STATE BOARD OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the State Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services conducted a small business impact review of 12VAC35-180, Regulations to Assure the Protection of Subjects in Human Research, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The State Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is publishing its report of findings dated October 9, 2018, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

This regulation needs to remain in place to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the individuals involved in human research. There is no reason to delay the adoption of these changes by using the standard process; there were no comments received during the public comment period of the periodic review. The structure set out in the regulation is in accordance with other applicable federal and state laws and regulations. It is not legally possible to minimize compliance and reporting requirements. This type of research is rare in the behavioral health and developmental services system, and the framework within which the research can be conducted is narrow. Thus, the impact to the provider is negligible and the edits represent only existing statute or regulation.

Contact Information: Ruth Anne Walker, Regulatory Coordinator, Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, P.O. Box 1797, Richmond, VA 23218-1797, telephone (804) 225-2252, FAX (804) 786-8623, or email ruthanne.walker@dbhds.virginia.gov.

STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION

Bureau of Insurance

October 1, 2018

Administrative Letter 2018-06

TO: All Carriers Licensed to Market Credit Life Insurance or Credit Accident and Sickness Insurance in Virginia and Interested Parties

RE: Credit Life Insurance and Credit Accident and Sickness Insurance Premium Rates Effective January 1, 2019

This Administrative Letter Withdraws and Replaces Administrative Letter 2015-12.

On August 22, 2018, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the "Commission") issued an Order Adopting Adjusted Prima Facie Rates for the Triennium Commencing January 1, 2019, Case No. INS-2018-00030.  All insurers licensed to market credit life insurance or credit accident and sickness insurance in Virginia were mailed a copy of the Order and the adopted rates on August 24, 2018. Pursuant to § 38.2-3725 D and E of the Code of Virginia, the adjusted prima facie rates for the triennium commencing January 1, 2019 will remain in effect until January 1, 2022.

Each company marketing credit life insurance or credit accident and sickness insurance in Virginia must submit the rates and refund formulas applicable to the upcoming triennium to the Bureau for approval if its rates currently on file exceed the adjusted prima facie rates set forth in Case No. INS-2018-00030. Each filing should include the following information:

• The specific single premium and monthly outstanding balance (MOB) rates and rate formulas, and examples of the rate formulas;

• All refund formulas, including examples;

• Any other information required to document the development of the rates and refund formulas;

• The date of previously approved formulas;

• The form number to which each rate or formula will apply; and

• A description of the referenced forms.

A request for approval of a deviated premium rate or rates to be effective on or after January 1, 2019 may be included as part of the filing referenced above. It should be noted that previously approved deviated premium rates can only be used through December 31, 2018, in accordance with § 38.2-3728 C 1 of the Code of Virginia.

The filing requirement checklists for credit life insurance and credit accident and sickness insurance filings may be found on the Bureau's website at http://www.scc.virginia.gov/boi/co/health/lh_check.aspx.

My staff will review filings as promptly as possible; however, companies that delay making filings until after December 1, 2018 cannot be assured that our review will be completed by January 1, 2019. Any insurer with rates currently on file that exceed the adjusted prima facie rates set forth in Case No. INS-2018-00030 that has not received the Bureau's approval of its revised rates and refund formulas on or before January 1, 2019 must cease marketing credit life insurance or credit accident and sickness insurance in Virginia as of January 1, 2019 and must cease charging premiums for existing MOB contracts as of January 1, 2019 until such date that it has received the Commission's approval, as noted above.

Any questions with regards to any of the above matters should be directed to Amanda G. McCauley, Principal Insurance Market Examiner, Life and Health Division, State Corporation Commission, telephone (804) 371-0034, or email amanda.mccauley@scc.virginia.gov.

STATE BOARD OF SOCIAL SERVICES

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the State Board of Social Services conducted a small business impact review of 22VAC40-411, General Relief Program, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The State Board of Social Services is publishing its report of findings dated December 13, 2017, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

No comments were received during the periodic review. The regulation was last amended in July 2013, when certain components of the program were eliminated. Upon review, it was determined that this regulation remains necessary to protect the welfare of citizens who are in need of general relief assistance. However, the regulation omits critical information in the eligibility determination process, and therefore, it is necessary to amend the regulation. As this is a state and local program, there are no overarching federal regulations.

Contact Information: Monique Majeus, Senior Economic Assistance and Employment Consultant/TANF, Department of Social Services, 801 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 726-7940, FAX (804) 726-7357, or email monique.majeus@dss.virginia.gov.

VIRGINIA WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Virginia Waste Management Board conducted a small business impact review of 9VAC20-90, Solid Waste Management Permit Action Fees and Annual Fees, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Virginia Waste Management Board is publishing its report of findings dated October 1, 2018, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

The current regulation continues to be needed. This regulation is consistent with the requirements of state law and partially funds the oversight of permitted solid waste management facilities. There is no corresponding federal regulation concerning the assessment of a solid waste permit application or the assessment of solid waste permit oversight fees. No public comments were received during the periodic review comment period. The regulation details the fees for permit actions as well as annual permit fees. The regulation may be viewed as complex by some readers since it details the adjustment by the consumer price index (inflation); however, the agency calculates the adjusted fees and amount due from the permit holder as part of the annual billing process. This regulation was last amended in 2013 in response to changes in state law.

Businesses that undertake activities requiring a solid waste management permit are subject to this regulation. Some fees are based on the amount of time to issue a permit action. Other fees are based on the amount of waste material managed. Small businesses generally manage less waste than businesses that are not small businesses and therefore would be subject to smaller annual fees than larger businesses.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Virginia Waste Management Board conducted a small business impact review of 9VAC20-170, Transportation of Solid and Medical Wastes on State Waters, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Virginia Waste Management Board is publishing its report of findings dated October 1, 2018, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

The primary goal of this regulation is to protect the environment from discharges of solid wastes, regulated medical wastes, and municipal and industrial sludge from vessels transporting these wastes on state waters. The regulation contains specific container standards that must be met to transport these wastes. These requirements are continued to be needed to protect the environment from spills of these wastes that may occur during the transportation of these wastes. No comments were received during the public comment period for this periodic review. Due to the testing requirements for containers, the regulation is very specific concerning standards containers must meet prior to transportation of wastes on state waters. The standards included in the regulation make the regulation appear to be complex and technical; however, the regulated community is accustomed to implementing and using technical container standards in everyday practice. There are no applicable federal requirements for waste to be containerized to be transported on state waters.

The regulation was originally adopted in November of 2003. The regulation was amended in 2006, 2010, 2011, and 2012. The agency believes the regulation should not be amended or repealed to minimize the economic impact of the regulation on small businesses. The standards for transporting solid waste on Virginia waterways are necessary to protect Virginia waterways from the release of waste into state waters, and the regulation is consistent with the requirements of state law.

Public Meeting and Public Comment for Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Blacks Run and Cooks Creek Watersheds

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host a public meeting for the modification of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the Blacks Run and Cooks Creek watersheds in Rockingham County, the Town of Bridgewater, and the City of Harrisonburg. The meeting will be held on November 28, 2018, at 1:30 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Quality, Valley Regional Office, 3000 Early Road, Harrisonburg, VA 22801.

Blacks Run and Cooks Creek were first listed as impaired on Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria and the general standard (benthics) in 1998. The creeks have remained on the § 303(d) list for these impairments since then. A stressor analysis conducted by DEQ for both creeks indicated that sediment and phosphorous are the primary stressors responsible for the benthic impairment.

The impaired segment of Cooks Creek extends 13.32 miles from the headwaters downstream to its confluence with the North River. The impaired segment of Blacks Run extends 10.74 miles from its headwaters downstream to its confluence with Cooks Creek.

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. DEQ completed sediment, phosphorous, and bacteria TMDLs for Cooks Creek and Blacks Run in April 2002. The TMDLs were approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2004. The TMDL reports are available on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/programs/water

In order to address new and expanding discharges from permitted facilities in the watersheds since 2002, the TMDLs for these waterbodies required modification. This modification will ensure that discharge permits issued within the watersheds remain consistent with the wasteload allocations in the TMDLs. The modification process began in August of 2017. A public meeting was held on November 15, 2017, to present the draft TMDL study and initiate a 30-day public comment period on the modified study. Since this meeting, additional changes have been made to the TMDLs pertaining to the establishment of sediment and phosphorous wasteload allocations for industrial stormwater permitted facilities in the watersheds. The purpose of this public meeting is to share these modifications with the public and to initiate an additional public comment period on the revised wasteload allocations.

The public comment period will begin on November 29, 2018, and will end on December 28, 2018. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Nesha McRae, Department of Environmental Quality, Valley Regional Office, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7850, FAX (540) 574-7878, or email nesha.mcrae@deq.virginia.gov.
