GENERAL NOTICES/ERRATA
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES
Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-40, Rules and Regulations Governing the Prevention, Control and Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis in Virginia and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated September 8, 2014, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
As stated previously, this regulation is important for the beef and dairy cattle industries. Many beef and dairy farms, as well as the processing plants that process the cattle, are small businesses. Without the safeguards this regulation provides, these small businesses take on a great amount of risk. If our "bovine tuberculosis free status" is compromised, other states and countries will not purchase Virginia cattle, thereby putting these small businesses out of business. Without this regulation, the risk of that happening becomes significantly higher and that risk may greatly decrease Virginia's beef and cattle farms and the small businesses that rely on them. There have been no complaints from the public, and the regulation is necessarily uncomplicated. This regulation complements USDA's Tuberculosis Uniform Methods and Rules and 9 CFR Part 77. Tuberculosis testing protocols are prescribed by USDA in these documents, but have at times been interpreted to only apply to cattle moving interstate. Virginia's regulation makes it clear what is required for testing and reporting in Virginia, even if tested cattle are not traveling interstate. USDA is currently in the process of releasing a proposed Tuberculosis Rule, and based on that rule, it is anticipated that this regulation may need to be revised in the future. Since the last time this regulation was evaluated, there have not been significant changes in technology, economic conditions, or other factors.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-90, Control and Eradication of Pullorum Disease and Fowl Typhoid in Poultry Flocks and Hatcheries and Products Thereof in Virginia and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated September 12, 2014, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
Keeping this regulation as is will not have a significant negative impact on small businesses. There is a continued need for this regulation to stay in effect in order to protect poultry species and public health. If the regulation is not maintained, then the risk of pullorum disease and fowl typhoid could have a negative impact on small businesses and poultry producers who rely on poultry for the viability of their farms and businesses. This regulation is important for the poultry industry. There have been no complaints from the public and the regulation is necessarily uncomplicated. This regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or regulation. Since the last time this regulation was evaluated, there have not been significant changes in technology, economic conditions, or other factors.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-150, Rules and Regulations Governing the Transportation of Companion Animals and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated September 24, 2014, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
This regulation has minimal impact on small businesses. It establishes uniform and equitable requirements for the transportation of companion animals that do not place undue burdens on small versus large businesses. The agency has received no comments from small businesses that this regulation is burdensome. The regulation is not complex and complements federal regulations enacted pursuant to the federal Animal Welfare Act. This regulation is not outdated; no significant technological or economic developments have impacted the transportation of companion animals since the regulation was adopted.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-310, Rules and Regulations-Official Standards for Enforcement of the Virginia Apples: Grading, Packing, and Marking Law and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated October 6, 2014, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
The agency is recommending that the regulation should remain in effect without change. The agency did not receive any comments regarding the regulation during the comment period. The regulation does not duplicate any state or federal laws. The agency last conducted a periodic review of this regulation in 2009. The agency continues to believe the current regulation is the least burdensome and least intrusive alternative on the apple industry and small businesses.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-590, Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Tolerances and Prohibitions Applicable to Ground Beef and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated October 3, 2014, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
This regulation is still needed because it is still necessary to ensure that ground beef products are produced according to and meet minimum acceptable standards relative to product formulation and saturated fat content. It also ensures that consumers are duly informed via product labeling and placard displays regarding the fat content of ground beef products and allows consumers to make optimal health choices regarding the level of saturated fat consumed when ground beef products are purchased.
Without this regulation, it will be difficult to find other means by which to ensure that ground beef products meet acceptable standards. Federal regulations also exist that mandate a maximum fat content of 30% in ground beef products. However, these federal regulations are primarily enforced and policed at meat processing facilities. The subject regulation (2VAC5-590) is typically applied to ground beef products formulated and/or sold at retail food stores, enforced at that level, and creates specific production standards applicable to retail environments. Since the last time this regulation was evaluated, there have not been significant changes in technology, economic conditions, or other factors that would impact this regulation. This regulation was promulgated with due concerns for the industry and has minimal impact on small businesses. It is recommended that the regulation remain in place without modification. There have been no complaints received relative to this regulation.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
State Implementation Plan Proposed Revision - Public Comment Opportunity
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. The Commonwealth intends to submit the regulation to EPA as a revision to the SIP in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act.
Regulations affected: The regulation of the board affected by this action is the Regulation for General Administration, 9VAC5-170 (Revision F14).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether the regulation amendments should be submitted as a revision to the SIP.
Public comment period: November 17, 2014, through December 17, 2014.
Public hearing: A public hearing may be conducted if a request is made in writing to the contact listed below. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice, and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.
Public comment stage: The regulation amendments are exempt from the state administrative procedures for adoption of regulations contained in Article 2 (§ 2.2-4006 et seq.) of the Administrative Process Act by the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 4 c of the Administrative Process Act because they are necessary to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act and do not differ materially from the pertinent Act provisions. Since the amendments have been adopted and are exempt from administrative procedures for the adoption of regulations, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issue cited above under "purpose of notice" and not on the content of the regulation amendments.
Description of proposal: Section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) of the Clean Air Act requires that each applicable SIP provide requirements that the state comply with the requirements respecting state boards under § 128 of the Act. Subdivision (a)(1) of § 128 requires that each SIP contain requirements that any board or body that approves permits or enforcement orders under the Act shall have at least a majority of members who represent the public interest and do not derive any significant portion of their income from persons subject to permits or enforcement orders under the Act. In Virginia, this is addressed in § 10.1-1302 of the Code of Virginia. Subdivision (a)(2) of § 128 of the Act requires that any potential conflicts of interest by members of such board or body, or by the head of an executive agency with similar powers, be adequately disclosed. Because there are no provisions in the Air Pollution Control Law or the board's regulations that directly address § 128(a)(2) of the Act, the Virginia SIP must be amended to incorporate the requirements of § 128(a)(2); the mechanism for accomplishing this is through the Regulation for General Administration, which covers general administrative actions.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102) and not any provision of state law. The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. It is planned to submit all provisions of the proposal as a revision to the SIP with the exception of 9VAC5-170-210 B, which is set to become effective November 19, 2014.
How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. All materials received are part of the public record.
To review regulation documents: The proposal and any supporting document are available on the DEQ Air Public Notices for Plans website: http://www.deq.state.va.us/Programs/Air/PublicNotices/airplansandprograms.aspx. The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ representative named below. The public may review the documents between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. of each business day until the close of the public comment period at the following DEQ locations:

Beginning January 1, 2015, insurers are required to attach this revised Notice to policies or contracts delivered to policy or contract owners.

NOTICE OF
PROTECTION PROVIDED BY
VIRGINIA LIFE, ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS
INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION
This notice provides a brief summary of the Virginia Life, Accident and Sickness Insurance Guaranty Association ("the Association") and the protection it provides for policyholders. This safety net was created under Virginia law, which determines who and what is covered and the amounts of coverage.
The Association was established to provide protection in the unlikely event that a life, annuity or health insurance company licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia becomes financially unable to meet its obligations and is taken over by its Insurance Department. If this should happen, the Association will typically arrange to continue coverage and pay claims, in accordance with Virginia law, with funding from assessments paid by other life and health insurance companies licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The basic protections provided by the Association are:
• Life Insurance
o $300,000 in death benefits
o $100,000 in cash surrender or withdrawal values
• Health Insurance
o $500,000 in hospital, medical and surgical insurance benefits
o $300,000 in disability [income] insurance benefits
o $300,000 in long-term care insurance benefits
o $100,000 in other types of health insurance benefits
• Annuities
o $250,000 in withdrawal and cash values
The maximum amount of protection for each individual, regardless of the number of policies or contracts, is $350,000, except for hospital, medical and surgical insurance benefits, for which the limit is increased to $500,000.
Note: Certain policies and contracts may not be covered or fully covered. For example, coverage does not extend to any portion(s) of a policy or contract that the insurer does not guarantee, such as certain investment additions to the account value of a variable life insurance policy or a variable annuity contract. There are also various residency requirements and other limitations under Virginia law.
To learn more about the above protections, please visit the Association's website at www.valifega.org or contact: Virginia Life, Accident and Sickness, Insurance Guaranty Association, c/o APM Management Services, Inc., 1503 Santa Rosa Road, Suite 101, Henrico, VA 23229-5105, telephone (804) 282-2240.

Insurance companies and agents are not allowed by Virginia law to use the existence of the Association or its coverage to encourage you to purchase any form of insurance. When selecting an insurance company, you should not rely on Association coverage. If there is any inconsistency between this notice and Virginia law, then Virginia law will control.

BOARD OF PHARMACY
Notice of Public Hearing for Scheduling Certain Substances
Pursuant to subsection D of § 54.1-3443 of the Code of Virginia, the Board of Pharmacy is giving notice of a public hearing to consider placement of chemical substances in Schedule I of the Drug Control Act. The public hearing will be conducted at 9 a.m. on December 9, 2014, at the Perimeter Center, 9960 Mayland Drive, Suite 201, Board Room 2, Richmond, VA 23233. Public comment may also be submitted prior to December 9, 2014, to Caroline Juran, Executive Director of the Board of Pharmacy via email at caroline.juran@dhp.virginia.gov.
As specified in § 54.1-3443 of the Code of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Forensic Science (DFS) has identified three compounds for recommended inclusion by the Board of Pharmacy into Schedule I in the Code of Virginia. The board believes the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is currently working to place these compounds into Schedule I federally. Other drugs of this type have been placed in Schedule I in previous legislative sessions. A brief description and chemical name for each compound is as follows:
1. N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(cyclohexylmethyl)indazole-3-carboxamide (other name: AB-CHMINACA) AB-CHMINACA is classified as a cannabimimetic agent and has been identified in all four DFS laboratories.
2. N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(5-fluoropentyl)indazole-3-carboxamide (other name: 5-fluoro-AMB) 5-fluoro-AMB is classified as a cannabimimetic agent and has been identified in two of the four DFS laboratories.
3. 3,4-methylenedioxy-N,N-dimethylcathinone (other names: Dimethylone, bk-MDDMA) Dimethylone is classified as a substituted cathinone, and has been identified in two of the four DFS laboratories.
If approved by the Board of Pharmacy, the placement of these substances in Schedule I in the Virginia Drug Control Act shall remain in effect for a period of 18 months from the date of board action and shall then be de-scheduled unless the Drug Control Act is amended by enactment of legislation by the General Assembly.
