TITLE 11. GAMING
                REGISTRAR'S NOTICE: The  Virginia Racing Commission is claiming an exemption from the Administrative  Process Act pursuant to § 2.2-4002 B 12 of the Code of Virginia, which  exempts agency action relating to instructions for application or renewal of a  license, certificate, or registration required by law.
         Title of Regulation: 11VAC10-60. Participants (amending 11VAC10-60-15). 
    Statutory Authority: § 59.1-369 of the Code of  Virginia.
    Effective Date: January 1, 2010. 
    Agency Contact: David S. Lermond, Jr., Regulatory  Coordinator, Virginia Racing Commission, 10700 Horsemen's Lane, New Kent, VA  23024, telephone (804) 966-7404, FAX (804) 966-7418, or email  david.lermond@vrc.virginia.gov.
    Background: The amendments allow the Virginia Racing  Commission to collect a higher fee for permits issued to the participants of  horse racing. The fee schedule has remained constant since the first Satellite  Wagering Facility began operation in 1996. A cost per permit issued analysis  was performed and it was determined that it costs the Virginia Racing  Commission $58.80 for each permit that is issued, which is down from $64.31 in  the prior year. It is the intent of the Virginia Racing Commission to increase  the amount charged for a permit and at the same time reduce our costs so that  the commission will break even on the issuance of permits in the future. The  increase in fees will make Virginia's fees consistent with that of the  surrounding jurisdictions.
    Summary:
    The amendments increase permit holder fees issued to  participants of horse racing.
