CALIFORNIA HORSE RACING BOARD
ARTICLE 15. VETERINARY PRACTICES NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO ADD RULE 1842.5 TRAINER TO MAINTAIN MEDICATION TREATMENT RECORDS The California Horse Racing Board (Board or CHRB) proposes to add the regulation described below after considering all comments, objections or recom- mendations regarding the proposed action. PROPOSED REGULATORY ACTION The Board proposes to add Rule 1842.5, Trainer to Maintain Medication Treatment Records, to establish the requirement that trainers maintain a record of all medication treatments administered to a horse under their care that are within the inclosure.
The purpose of this proposed regulation is to ensure important information regarding medication adminis- tration is captured whenever a horse is treated inside the inclosure. By requiring each trainer to maintain a record of all medication treatments administered to a horse un- der their care within the inclosure, the Board will be able to effectively monitor medications provided to race horses and, in the event of a medication violation, determine how the violation occurred.
PUBLIC HEARING The Board will hold a public hearing starting at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, March 19, 2020 or as soon after that as business before the Board will permit, in the Club- house at the California Exposition and State Fair Grandstand, 1600 Exposition Boulevard, Sacra- mento, California. At the hearing, any person may present statements or arguments orally or in writing about the proposed action described in the informative digest. It is requested, but not required, that persons making oral comments at the hearing submit a written copy of their testimony.
WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested persons, or their authorized represen- tative, may submit written comments about the pro- posed regulatory action to the Board. The written com- ment period closes at 11:59 p.m. on March 2, 2020. The Board must receive all comments at that time; how- ever, written comments may still be submitted at the public hearing.
Submit comments to: Robert Brodnik, Staff Counsel California Horse Racing Board 1010 Hurley Way, Suite 300 Sacramento, CA 95825 Telephone (916) 263−6025 Fax: (916) 263−6022 E−Mail: rjbrodnik@chrb.ca.gov AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority cited: Sections 19420, 19440, 19562, 19580 and 19581, Business and Professions Code. Ref- erence: Sections 19401, 19420, 19440, 19580, and 19581, Business and Professions Code.
Business and Professions Code sections 19420, 19440, 19562, 19580 and 19581 authorize the Board to adopt the proposed regulatory addition, which would implement, interpret or make specific sections 19401, 19420, 19440, 19580, and 19581, Business and Profes- sions Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Business and Professions Code
section 19401(
a) pro- vides that it is the intent of the Horse Racing Law to al- low pari−mutuel wagering on horse races while assur- ing protection of the public. Business and Professions Code
section 19420 states that the Board has jurisdic- tion and supervision over meetings in this State where horse races with wagering on their results are held or conducted, and over all persons or things having to do with the operation of such meetings. Business and Pro- fessions Code
section 19440 provides that the Board shall have all powers necessary and proper to enable it to carry out fully and effectually the purposes of this chapter. Responsibilities of the Board shall include adopting rules and regulations for the protection of the public and the control of horse racing and pari−mutuel wagering. Business and Professions Code
section 19562 states the Board may prescribe rules, regulations and conditions under which all horse races with wager- 92
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2020, VOLUME NUMBER 3-Z ing on their results shall be conducted in California. Business and Professions Code
section 19580 requires the Board to adopt regulations to establish policies, guidelines, and penalties relating to equine medication to preserve and enhance the integrity of horse racing in California. Business and Professions Code
section 19581 states no substance of any kind shall be adminis- tered by any means to a horse after it has been entered to race in a horse race, unless the Board has, by regulation, specifically authorized the use of the substance and the quantity and composition thereof. The Board may re- quire that the official veterinarian approve, in writing, the administration of those substances in accordance with the regulations of the Board. Any medication or equipment used to dispense medication that is located within the inclosure is subject to search and inspection at the request of any Board official.
The proposed addition of Rule 1842.5, Trainers to Maintain Medication Treatment Records, will establish the requirement that trainers maintain a record of all medication treatments administered to a horse under their care that are within the inclosure. Subsection (
a) states that every trainer shall maintain a record of all medication treatments administered to horses under their care that are within the inclosure. This subsection is necessary to clarify that the obliga- tion is on the trainer to maintain a record of these medi- cation treatments. The trainer controls access to the barn where horses under his care are housed. Addition- ally, the trainer certifies horses under his care that are entered to race are free from prohibited race day medi- cations. As such, the trainer is in the best position to maintain a record of the medication treatments adminis- tered to horses under his or her care. Subsection (
b) identifies what is to be included in the medication treatment record. Subsection (b)(1) requires the name of the horse to be included in the medication treatment record. This is necessary to identify the horse that received the treat- ment. Subsection (b)(2) requires the date the medica- tion treatment commenced and the prescribed duration of the treatment. This is necessary to accurately capture when the horse began the medication treatment and for how long the treatment was prescribed for.
By requiring this information, investigators, the Stewards, or the Board can determine whether the prescription is being properly dispensed. Subsection (b)(3) requires that the name of the medication, the route of administration and the dosage regimen be provided. This information is necessary because it provides important medication ad- ministration information. The same medication can be administered in a variety of ways. Electing to adminis- ter a medication orally as compared to intravenously can affect the manner in which the medication is ab- sorbed.
By requiring the name of the medication, the route of administration and the dosage regimen to be documented, the Board can effectively monitor how horses are receiving medication within the inclosure. Subsection (b)(4) requires the name of the person ad- ministering the medication to be included. This is nec- essary because it is common for numerous employees within a barn to administer medication to a horse over a period of time.
Because the same person may not al- ways be the person administering the medication, it is important to document their name so investigators can speak to the correct person in the event of an overage. Subsection (b)(5) requires the date and time of each ad- ministration to be placed on the record. This informa- tion is necessary because it provides important medica- tion administration information which can help explain medication overages. Subsection (b)(6) requires the name of the CHRB−licensed veterinarian prescribing the medication treatment.
This is necessary because all medication that are dispensed by a CHRB−licensed vet- erinarian are required to be documented pursuant to CHRB Rule 1842, Veterinarian Report. By mandating that the CHRB−licensed veterinarian’s name be includ- ed, the Board is able to cross−check the prescription with the documents submitted by the veterinarian pur- suant to Rule 1842. Subsection (
c) states that medication treatment records shall be made available for inspection upon re- quest by the Official Veterinarian, Board of Stewards or CHRB investigators. These individuals are all tasked with ensuring the safety of the racecourse and address- ing medication violations. It is necessary to provide these individuals with access to these records so they can effectively perform their duties. Subsection (
d) states that treatments administered by CHRB−licensed veterinarians that are required to be re- ported under Rule 1842 are exempted from the require- ments of this regulation. This
section is necessary to clarify that the CHRB−licensed veterinarian does not need to complete a duplicate report under this proposed regulation. Currently, medication treatment records are not man- dated by the Board. Commonly, CHRB−licensed vet- erinarians will prescribe a medication to a horse to be administered over a period of time. Unless the CHRB− licensed veterinarian personally administers the medi- cation, this information is not captured anywhere.
As such, it is common for medication violation investiga- tions to have difficulty in determining exactly how the overage occurred because there is no documentation. This ultimately leaves licensees who are nevertheless responsible for the medication violation with little in- formation about how to remedy the issue moving for- ward. Accordingly, the CHRB seeks to enhance equine health and safety in California by ensuring medication 93
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2020, VOLUME NUMBER 3-Z administration treatment records are created whenever a horse is treated within the inclosure. FORMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There is no form associated with this regulation. POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW OF ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF PROPOSAL The proposed addition of Rule 1842.5 will substan- tially enhance the health and safety of horses participat- ing in racing throughout the state. Currently, medica- tion treatment records are not mandated by the Board.
Commonly, CHRB−licensed veterinarians will pre- scribe a medication to a horse to be administered over a period of time. Unless the CHRB−licensed veterinarian personally administers the medication, this information is not captured anywhere. As such, it is common for medication violation investigations to have difficulty in determining exactly how the violation occurred be- cause there is no documentation. This ultimately leaves licensees who are nevertheless responsible for the med- ication violation, with little information about how to remedy the issue moving forward.
Accordingly, the CHRB seeks to enhance equine health and safety in Cal- ifornia by ensuring these medication treatment records are created whenever a horse is treated within the inclosure. The proposed changes will also benefit the horse rac- ing industry by enhancing the sport’s integrity. By re- quiring each trainer to maintain a record of all medica- tion treatments administered to a horse under their care within the inclosure, the Board will be able to effective- ly monitor medications provided to race horses to in- sure improper medication administrations do not occur.
CONSISTENCY EV ALUATION During the process of developing the regulation and amendments, the Board has conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and has concluded that the regulation is neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations. DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION Mandate on local agencies and school districts: none. Cost or savings to any state agency: none. Cost to any local agency or school district that must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code Sections 17500 through 17630: none.
Other non−discretionary costs or savings imposed upon local agencies: none. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: none. The Board has made an initial determination that the proposed addition of Rule 1842.5 will not have a signif- icant statewide adverse economic impact directly af- fecting businesses including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.
The following studies/relevant data were relied upon in making the above determination: The Board did not rely on any technical, theoretical, and/or empirical study, reports or documents in propos- ing the addition of Rule 1842.5. Cost impact on representative private persons or businesses: none. The Board is not aware of any cost impacts that a rep- resentative private person or business would necessari- ly incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Significant effect on housing costs: none.
RESULT OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS The proposed addition of Rule 1842.5 will not (1) create or eliminate jobs within California; (2) create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within California; or (3) affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California.
The pro- posed regulatory changes will substantially enhance the health and safety of horses participating in racing throughout the state by requiring each trainer to main- tain a record of all medication treatments administered to a horse under their care within the inclosure, thereby allowing the Board to effectively monitor medications provided to race horses and, in the event of a medication violation, determine how the violation occurred. Effect on small businesses: none.
The proposed addi- tion of Rule 1842.5 will not affect small businesses be- cause horse racing is not a small business under Gov- ernment Code
Section 11342.610. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code
Section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), the Board must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Board, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Board, would be more effective in car- rying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, or would be as effective and less burdensome on affect- ed private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost−effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law. The Board invites interested persons to present state- ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the 94

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2020, VOLUME NUMBER 3-Z AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Pursuant to the authority vested by sections 481, 482, 493, 1905 and 1906 of the Business and Professions Code (B and PC), and to implement, interpret or make specific sections 141, 475, 480, 481, 482, 488, 490, 492, and 493 of said Code, the Board is considering changes to Division 11 of Title 16 of the California Code of Reg- ulations (CCR) as follows: INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Registered dental hygienists, registered dental hy- gienists in alternative practice, and registered dental hy- gienists in extended functions (collectively RDHs) are licensed dental health care professionals that perform authorized dental hygiene services.
The Dental Hy- giene Board of California (Board) licenses and regu- lates RDHs pursuant to sections 1900 through 1967.4 of the B and PC.
Section 1906 (
a) of the B and PC autho- rizes the Board to adopt, amend and revoke such rules and regulations as may be reasonably necessary to en- able it to carry into effect the provisions of the Dental Practice Act (Chapter 4 of Division 2 of the B and PC) related to RDHs. Effective July 1, 2020, Assembly Bill (AB) 2138 (Chapter 995, Statutes of 2018) requires boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs to amend their ex- isting regulations governing substantially related crimes or acts and rehabilitation criteria.
Section 480 of the B and PC presently authorizes boards to deny an ap- plication for licensure based on a conviction for a crime or act substantially related to the licensed business or profession. Likewise,
section 490 of the B and PC au- thorizes boards to suspend or revoke a license on the ba- sis that the licensee was convicted of a crime substan- tially related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of the business or profession. AB 2138 amended
section 480 of the B and PC to restrict the ability of boards to use prior convictions or acts when denying licenses. Boards may not deny a license to an applicant because the applicant was convicted of a crime, or due to the acts underlying the conviction, if the applicant has a certifi- cate of rehabilitation, was granted clemency, made a showing of rehabilitation, or the conviction was dis- missed or expunged.
As required by AB 2138, the primary purpose of this proposal is to implement, interpret, and make specific the provisions of B and PC sections 141, 475, 480, 481, 482, 488, 490, 492, and 493 relative to substantial rela- tionship and rehabilitation criteria. The Board is proposing the following changes: Add CCR
section 1135 of
Article 10 of Division 11 of Title 16 of the CCR (Substantial Relationship Criteria) The proposed regulation, for purposes of denial, sus- pension, or revocation of a license, would add profes- sional misconduct and out−of−state discipline as grounds requiring the Board to consider the substantial- ly related criteria, and require the Board, in making the substantial relationship determination for a crime, to consider the following criteria: (1) the nature and gravi- ty of the offense; (2) the number of years elapsed since the date of the offense; and (3) the nature and duties of the profession in which the applicant seeks licensure or in which the licensee is licensed.
The proposal would add that substantially related crimes, professional mis- conduct, or acts would include violating other state or federal laws governing the practice of dental hygiene. Add CCR sections 1136 and 1137 of
Article 10 of Division 11 of Title 16 of the CCR (Criteria for Rehabilitation) The proposed regulations would clarify that the Board, when considering a license denial or discipline on the ground that the applicant or licensee was convict- ed of a crime, would have to determine whether the ap- plicant or licensee made a showing of rehabilitation and is presently eligible for a license, if the applicant or li- censee completed the criminal sentence without a viola- tion of parole or probation.
In making that determina- tion, the proposal would require the Board to consider the nature and gravity of the crime, the length of the pa- role or probation period, the extent to which the parole or probation period was shortened or lengthened, and the reasons therefor, the terms or conditions of parole or probation and the extent to which they bear on the appli- cant’s or licensee’s rehabilitation, and the extent to which the terms or conditions of parole were modified, and why.
The proposal would require a broader set of re- habilitation criteria to be considered for applicants and licensees who had not completed the criminal sentence without a violation of parole or probation, did not suffi- ciently demonstrate their rehabilitation under the nar- rower set of criteria, or when the denial or discipline was based on something other than a conviction.
Policy Statement Overview/Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation: This proposal would satisfy the provisions mandated by AB 2138, including the legislation’s clear intent to reduce barriers to licensure for individuals with prior criminal convictions, which may reduce recidivism and provide economic opportunity to California’s residents. In addition, the regulatory proposal seeks to improve clarity, transparency, and consistency for applicants and licensees in the Board’s use of their criminal histories. Further, by reducing barriers to licensure, the Board an- 96
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2020, VOLUME NUMBER 3-Z ticipates benefits to consumers who may have greater access to licensed professionals. Determination of Inconsistency and Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: During the process of developing this regulation, the Board has conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and has concluded that the proposed regu- latory action is not inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations.
DISCLOSURES REGARDING PROPOSED ACTION FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES The DHBC has made the following initial determinations: Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs or Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Fed- eral Funding to the State: The Board anticipates that there may be an increased cost to the state as a result of adopting the sections identified in the regulatory pro- posal. By defining the substantial relationship and reha- bilitation criteria for criminal convictions, Board staff may see an increased workload to research convictions and to substantiate that rehabilitation has been achieved.
Although the increase in workload to the Board is anticipated to be absorbable within existing re- sources, the Board may request additional resources through the annual budget process for additional staff should the workload prove to be greater than anticipated. Cost or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agencies: None. Local Mandate: None. Cost to any Local Agency or School District for which Government Code Sections 17500 through 17630 Require Reimbursement: None.
Business Impact The Board has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This initial determination is based on the following facts: The Board has determined that this regulatory pro- posal will not have any significant impact on the cre- ation of jobs or new businesses, the elimination of jobs or existing businesses, or the expansion of businesses in the State of California.
The proposed regulations may have an impact on businesses within California, specifi- cally dental and dental hygiene practices, to the extent individual applicants are able to be licensed under the proposal. The Board issues approximately 800 licenses per year. In the Board’s history, it has reviewed seventeen (17) applications in which the applicants had criminal convictions, and in these cases, issued probationary li- censes to these applicants. Accordingly, the Board does not expect that the proposed regulations will signifi- cantly impact the number of licensees who are able to obtain licensure.
Cost Impacts on a Representative Private Person or Businesses: The Board estimates that there will be no increased costs for businesses or individuals to comply with the proposed regulations, as there would be fewer restrictions for individuals with criminal convictions to obtain licensure. The Board is not aware of any cost im- pacts that a representative person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Significant Effect on Housing Costs: None.
Effect on Small Business: The Board has determined that this regulatory action may affect small businesses, which would have a greater pool of licensed profession- als from which to hire. Business Reporting Requirement The regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the Board. Results of the Economic Impact Analysis/Assessment Impact on Jobs/Businesses: The Board has deter- mined that this regulatory proposal will not have any impact on the creation of jobs or new businesses, the elimination of jobs or existing businesses, or the expan- sion of businesses in the State of California.
Benefits of the Proposed Action: The Board antici- pates that this proposed regulatory action may benefit individuals, who would have greater access to licen- sure, reduce criminal recidivism, and provide economic opportunity to California residents with a criminal his- tory. The public may benefit from the proposal with in- creased access to licensed professionals, which may benefit the health and welfare of the citizens of Califor- nia. Additionally, these proposed regulations would al- low for appropriate vetting of applicants to ensure pro- tection of the public.
This regulatory proposal would not affect worker safety or the state’s environment. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code
section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), the Board must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for 97
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2020, VOLUME NUMBER 3-Z which the action is proposed or would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed regulatory action or would be more cost− effective to the affected private persons and equally ef- fective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of the law. The following alternatives were considered: Option 1: To pursue a regulatory change that requires the Board to find rehabilitation if the applicant completed the terms of their criminal probation or parole.
Courts give little weight to the fact that an applicant did not commit additional crimes or continue addictive behavior while in prison or while in prison or while on probation or parole since they are under the direct supervision of correctional authorities and are required to behave in an exemplary fashion. As such, the Board believes that reviewing each individual on the basis of multiple criteria is the better indicator whether individuals are rehabilitated and not a danger to the public’s health, safety, and welfare. For these reasons, the Board rejected this option. Option 2: Take no action.
The Board opted not to pursue this option because AB 2138 mandates the Board to adopt proposed regulations by July 1, 2020. Interested persons are invited to present statements or arguments orally or in writing relevant to the above de- terminations at the above−scheduled hearing or during the written comment period.

RULEMAKING PETITION DECISION BUREAU OF GAMBLING CONTROL (DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE) NOTICE OF DENIAL OF REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR ADOPTION OR REPEAL Agency: Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement, Bureau of Gambling Control Petitioner: Jarhett Blonien, J. Blonien APLC Authority: California Business and Professions Code sections 19826 and 19827 Issue: On December 4, 2019, the Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement, Bureau of 100
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2020, VOLUME NUMBER 3-Z Gambling Control received a request for reconsideration of a request to repeal or amend regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 3,
Chapter 1,
Article 5, Sections 2050, 2051, 2052, 2053.) Determination: On December 4, 2019, the Department of Justice, Bu- reau of Gambling Control (Bureau) received a request for reconsideration of a request to repeal California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 3,
Chapter 1,
Article 5, Sections 2050, 2051, 2052, and 2053, and de- nies the request for reconsideration as explained below. Request claim: “[T]he regulations at issue 1 concern the administration and regulation of gaming and are not within the scope of authority granted to the Bureau by the Legislature. The Bureau is exceeding its own statu- tory authority and usurping the authority of the Califor- nia Gambling Control Commission (“Commission”) with these invalid regulations.” ... “In 2001, SB 952 repealed Business and Professions Code
section 19830(a). The statutory authority for 11CCR sections 2050−2054 [sic] was therefore repealed.” ... “The Commission has subsequently promulgated numerous Regulations and has not found it necessary to promulgate Regulations like 11CCR sections 2050−2054 [sic]. (See 4 CCR
section 12000 et. seq.)” Response: 1. The repeal of Business and Professions Code
section 19830, subdivision (
a) did not affect the Bureau’s authority to adopt sections 2050 through 2053, of title 11 of the California Code of Regulations. Beginning in 1997, the Gambling Control Act (Act) was implemented in two phases. During Phase I, the Act authorized the Bureau to adopt regulations implement- ing the Act. (Former Bus. and Prof. Code,
section 19830, subd. (a).) During Phase II, the Act created the California Gambling Control Commission to regulate the operations of gambling establishments, leaving the Bureau with jurisdiction to investigate and monitor the operations of such establishments for compliance with the Act. (Bus. and Prof. Code, sections 19826, 19827.) During Phase II and today, the Act authorized and still authorizes the Bureau to adopt regulations relating to investigating and monitoring gambling establishments. 1 California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 3,
Chapter 1,
Article 5, Sections 2050, 2051, 2052, and 2053. (Former Bus. and Prof. Code,
section 19824A renum- bered as Bus. and Prof. Code,
section 19826.) After transitioning to Phase II, the Bureau sponsored Senate Bill 952 (Stats. 2001, Ch. 945) to correct draft- ing errors and to delete duplicate, conflicting provisions in the Act relating to the two−phase implementation of the Act, including the repeal of Business and Profes- sions Code
section 19830, subdivision (a). (Sen. Com- mittee on Governmental Organization, Senate Bill 952, Apr. 3, 2001.) SB 952 did not substantively alter the re- sponsibilities of the Bureau or the Commission. Following the passage of SB 952, the Bureau made a non−substantive update to the authority
section of sec- tions 2050 through 2053. 2. The Bureau has subject matter jurisdiction over sections 2050 through 2053, of title 11 of the California Code of Regulations. Sections 2050 through 2053 of title 11 of the Califor- nia Code of Regulations are necessary for the Bureau to investigate and monitor the activities of gambling es- tablishments. (Bus. and Prof. Code,
section 19826.)
Section 2050 ensures that the Bureau has access to an owner or key employee during an establishment’s hours of operation to promptly investigate complaints and suspected violations.
Section 2051 ensures that the Bu- reau has access to the chips used by gambling establish- ments to promptly investigate complaints and suspect- ed violations. The reporting requirement in
section 2052 allows the Bureau to monitor the activities of gam- bling establishments and to have ready access to infor- mation to promptly investigate complaints and suspect- ed violations. In the Act, the Legislature specifically de- clared that records of cash and credit transactions “have a high degree of usefulness” in investigations. (Bus.
section 19801, subd. (n).)
Section 2053 ensures that the Bureau can investigate and monitor whether a gambling establishment has enough money to cover winning wagers. Because the request for reconsideration fails to pro- vide any basis upon which to reconsider the Bureau’s previous denial of the original petition, and only con- tains a reiteration of what was provided in the original petition, the request for reconsideration is denied. Contact Person and Availability of Petition Pursuant to Government Code
section 11340.7, sub-
section (d), any interested party, or his or her duly au- thorized representative, may obtain a copy of the peti- tion related to this determination by contacting: 101

sec. 4551 et seq.) (the “Act”) prohibits a person from conducting timber operations, as defined, unless a timber harvesting plan prepared by a registered professional forester has been submitted to, and approved by, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The Act requires the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (the “Board”) to adopt district forest practice rules and regulations, as provided. Public Re- sources Code

chapter 108,
section 1, pro- vides that a sustained yield plan prepared and approved in accordance with these rules and regulations shall be effective for a period of no more than 20 years, which is an increase from the previous 10−year limit. As changes without regulatory effect, the Board is amending their regulations to state that the effective period of a sus- tained yield plan shall be no more than 20 years, and the renewal of a previously approved sustained yield plan may be granted for a successive 20−year period.
