of which is used as a personal residence by the owner, or which is available for occupancy by the owner for at least 75% of the year. The assessed value of the building for local real estate tax purposes does not include any assessment for land. The determination of whether a rehabilitation has been material shall be made at the entity level, not at the partner or shareholder level.

Ex. Example 1. Certified historic structure has a 1996 2012 tax assessment of $20,000 for the land, $80,000 for the building; and a 1997 2013 assessment of $20,000 for the land, $70,000 for the building. Taxpayer submits a plan of rehabilitation on December 1, 1997 2013. Taxpayer applies for a building permit for work to be done in accordance with the plan of rehabilitation on December 15, 1997 2013. Taxpayer incurs eligible rehabilitation expenses in the amount of $37,500 pursuant to the plan of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is completed in 1999 2015. Taxpayer is not entitled to a tax credit because taxpayer's eligible rehabilitation expenses ($37,500) do not exceed 50% of the assessed value of the building in the year prior to the start of rehabilitation ($40,000).

Ex. Example 2. Same facts as above, except taxpayer applies for the building permit on January 2, 1998 2014. Eligible rehabilitation expenses ($37,500) exceed 50% of the assessed value of the building in the year prior to the start of rehabilitation ($35,000). Therefore, taxpayer is entitled to a credit of 20% (for completion in 1999 2015) of $37,500.

17VAC10-30-130. Amount and timing of credit.

A. The amount of the credit shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of eligible rehabilitation expenses incurred in connection with the plan of rehabilitation by 25%. Eligible rehabilitation expenses may include expenses in connection with the rehabilitation that were incurred prior to the start of rehabilitation. Further, eligible rehabilitation expenses may include expenses incurred prior to completion of a formal plan of rehabilitation provided the expenses were incurred in connection with the rehabilitation that was completed.

B. Complete, adequately documented Historic Preservation Certification Application forms must be received by the department within one year after the final expense is incurred or the final certificate of occupancy (if appropriate) is issued completion date. Properties that do not meet the criteria for individual listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register must be located in registered historic districts by such date. Taxpayers are cautioned, however, that if Parts 1 and 2 of the Historic Preservation Certification Application forms are not submitted prior to beginning work on the rehabilitation, they proceed with the project at the risk that the building or the rehabilitation project will not be certified.

17VAC10-30-140. Entitlement to credit.

A. Effective for taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 1997, any individual, trust or estate, or corporation incurring eligible expenses in the rehabilitation of a certified historic structure shall be entitled to a credit against tax in the manner and amount set forth in these regulations. Credits granted to a partnership, electing small business corporation (S corporation), or limited liability company shall be passed through to the partners or shareholders, respectively. Credits granted to a partnership, electing small business corporation (S corporation), or limited liability company shall be allocated among partners or shareholders, respectively, either in proportion to their ownership interest in such entity or as the partners or shareholders mutually agree.

The members, partners or shareholders at the end of the taxable year in which there is an entitlement to credit shall be allocated the state rehabilitation tax credits for which a project is certified.

B. The Department of Historic Resources shall certify the amount of eligible rehabilitation expenses. The certification shall consist of a letter signed by an authorized representative of the department confirming that the rehabilitated property is a certified historic structure and that the rehabilitation is a certified historic rehabilitation, and shall specify the amount of eligible rehabilitation expenses, based on the Request for Certification of Completed Work form. The department's certification shall make reference to any partnership, S corporation, or limited liability company allocation document, as defined in subsection A of this section. A person with an interest in the property who materially rehabilitates a certified historic structure may apply for a certificate of material rehabilitation. Persons with an interest in the property include those individuals or entities that have a possessory interest in the property. The application for issuance certification of a certificate project shall set forth the name of the individual or entity that will utilize entitled to the credit on its tax return. The taxpayer shall attach the certificate letter of certification to the Virginia tax return on which the credit is claimed.

C. If the amount of the credit exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability for such taxable year, the amount that exceeds the tax liability may be carried over for credit against the income taxes of such taxpayer for the next ten 10 taxable years or until the full credit is used, whichever occurs first. For purposes of passthrough pass-through entities (e.g., general and limited partnerships, limited liability companies, S corporations) this paragraph shall be applied to the partners, members or shareholders, as applicable.

17VAC10-30-150. Transition rules for projects Projects begun before 1997 2003.

A. Rehabilitation expenses incurred before January 1, 1997 2003, do not qualify for a rehabilitation tax credit and will not be considered part of the rehabilitation project for which owner seeks tax credits.

B. Applicants whose rehabilitation projects commenced before 1997, but were not completed until after January 1, 1997, may apply for certification of their rehabilitation work, in accordance with the provisions of 17VAC10-30-20, 17VAC10-30-30, and 17VAC10-30-50. In these cases, the tax credit is calculated as the appropriate percentage of expenses incurred on or after January 1, 1997.

C. For projects begun before January 1, 1997, the material rehabilitation test shall be determined by the entire project, rather than by those parts of the work completed on or after January 1, 1997.

17VAC10-30-160. Coordination with the federal certified historic rehabilitation program.

A. Certifications of properties and rehabilitation projects by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, under Federal Law 36 CFR Part 67, are not equivalent to certification of properties and rehabilitation projects by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources under § 58.1-339.2 of the Code of Virginia, except as provided in subsection B of this section. Taxpayers are cautioned that deadlines and requirements for certifications under these state regulations may differ from deadlines and requirements for certifications under the federal program.

B. Certifications of historic significance of properties (Part 1, Historic Preservation Certification Application) by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, dated after January 1, 1995, shall be accepted as equivalent of certification of historic significance by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources under the provisions of 17VAC10-30-20.

C. Approval under one program does not necessarily mean the project will be approved by the other.

TITLE 18. PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING
VIRGINIA BOARD FOR ASBESTOS, LEAD, AND HOME INSPECTORS
Proposed Regulation

Title of Regulation: 18VAC15-30. Virginia Lead-Based Paint Activities Regulations (amending 18VAC15-30-161).

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-201 and 54.1-501 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Hearing Information:

February 26, 2015 - 10 a.m. - Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, 9960 Mayland Drive, Suite 200, Richmond, Virginia 23233

Public Comment Deadline: April 10, 2015.

Agency Contact: Trisha Henshaw, Executive Director, Virginia Board for Asbestos, Lead, and Home Inspectors, 9960 Mayland Drive, Suite 400, Richmond, VA 23233, telephone (804) 367-8595, FAX (866) 350-5354, or email alhi@dpor.virginia.gov.

Basis: Section 54.1-201 of the Code of Virginia authorizes the Virginia Board for Asbestos, Lead, and Home Inspectors to promulgate regulations in accordance with the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq. of the Code of Virginia) necessary to assure continued competency, prevent deceptive or misleading practices by practitioners, and effectively administer the regulatory system administered by the regulatory board.

Section 54.1-501 of the Code of Virginia authorizes the board to promulgate regulations for the licensure of lead professionals and firms, approval of accredited lead training programs, and approval of criteria for accredited lead training programs.

Purpose: The ability to competitively negotiate and procure contracts for the examination administration of the lead program is a critical component of the application process. The current examination cap of $75 has been in place since October 1, 1995, the original effective date of the regulations. Due in part to the small number of candidates for lead examinations (approximately 80 per year), the increased security requirements necessary to ensure examination content is not compromised, the ability to procure services that allow maximum offerings (geographic and multi-day availability), and overall changes in the economy, the costs associated with administering examinations have increased. The current examination cap inhibits the board's ability to competitively negotiate examination services because some vendors will not submit proposals due to the extensive limitation of the examination cap and recent proposal submittals indicate the current examination cap is unrealistic. Third-party vendors who develop and administer examinations cannot provide an effective, secure examination for $75. The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation strictly adheres to the competitive negotiation process in the Virginia Public Procurement Act (§ 2.2-4300 et seq. of the Code of Virginia), and the department negotiates to ensure fees remain reasonable for candidates while ensuring all examination administration needs are met. Increasing the examination cap is essential to cover the current cost of the examination as well as to ensure receiving proposals from vendors in the future for these services.

The most recent examination services procurement process affirms the necessity to make this change based on the above factors as no proposals could comply with the current examination cap. There is a separate regulatory action in process to adjust the board's fees pursuant to § 54.1-113 of the Code of Virginia to ensure that revenues are sufficient but not excessive to cover its ongoing operating expenses. Without the proposed fee increases, the board will incur a deficit by the end of the 2012-2014 biennium and the department will not collect adequate revenue to pay for operations. The additional examination costs the board will need to absorb due to the limitation of the examination fee cap will further compound the board's financial position.

The purpose of the lead examination is to ensure minimum competency of those who perform lead abatement activities, which is critical to reducing the risk of lead exposure to the public, particularly children. In order to establish minimum competency of individuals and businesses performing abatement activities and protect the public health, safety, and welfare, a valid, comprehensive, psychometrically sound examination is essential.

Substance: The board proposes amending 18VAC15-30-161 C to increase the maximum cost of the examination to the candidate to reflect the $150 maximum amount of the current exam vendor contract. All future examination service contracts shall continue to be established through the competitive negotiation process pursuant to the Virginia Public Procurement Act (§ 2.2-4300 et seq. of the Code of Virginia). Examination candidates will be required to pay for the actual cost of the examination, not to exceed the maximum of $150, which has been competitively negotiated and bargained for by the department and is subject to contracted charges.

Issues: The advantage of this action to the board's regulants, that is, the public, is that there is less risk of a significant increase in application or renewal fees due to the board having to absorb the additional cost of each examination. Without raising the exam cap, the board would be forced to increase applications and other licensing fees in order to ensure that its revenue is sufficient to cover its expenses in accordance with the Callahan Act (§ 54.1-113 of the Code of Virginia), which must ultimately be paid by the board's regulants. There are no disadvantages to the public or the agency.

Department of Planning and Budget's Economic Impact Analysis:

Summary of the Proposed Amendments to Regulation. The proposed change will allow the Board for Asbestos, Lead and Home Inspectors (the Board) to charge more than $75 to a candidate taking the lead licensure examination.

Result of Analysis. The benefits likely exceed the costs for all proposed changes.

Estimated Economic Impact. Current regulation contains a $75 exam fee cap that prevents the Board from passing on the actual cost of the lead licensure test to candidates taking the exam. According to the Department of Professional Occupational Regulation (DPOR), this cap has been in place since 1995 and is no longer reflective of the actual costs of the test. In 2013, DPOR was unable to procure a third party vendor to administer the test for $75 or less. In fact, DPOR contracted with a vendor after a competitive negotiation process in accordance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act for $150 per test. Since the Board cannot collect more than $75 from candidates, the Board has been paying for the remaining $75 from its own budget. Without the proposed removal of the cap, the Board will continue to incur deficits from administering its licensure examinations. In the first three months of 2014, the Board administered 15 lead examinations. For these examinations, the Board paid $2,250 to the vendor but collected only $1,125 from candidates, resulting in a deficit of $1,125 from this activity.

The Board proposes to remove the current $75 exam fee cap so as to be able to adjust the exam fee in accordance with the competitively negotiated contract. The proposed language would allow the Board, for example, to charge $150 to a candidate currently taking the exam.

The proposed change is expected to help the Board collect the revenues it needs to support the administration of its exam while imposing additional costs on individuals taking the exam. In addition, since this change will allow the Board to pass on the true exam costs to candidates who are taking the exam as opposed to using its revenues from elsewhere to finance this particular activity, an improvement in the allocative efficiency of the Board's resources may be expected. For example, an exam fee less than the actual cost is likely to result in more candidates taking the exam than the optimal number of candidates. Conversely, if the Board is using, let's say, renewal fees to finance its deficiency from the initial licensure exam, fewer than the optimal number of renewal applications would be expected. In short, the proposed change would allow the Board to charge fees for services commensurate with their true costs and achieve a more efficient allocation of the Board's resources.

Businesses and Entities Affected. The proposed change will primarily affect the Board and candidates taking the lead licensure exam. Approximately, 80 individuals take the test per year.

Localities Particularly Affected. The regulation is not expected to affect any locality more than others.

Projected Impact on Employment. While the proposed change will moderately increase costs associated with becoming a lead professional, it is unlikely to significantly affect employment.

Effects on the Use and Value of Private Property. While the proposed change will moderately increase costs associated with becoming a lead professional and have a negative impact on their profitability and asset values, it is unlikely to be significant. Conversely, increased revenues from initial exam candidates would reduce the need to finance the exam cost from other regulants and may have a small positive impact on them.

Small Businesses: Costs and Other Effects. Most of the candidates taking the lead exam are expected to be affiliated with small businesses. The cost and other affects on small businesses are the same as discussed above.

Small Businesses: Alternative Method that Minimizes Adverse Impact. There is no known alternative that minimizes the small adverse impact expected.

Real Estate Development Costs. Since the proposed change will moderately increase costs associated with becoming a lead professional, there may be a very small increase in cost of renovating a building with lead paint.

Legal Mandate.

General: The Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) has analyzed the economic impact of this proposed regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4007.04 of the Code of Virginia and Executive Order Number 14 (2010). Section 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses determine the public benefits and costs of the proposed amendments. Further the report should include but not be limited to:

• the projected number of businesses or other entities to whom the proposed regulation would apply,

• the identity of any localities and types of businesses or other entities particularly affected,

• the projected number of persons and employment positions to be affected,

• the projected costs to affected businesses or entities to implement or comply with the regulation, and

• the impact on the use and value of private property.

Small Businesses: If the proposed regulation will have an adverse effect on small businesses, § 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include:

• an identification and estimate of the number of small businesses subject to the proposed regulation,

• the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other administrative costs required for small businesses to comply with the proposed regulation, including the type of professional skills necessary for preparing required reports and other documents,

• a statement of the probable effect of the proposed regulation on affected small businesses, and

• a description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the purpose of the proposed regulation.
