§ 20-03 DSBS Procedures for Considering and Responding to Petitions for Rulemaking.
RCNY § 20-03
(a)Requests for supplemental information. DSBS will determine whether additional information is required that would assist DSBS in assessing the petition and may contact the Petitioner to request any additional information that it determines may be helpful to its determination.
(b)Timing of determinations. If a petition is submitted in proper form, as required by 66 RCNY § 20-02, within 60 days from the date of receipt of the petition, DSBS will either: (1) deny the petition in writing, stating the reasons for denial; or (2) approve the petition in writing, stating DSBS’s intention to initiate rulemaking, by a specified date, concerning the subject of the petition.
(c)Determinations. DSBS has full discretion to grant or deny any portion of a petition for proposed rulemaking and may amend or modify the petition’s proposed language. If a petition is denied in full, DSBS will take no further action. DSBS’s decision to deny or grant a petition is final and not subject to judicial review.
