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 2VAC5-410, Rules and Regulations for the Enforcement of the
Virginia Agricultural Liming Materials 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 May 5, 2018, to
support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of
Virginia.
The provisions of this regulation continue to be necessary in
order to assist in ensuring the proper oversight of the sale of liming
materials in the Commonwealth. The agency has not received any complaints or
comments from the public concerning this regulation. The agency has determined
that the regulation is not unnecessarily complex and is easily understood by
the regulated industry. This regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or
conflict with any federal law or any other state law or regulation.
Additionally, the agency has determined that there are no changes to
technology, economic conditions, or other factors that have occurred that
necessitate amendments to this regulation. The agency has determined that this
regulation is the least burdensome alternative for effectively regulating
participants in this industry, including 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 2VAC5-690, Regulations for Pesticide Containers and
Containment under Authority of the Virginia Pesticide Control Act, 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 May 9, 2018, to support this decision in accordance with
§ 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
This regulation establishes (i) standards for container design
and residue removal in nonrefillable pesticide containers, standards for
container design in refillable pesticide containers, and standards for
repackaging pesticide products into refillable containers and pesticide
containment structures; and (ii) recordkeeping requirements. Individuals,
businesses, or other entities affected by the proposed regulations may include
pesticide registrants, retailers, distributors, commercial applicators, custom
blenders, and end-users. Virginia's regulations are equivalent to the federal
regulations that are currently in place and allow more flexibility and greater
discretion in the enforcement of pesticide container and containment
requirements based on Virginia's unique needs and conditions. No complaints or
comments concerning the regulations have been received from the public. This
regulation became effective in January 2014, and no conditions or factors have
changed since this time that would necessitate any revisions to this
regulation.
Approximately 50 facilities are required to comply with the
regulations. The vast majority of these facilities are small businesses. As the
regulation is equivalent to the federal regulation, this regulation does not
prescribe requirements for regulants with which they would not have to comply
were the regulation repealed. Amendments to the current regulation providing
exemptions from its provisions or less stringent requirements for certain
regulants would not provide protection for human health and the environment.

DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES
Proposed Variance to Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving
Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of
Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115)
The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services
(DBHDS), in accordance with Part VI, Variances (12VAC35-115-220), of the
Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from
Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of Behavioral Health
and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115), hereafter referred to as the
"Human Rights Regulations," is announcing a decision by the State
Human Rights Committee (SHRC) on applications for proposed variances to the
Human Rights Regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure and
protect the legal and human rights of individuals receiving services in
facilities or programs operated, licensed, or funded by DBHDS.
Each variance application must reference the specific part of
these regulations to which a variance is needed, the proposed wording of the
substitute rule or procedure, and the justification for a variance. Such
application must also describe time limits and other conditions for duration
and the circumstances that will end the applicability of the variance. All
variances shall be approved for a specific time period. Variances to the Human
Rights Regulations by providers are reviewed by the SHRC at least annually,
with reports to the SHRC regarding the variances as requested.
After considering all available information at its meeting on
April 20, 2018, the SHRC voted to approve each application for variance listed
below.
Newport News Behavioral Health Center
A public comment period was held from February 19, 2018,
through March 21, 2018. No comments were received. The SHRC approved the
variance application. The variance was approved for a three-year period, with
annual updates provided to the SHRC and quarterly review by the local human
rights committee (LHRC).
Variance to procedures for restrictions on freedoms of
everyday life:
12VAC35-115-100 A 1 a:
Newport News Behavioral Health Center requested a variance to
this provision in order to utilize a point level system (Behavior Management
Model) affecting movement of an individual within the service setting, grounds,
and community. It would require an individual to earn points through a level
system. The level system is to provide all residents with consistent rewards
for positive and constructive behavior and provide consequences when a resident
choses to ignore those rules.
DBHDS Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation (VCBR)
A public comment period was held from December 25, 2017,
through January 25, 2018. No comments were received. The SHRC approved the
variance applications. The variances were approved for a three-year period,
with annual updates provided to the SHRC and quarterly review by the LHRC.
Variance to complaint procedure:
The Human Rights Regulations provide a comprehensive complaint
resolution process that includes access to an LHRC and the SHRC, articulated in
the regulation sections specified below:
12VAC35-115-150: General provisions
12VAC35-115-175: Human rights complaint process
12VAC35-115-180: Local human rights committee hearing and
review procedures
12VAC35-115-190: Special procedures for emergency hearings by
the LHRC
12VAC35-115-200: Special procedures for LHRC reviews involving
consent and authorization
12VAC35-115-210: State Human Rights Committee appeals
procedures
VCBR Facility Instruction No. 202, Resident Complaint
Resolution, provides alternative procedures for addressing resident complaints
to be followed in lieu of those specified in the regulatory sections listed.
VCBR's variances to these regulations are reviewed by the SHRC at least
annually, with VCBR providing reports to the SHRC regarding the variances as
requested.
Variance for rooms within medical unit with no windows:
VCBR has four bedrooms in its medical unit that do not meet the
requirement of the italicized portion of the following regulation:
12VAC35-115-50 C 3 (d): Live in a humane, safe, sanitary
environment that gives each individual, at a minimum, windows or skylights
in all major areas used by individuals.
VCBR requested a variance to this regulation to enable it to
utilize these bedrooms if a bedroom that meets the requirement is not available
on a unit that meets an individual's needs. VCBR currently provides a monthly
report to the SHRC on how many times rooms with no windows within the medical
unit of VCBR are used during the previous month and will continue to do so.
Variance for double-bunking:
Following the mandate by the General Assembly (Chapter 806 of
the 2011 Acts of Assembly), VCBR implemented double-bunking (two individuals
residing in a single room). Although VCBR has attempted to maintain residents'
privacy and a physical environment free from bad odors, this is not always
possible. For this reason, VCBR requested a variance to the regulations listed
below:
12VAC35-115-50 C 3 (a) and (e):
a) Reasonable privacy and private storage space
e) Clean air, free of bad odors
VCBR Facility Instruction No. 124, Resident Housing Assignment,
describes how residents' housing assignments are determined and shall
substitute for these regulations. VCBR provides a monthly report to the SHRC on
how many residents are double-bunked, complaints received by residents
regarding double-bunking, and any medication sessions treatment staff hold with
roommates to resolve concerns related to double-bunking.

Public Meeting and Opportunity for
Public Comment on Total Maximum Daily Load for Barbours Creek, Craig Creek,
Catawba Creek, Little Patterson Creek, Sinking Creek, Lapsely Run, and a
Section on the James River
Public informational meeting: A community meeting will be held
on Thursday, June 21, 2018, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the
Craig-Botetourt Electric Cooperative and on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, from

These meetings will be open to the public and all are welcome. For more
information, please contact Lucy Baker at email lucy.baker@deq.virginia.gov
or telephone (540) 562-6718.
Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) and its contractors, Virginia Tech Biological Systems Engineering, will
discuss the results of a water quality study, known as a total maximum daily
load (TMDL) for Barbours Creek, Craig Creek, Catawba Creek, Little Patterson
Creek, Sinking Creek, Lapsely Run, and a section on the James River in Craig
and Botetourt Counties. These streams are listed on the § 303(d) TMDL
Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of Virginia's water
quality standards for recreational use and general standard (benthics). Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia
requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired
water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. This
is an opportunity for local residents to learn about the condition of these
streams, share information about the area, and become involved in the process
of local water quality improvement. A 30-day public comment period on the draft
TMDL will follow the meetings, June 21, 2018 to July 25, 2018. Access the draft
TMDL document at http://bit.do/VADEQdraftTMDL.
Description of study: In Botetourt
and Craig Counties, portions of the James River, Catawba Creek, Craig Creek,
Barbours Creek, Sinking Creek, Lapsley Run, and Little Patterson Creek are
impaired for the "recreational use" water quality standard, meaning
there is too much E. Coli bacteria present in these waterbodies. A
section of Catawba Creek does not have a healthy and diverse community of
aquatic organisms and subsequently does not meet the "aquatic life"
water quality standard. Excessive bacteria levels may pose a threat to human
health; therefore, a bacteria standard was established to preserve recreational
uses in Virginia's waterbodies. This water quality study will report on the
sources of bacteria and recommend reductions to meet total maximum daily loads
(TMDLs) for the impaired waters. A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant a
water body can contain and still meet water quality standards. To restore water
quality, bacteria levels need to be reduced to the TMDL amount. A component of
a TMDL is the wasteload allocation (WLA); therefore, this notice is provided
pursuant to § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Administrative Process Act for any
future adoption of the TMDL WLAs.
