Seal precedent and established need
 

All evaluation reports and designs submitted to VDH, whether by an AOSE/PE or
by any other person, must be in the form specified in this policy and contain the
minimum information required, and shall be certified as substantially complying
with the minimum requirements of the Sewage Handling and Disposal
Regulations (12 VAC 5-610-20 et seq., the “Regulations”). (See AOSE
Regulations, section 70). Whenever an AOSE is required to sign or certify
work according to the AOSE Regulations and/or this policy he must, in
addition to his signature, apply a stamp or a preprinted or electronic seal
bearing the AOSE’s name and certification number to original cover sheets
of plans, drawings, plats, reports, and specifications and to each original
sheet of plans, drawings, plats, reports, and specifications prepared by the
AOSE or someone under his direct control and supervision.
Application of
the seal and signature indicates acceptance of responsibility for work shown
thereon.

(From the legacy regulation and guidance documents; GMP 126, dated July 16, 2004)

In light of the shortcomings of this draft language I join the call for an extension of comment period.
