12VAC5-620
 

After reading this document I say "no" to VDH controlling the fee schedule. I say "yes" to  needed changes such as a reduced fee for component replacement that is not covered otherwise along with a need for a change in well permits that require a fee for an abandonment only this should not be required. But don't change fees for well replacement with proper abandonment leave this alone. I don't understand the numbers stated in the Business and Entities Affected and again under Small Business, are the 350 individuals both private and public sector individuals combined? Under Projected Impact on Emp[loyment it is stated that these proposed changes are expected to reduce administrative staff time that would be necessary to update the regulations through the standard regulatory process on a frequent basis. If these administrative staff people will be constantly looking at the "high frequency of legislative actions affecting fees" to adjust the VDH fee schedule, then these same staff people should not have to spend any more time on taking the changes through the Regulatory process.
