Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers, and Landscape Architects conducted a small business impact review of 18VAC10-20, Board For Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers, And Landscape Architects Regulations, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers, and Landscape Architects is publishing its report of findings dated March 24, 2016, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

1. The current regulations establish minimum licensing requirements for architects, professional engineers, land surveyors, and landscape architects. Minimum standards are necessary for these professions because these individuals design the very infrastructure of the country including buildings, bridges, and other important structures. Ensuring that these professionals meet minimum education, training, experience, and examination standards is crucial to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. The regulations also establish specific requirements for the certification of interior designers. However, as a certificate program, it does not affect the practice of interior design by noncertified individuals. These regulations also establish minimum requirements for business registrations.

2. Four public comments were received during the public comment period January 11 through February 1, 2016. The first comment recommends that the regulation regarding the licensing/certification of architects, professional engineers, land surveyors, certified interior designers, and landscape architects be retained in order to help protect the health, safety, and welfare. The other comments pertain to allowing experience to replace education requirements. The board determined to keep the requirements as currently written.

3. The regulations are not complex in nature.

4. The regulations do not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state laws or regulations but instead work in concert with them.

5. The last periodic review concluded December 2011. The current regulations became effective January 1, 2016.

6. No small business impact has been identified.

STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION

Bureau of Insurance

March 23, 2016

Administrative Letter 2016-02

To: All Carriers with in force Long-Term Care Insurance Policies in Virginia and All Interested Parties

Re: Rules Governing Long Term Care Insurance
14VAC5-200-125 Annual Rate Reports

This Administrative Letter serves to remind carriers with Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) coverage in force in Virginia of new reporting requirements beginning in 2016.

In accordance with the Rules Governing Long Term Care Insurance (Rules) at 14VAC5-200-125, insurers must report to the commission annually by June 30 premium rates for all LTCI policies. The first annual rate reports are due no later than June 30, 2016.

The rules identify different reporting requirements depending upon when the policies were issued and whether or not the policies are currently being marketed. Insurers are responsible for consulting the rules for more specific information concerning the information to be reported.

To facilitate and standardize the completion and submission of the annual rate reports, we strongly encourage insurers to use the annual rate reporting forms developed by the bureau and to submit the annual rate reports and any accompanying documentation via the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filings (SERFF). The annual rate reporting forms, which vary depending upon the dates of issue of the policies and by their marketing status, may be found on the bureau's website at http://www.scc.virginia.gov/boi/co/health/index.aspx.

Any policy forms that have or will be combined for purposes of rate increases must also be combined in the annual rate report.

An annual rate report is not required for non-cancellable LTCI policies. An insurer may also request an exemption from future annual rate reports for any form or forms for which it provides written certification that it will not increase premiums in the future.

Questions or requests for clarification should be directed to Toni Janoski, Supervisor, Rates Section, Life and Health Division, Bureau of Insurance, (804) 371-9945, or email Toni.Janoski@scc.virginia.gov.

Notice of Intent to Reauthorize Use of Virginia Aquatic Resources Trust Fund as a Form of Compensatory Mitigation under 9VAC25-210

Pursuant to § 62.1-44.15:20-23 of the Code of Virginia and 9VAC25-210-116 D, the State Water Control Board (the Board) is giving notice of its intent to reauthorize the Virginia Aquatic Resources Trust Fund (VARTF), one of several acceptable forms of compensatory mitigation for permitted impacts to state waters including streams and wetlands, to continue use of its existing program instrument (instrument), after considering public comment for a 30-day period starting April 18, 2016.

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) remains the sponsor of VARTF, an existing in-lieu fee compensatory mitigation program, which has been in operation in the Commonwealth of Virginia since 1995, in accordance with a memorandum of understanding between TNC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), as amended in 2003. In 2011, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) participated on a work group with the Corps, TNC, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop the instrument, bringing VARTF into compliance with the Federal Mitigation Rule (33 CFR 332), which governs compensatory mitigation for activities authorized by Corps permits, as well as Virginia State Water Control Law and DEQ's Virginia Water Protection Permit (VWPP) program.

The purpose of this reauthorization is to maintain guidelines, responsibilities, and standards set forth in 2011 for the establishment, use, operation, and maintenance of VARTF in compliance with State Water Control Law and the VWPP program. The instrument satisfies the requirements set forth by the VWPP program in 9VAC25-210-116 D, including dedication to the achievement of no net loss of wetland acreage and functions or stream functions and water quality benefits; consultation with DEQ on site selection; provision of annual reports detailing projects and contributions by watershed; and a mechanism to establish fee amounts. Additionally, VARTF demonstrates, through annual reports, that its efforts have enhanced wetland acreage and functions or stream functions and water quality benefits, through the preservation, creation, or restoration of wetlands or streams. Lastly, VARTF continues to work in collaboration with the interagency review team for in-lieu fee programs on efforts to advance the VARTF program over time.

The board proposes to reauthorize VARTF to use the instrument, continuing as a compensatory mitigation option for a five-year period ending July 14, 2021. DEQ's approval will remain in effect until July 14, 2021, provided that the conditions of the instrument are met. Approval of VARTF may be made by letter, after accepting and considering public comments on its approval of VARTF for at least a 30-day public comment period.  A copy of this public notice and links to the VARTF program instrument, exhibits, and most recent VARTF annual report are available on the DEQ website wetlands and streams public notice page at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WetlandsStreams/PublicNotices.aspx, under the program and regulatory section.  These documents may also be obtained by calling or emailing David L. Davis. Written comments, including those by email, must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. on May 18, 2016, and should be submitted to David L. Davis using the contact information given below. Only those comments received within the comment period will be considered by the board. Written comments shall include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comment, shall reference "VARTF Reauthorization" in the subject line, and shall contain a complete, concise statement of the factual basis for comments.
