The public may provide comments for each rule, which will be sent electronically to the administrator at the agency responsible for collecting the comments for each subchapter. A public comment is defined as a written comment objecting to the rule, in whole or in part, received by an agency from any member of the public, including an association or other organization representing the regulated community or other members of the public (G.S. 150B-21.3A(a)(5)). In order for a comment to be considered by the Rules Review Commission, the comment must address the content of the rule. See N.C. Gen. Stat. §150B-21.3A(c) for details. A public comment has merit if it addresses the specific substance of the rule and relates to any of the standards for review by the Rules Review Commission set forth in G.S. 150B-21.9(a).
