    Shari Calnero, Associate Counsel, Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Albany NY 12238 (For USPS mailing), 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12207 (for physical delivery), (518) 486-2921, email: rule.making@parks.ny.gov
    Initial Review of Rule
    As a rule that does not require a RFA, RAFA or JIS, this rule will be initially reviewed in the calendar year 2021, which is no later than the 5th year after the year in which this rule is being adopted.
    Assessment of Public Comment
    The agency received one comment with the suggestion Part 372.7(r), which governs trapping, should list possible permit conditions and reference other trapping regulations that may apply. The agency rejects this suggestion because it has determined the Commissioner has discretion to allow trapping only in very narrow circumstances, thus warranting a case-by-case approach to permit conditions.
