N.J. Admin. Code § 13:1E-4.2

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 13:1E-4.2 - Additional time for public comments

(a) If sufficient public interest is demonstrated within 30 days of the publication of a rulemaking proposal in the New Jersey Register, the proposing agency shall provide an additional 30 days for submission of comments on the proposal. Agencies that provide an initial comment period of at least 60 days in the notice of proposal may elect to extend the comment period beyond 60 days but are not required by this rule to do so.

(b) Public interest in additional time to submit comments shall be determined by the agency based on written requests to the address to which comments are to be sent contained in the proposal. Public interest in additional time shall be sufficient to require an additional 30 days to submit comments if written comments received within 30 days of publication of the proposal in the New Jersey Register request additional time to present data, arguments or views that raise a substantial issue as to the impact of the proposal on the regulated community or the general public that has not been anticipated by the agency. Persons requesting additional time shall specify the impact or issue to be addressed.
