Consensus Rule Making Determination

This statement is being submitted pursuant to subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivision (1) of section 202 of the State Administrative Procedure Act and in support of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation’s (HESC) Notice of Proposed Rule Making seeking to repeal section 2201.11 of Title 8 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (NYCRR).

It is apparent from the nature and purpose of this rule that no person is likely to object to the adoption of the rule as written. The Volunteer Recruitment Service Scholarships program expired and was deemed repealed on June 30, 2010. Since there are no outstanding requirements to be fulfilled and no new awards will be made, the regulation implementing this program is no longer needed.

Consistent with the definition of “consensus rule”, as set forth in section 102(11) of the State Administrative Procedure Act, HESC has determined that this proposal, which repeals an obsolete rule, is non-controversial and, therefore, no person is likely to object to its adoption.

Reasoned Justification for Modification of the Rule

This statement is being submitted pursuant to subdivision (3) of section 207 of the State Administrative Procedure Act and in support of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation’s (HESC) Notice of Proposed Rule Making seeking to repeal section 2201.11 of Title 8 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (NYCRR).

The Volunteer Recruitment Service Scholarships program expired and was deemed repealed on June 30, 2010. Since there are no outstanding requirements to be fulfilled and no new awards will be made, the regulation implementing this program is no longer needed justifying its repeal.

Job Impact Statement

This statement is being submitted pursuant to subdivision (2) of section 201-a of the State Administrative Procedure Act and in support of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation’s (Corporation) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking to repeal section 2201.11 to Title 8 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York.

It is apparent from the nature and purpose of this rule that it has no impact on jobs and employment opportunities. This rule repeals an obsolete section of HESC’s regulations implementing the Volunteer Recruitment Service Scholarships program, which expired and was deemed repealed on June 30, 2010.

The Corporation has determined that this rule will have no substantial adverse impact on any private or public sector jobs or employment opportunities and therefore a full Job Impact Statement is not necessary.
