Public Input for Rules Notices are published each Wednesday to alert the public regarding state agency rulemaking. You may obtain a copy of any rule by notifying the agency contact person. You may also comment on the rule, and/or attend the public hearing. If no hearing is scheduled, you may request one - the agency may then schedule a hearing, and must do so if 5 or more persons request it. If you are disabled or need special services to attend a hearing, please notify the agency contact person at least 7 days prior to it. Petitions: you can petition an agency to adopt, amend, or repeal any rule; the agency must provide you with petition forms, and must respond to your petition within 60 days. The agency must enter rulemaking if the petition is signed by 150 or more registered voters, and may begin rulemaking if there are fewer. You can also petition the Legislature to review a rule; the Executive Director of the Legislative Council (115 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333, phone (207) 287-1615) will provide you with the necessary petition forms. The appropriate legislative committee will review a rule upon receipt of a petition from 100 or more registered voters, or from "...any person who may be directly, substantially and adversely affected by the application of a rule..." (Title 5 §11112). WorldWide Web: Copies of the weekly notices and the full texts of adopted rule chapters may be found on the internet at: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/rules. There is also a list of rulemaking liaisons (http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/rules/liaisons.html), who are single points of contact for each agency. PROPOSALS AGENCY: 16-633 - Department of Public Safety (DPS), Gambling Control Board CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE OF THE RULE: Ch. 20, Slot Machine and Electronic Table Game Standards, and Appendix B (partial amendment(s) of existing rule) TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2020-P246 CONCISE SUMMARY: The rule package updates ch. 20, Slot Machine and Electronic Table Game Standards, and Appendix B, with a new version of GLI-11 and three new standards, GLI-18, 24 & 25. PUBLIC HEARING: N/A DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS: February 12, 2021 AGENCY CONTACT PERSON / RULEMAKING LIAISON: Milton Champion, Executive Director, Gambling Control Unit, 45 Commerce Drive - Suite 3, Augusta ME 04333-0087. Telephone and E-MAIL: 207-626-3901. Email: Milton.F.Champion@Maine.gov . THIS RULE WILL NOT HAVE A FISCAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES. AGENCY: 13-188 - Department of Marine Resources (DMR) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 2, Aquaculture Lease Regulations; 2.95, Water Quality Classifications and Shellfish Aquaculture (Maximum Seed Sizes in Prohibited Areas) TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P001 BRIEF SUMMARY: This proposed rule pertains to seed shellstock that is cultured within the prohibited growing area classification. The proposed regulation would require the removal of cultivated seed from prohibited areas before it exceeds the listed maximum size for each species contemplated. The proposed change is necessary to comply with provisions set forth in the National Shellfish Sanitation Program Model Ordinance (Model Ordinance). The proposal would also eliminate the need to close receiving aquaculture lease or license sites for depuration, provided seed is moved in compliance with what is specified in the rule. The proposal would remove the existing requirement that a permit be obtained for seed that comes from any growing area not classified as approved or conditionally approved. Aquaculturists cultivating seed in prohibited areas must have a DMR approved operations plan that would need to include corrective action for dealing with seed that exceed the maximum size specified in the proposal. Failure to implement the corrective actions would result in the destruction of the seed. The Department is also processing a rule change to Chapter 94 (Sanitary Control of Molluscan Shellfish), which specifies that aquaculture lease and license holders may buy, or possess seed from growing areas in the prohibited classification, so long as the seed size complies with what is set forth in this proposal.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 13-188 - Department of Marine Resources (DMR) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 30, River Herring: 30.03, Taking of River Herring from Walker's Brook TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P002 BRIEF SUMMARY: In consideration of successful restoration efforts at Walker's Pond in Brooksville, DMR is proposing to establish a limited fishery in Walker's Brook. The proposed rule would authorize the take of river herring from May 15th through June 5th. In accordance with existing regulations and statutes, individuals may take up to 25 river herring per day using hook and line or dip net. Although fishing would be allowed in Walker's Brook from May 15th through June 5th, the weekly closed periods would still apply, so that fishing would be prohibited from 6:00 am Thursday to 6:00 a.m. Sunday. The proposed regulation does not expressly reference the method of take, daily limit, and weekly closed periods because these restrictions are already specified in other sections of DMR's regulations and statutes.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 13-188 - Department of Marine Resources (DMR) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 32, Eel Regulations (Elver Quota System for the 2021 Season) TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P003 BRIEF SUMMARY: This proposed rulemaking establishes the elver quota allocations for the 2021 season for individuals licensed under §§ 6505-A and 6302-A, and the method of calculating individual elver quota allocations for individuals licensed under 6505-A. 2021 allocations for individuals who held a license in 2020 will be the same as their 2020 allocations, plus any quota associated with licenses not renewed in 2020, or licenses suspended for the duration of the 2021 season, in excess of that which is allocated to new license holders, which will be distributed evenly to all existing license holders. Finally, the proposed rule establishes a tending requirement, so that the contents of fyke nets and Sheldon box traps are removed at least once every 16 hours. The tending requirement is intended to reduce by-catch and elver mortality by requiring harvesters to check nets and box traps on a regular basis.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 13-188 - Department of Marine Resources (DMR) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 34, Groundfish Regulations: 34.07, Atlantic Halibut Season TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P004 BRIEF SUMMARY: In May 2020, the Department of Marine Resources adopted an emergency rule in order to remain within the state waters subcomponent of the federal Annual Catch Limit, and to prevent accountability measures from being triggered if the Allowable Biological Catch is exceeded. The Department incorporates the emergency changes via this regular rulemaking. This rulemaking reduces the length of the state waters halibut season by one week at each end of the season (resulting in a season of May 18-June 13). This action is intended to protect and conserve the halibut resource in compliance with the federal management plan and avoid future implementation of accountability measures.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 13-188 - Department of Marine Resources (DMR) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 94, Sanitary Control of Molluscan Shellfish TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P005 BRIEF SUMMARY: This proposal would amend Chapter 94 to reference the most current version of the National Shellfish Sanitation Program Model Ordinance (Model Ordinance). The proposal would also specify certain compliance requirements for the operation of buying stations. Specifically, buying station representatives would need to maintain activity logs that document information such as date and time of purchase, quantity of shellstock purchased, and the date and time of harvest. The proposed regulation also specifies that vehicles must have a mechanical refrigeration unit, onboard thermometer and a time/temperature data logger. The proposal would also change the expiration date of Shellfish Sanitation Certificates, Bulk Tagging, and Buying Station Permits from June 1st to April 1st. The Department is also processing a rule change to Chapter 2 (Aquaculture Regulations), which would establish maximum seed size definitions for growing areas in the prohibited classification. In order to maintain consistency with those anticipated changes, this proposal specifies that aquaculture lease and license holders may buy or possess seed from growing areas in the prohibited classification, so long as the seed size complies with definitions established in Chapter 2.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 13-188 - Department of Marine Resources (DMR) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 115, Vibrio parahaemolyticus Control Plan TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P006 BRIEF SUMMARY: This proposed regulation would add specified areas of the Scarborough and Nonesuch Rivers and Spinney Creek to existing vibrio control areas. It would change the dates the control plan is in effect in all designated control areas from May 1st through October 31st to June 1st though October 15th. It would change the submission deadline for control plans from March 1st to April 1st. The proposed rule also modifies what information harvesters and dealers must include in their control plans. It also permits recreational harvest in designated control areas provided the town has a municipal shellfish ordinance that issues recreational licenses, and the municipality provides vibrio education to recreational harvesters prior to the issuance of the recreational license.

You may also comment on the rule, and/or attend the public hearing. If no hearing is scheduled, you may request one - the agency may then schedule a hearing, and must do so if 5 or more persons request it. If you are disabled or need special services to attend a hearing, please notify the agency contact person at least 7 days prior to it. Petitions: you can petition an agency to adopt, amend, or repeal any rule; the agency must provide you with petition forms, and must respond to your petition within 60 days. The agency must enter rulemaking if the petition is signed by 150 or more registered voters, and may begin rulemaking if there are fewer. You can also petition the Legislature to review a rule; the Executive Director of the Legislative Council (115 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333, phone (207) 287-1615) will provide you with the necessary petition forms. The appropriate legislative committee will review a rule upon receipt of a petition from 100 or more registered voters, or from "...any person who may be directly, substantially and adversely affected by the application of a rule..." (Title 5 §11112). WorldWide Web: Copies of the weekly notices and the full texts of adopted rule chapters may be found on the internet at: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/rules.

The text of the proposed rule and the notice of rulemaking may be found at the Office's website: www.investors.maine.gov . PUBLIC HEARING: None scheduled. COMMENT DEADLINE: Written comments must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 19, 2021, and should be addressed to: Judith M.

II Section 97, Private Non-Medical Institution Services TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P007 CONCISE SUMMARY: This rule is proposed in order to provide clarity and consistency in processes and record-keeping across MaineCare policies and to enhance safeguards and protections of client rights under the Bates, et al. v. Commissioner, DHHS, et al, consent decree. The proposed changes address referrals to and terminations from Appendix E, Private Non-Medical Institutions, with the addition of Section 97.07-10, Termination, and Section 97.07-11, Referrals, as well as increasing frequency for progress note writing in 97.07-4. Prior to terminating a member's services, providers must receive written approval from the Office of Behavioral Health (OBH); must issue a 30-day advanced written termination notice to the member, with an exception for cases involving imminent harm; and must assist the member in obtaining clinically necessary services from another provider prior to termination. Providers must acknowledge receipt of Department referrals within three business days for members eligible for Appendix E services and must accept or request permission to decline referrals in accordance with a Department-defined process within five business days of receipt of referral. Providers can only decline a referral with written approval from OBH, otherwise they must admit members within thirty days of receipt of the referral. This proposed rule also changes the frequency requirement for entering and signing progress notes from a monthly to a daily expectation within Appendix E facilities. This change is made to improve accuracy and quality within member records. Finally, this proposed rule makes technical, grammatical, and punctuational edits, including updating references to current Department office names. See http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oms/rules/index.shtml for rules and related rulemaking documents.
