NOTICES OF INTENDED REGULATORY ACTION
Vol. 34 Iss. 22 - June 25, 2018

TITLE 22. SOCIAL SERVICES
Provision of Independent Living Rehabilitation Services
Withdrawal of Notice of Intended Regulatory Action

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) has WITHDRAWN the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action (NOIRA) for 22VAC30-30, Provision of Independent Living Rehabilitation Services, which was published in 34:6 VA.R. 591 November 13, 2017. On November 13, 2017, DARS published a NOIRA with a 30-day public comment period. The NOIRA was prompted by (i) a periodic review and (ii) the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. DARS concluded that changes are needed to the chapter but needs federal Administration for Community Living (ACL) guidance (per § 706(b) of WIOA) to determine specific changes. ACL has been granted an extension by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget for the guidance until the fall of 2018. DARS is withdrawing the NOIRA stage and will reinitiate a new NOIRA stage once the agency has the ACL guidance.
