10/1/08 N.Y. St. Reg. MTV-40-08-00003-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
This is a consensus rule making to amend section 107.11 of Title 15 NYCRR.
Statutory authority:
Vehicle and Traffic Law, sections 215(a) and 2223
Subject:
Display of registration numbers on snowmobiles.
Purpose:
To establish the manner in which snowmobile registration stickers are displayed.
Text of proposed rule:
Part 107 is amended by adding new section 107.11 to read as follows:
107.11 Display of registration sticker
(a) "Cowling" shall mean the forward portion of the snowmobile usually surrounding the motor and clutch assembly.
(b) The New York registration shall be displayed by affixing the registration sticker issued by the Commissioner on the cowling of the snowmobile on both the right and left side of the cowling below the windshield on a vertical plane so as to provide an unobstructed view of the registration numbers by a person viewing the snowmobile from either side. For an illustration of this, please refer to the diagram below and depicted on the back side of the registration stickers provided.
See Appendix in this issue of the Register.
Text of proposed rule and any required statements and analyses may be obtained from:
Carrie L. Stone, Department of Motor Vehicles, Counsel's Office, Room 526, 6 Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12228, (518) 474-0871.
Data, views or arguments may be submitted to:
Same as above.
Public comment will be received until:
45 days after publication of this notice.
This action was not under consideration at the time this agency's regulatory agenda was submitted.
Consensus Rule Making Determination
Section 2223 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law states that the registration numbers assigned to a snowmobile shall be displayed on the vehicle at all times in such manner as the commissioner may, by regulation, prescribe. This section authorizes the Department to establish the rules and regulations to prescribe the manner in which in which the registration numbers provided by the Department will be displayed. This proposal sets forth these rules and regulations. This regulation follows, and is consistent with, the statutory requirements of Section 2223. The proposed procedures are minor in nature and would have no adverse impact on the parties.
This is submitted as a consensus rule because the DMV consulted with the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the New York State Snowmobile Association, and they had no objection to this rule. In addition, the rule merely establishes procedures in order to implement the mandates of the law.
Job Impact Statement
A Job Impact Statement is not submitted with this rule because it will not have an adverse impact on job creation or development.
