SUMMARY:Hearing on Rule:26P010 -- ANR Lands Management Planning Rule
LOCATION:Lyndon Public Safety Building
DESCRIPTION: Location: Lyndon Public Safety Building Address: 316 Main Street City: Lyndonville State: VT Title: ANR Lands Management Planning Rule Persons Affected: The proposed rule codifies a process by which management plans are developed, is procedural in scope and economically neutral in impact. This proposed rule does not regulate any business or entity and thus does not have an economic impact on businesses or entities conducting business in Vermont. The proposed rule outlines a comprehensive public input process whereby interested members of the public and business entities may provide input on the use and management of public lands thereby ensuring various interests are considered in the planning process, resulting in transparency and clarity. Economic Impact: The proposed rule codifies a process by which management plans are developed and outlines the minimum content and considerations required to be included in a management plan. This rule also outlines the process by which the public may provide input in the land management planning process. This rule does not propose or result in a new requirement or regulation that would have an economic impact. This proposed rule does not have an economic impact on businesses or entities conducting business in Vermont. The proposed rule outlines a comprehensive public input process whereby interested members of the public, non governmental organizations, and business entities may provide input on the use and management of public lands thereby ensuring various interests are considered in the planning process, resulting in transparency and clarity. Effective Date:  Summary:The purpose of this ANR Lands Management Rule is to codify ANR’s land management planning framework and process, and to set forth the requirements for public input related to land management planning. The proposed rule consolidates existing policy and procedure; proposes an update to the planning framework that formalizes a category of routine management activities (Universal Management Actions); creates a new "Statewide Plan;" and establishes two new land classifications that prioritize resource protection and support evelopment of old forest conditions. This proposed rule will provide clarity to the public regarding the process by which the Departments plan for and manage ANR lands and how the public can provide input in the process.

SUMMARY:Hearing on Rule:26P011 -- The Solid Waste Management Rules.
LOCATION:Virtually via MS Teams
DESCRIPTION: Location: Virtually via MS Teams Address: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting City: Meeting ID: 278 330 781 577 582 Passcode: X6Ex6nT6 Dial in by phone +1 802-828-7667,,207636968# United States, Montpelier. State: VT Title: The Solid Waste Management Rules. Persons Affected: The following are subject to the provisions of these Rules: solid waste management districts, alliances and independent towns; solid waste management companies, haulers, and facility owners and operators; residual waste importers; solid waste engineering firms; and organics management entities. Economic Impact: The proposed source separated and packaged food regulations will have no impact on most Vermont homes, institutions, and businesses. Large packaged food generators will see significant savings from allowing packaged food management via depackaging facilities in these rules. A small percentage of large businesses and solid waste haulers may incur slight cost increases for equipment and services. The slaughterhouse waste revisions will result in significant reductions in waste management expenses for slaughterhouses which will flow through to farmers and meat consumers. The changes could positively decrease costs and increase revenue for some food residuals haulers and composters seeking access to source separate food residuals. The addition of biosolids and short paper fiber PFAS standards could increase costs for Vermont municipalities producing biosolids and for out-of-state biosolids and short paper fiber producers and managers seeking to land apply these materials in Vermont. Effective Date:  Summary:The proposed rule revisions prohibit combining source separated food residuals with packaged food residuals; prohibit source separated food residual processing by depackaging machines; create operational requirements for mechanical depackaging facilities (required by Act 170 of 2022); allow development soil disposal outside of lined landfills (Act 69 of 2025); require paper and cardboard recyclables be covered at facilities; increase the amount of slaughterhouse waste that can be processed at medium compost facilities; increase the percentage of allowable paper contamination from 1 to up to 5 in processed glass aggregate; adopted PFAS screening standards for biosolids (already in DEC 2024 policy); expanded recognition of all EPA Part 503 Class A biosolids processes to significantly reduce pathogens alternatives which applies to EQ biosolids produced or imported to Vermont; and added regulations for short paper fiber testing, PFAS screening and tracking where applied. Minor typos were corrected too.

Persons Affected: Office of Professional Regulation; Department of Vermont Health Access; Current interim telehealth registrants. Economic Impact: Currently, interim telehealth registrants pay no fees. This rule will operationalize the application and renewal fee schedule in 26 V.S.A. ch. 56. Depending on the profession and credential, those fees are $73 to $285 for initial applications and $109 to $491 for biannual renewals. We estimate the rule's implementation will generate approximately $430,000 in the first year and $280,000 annually after that. Effective Date:  Summary:These rules govern the licensing and registration of out-of-state healthcare professionals practicing with Vermont patients via telehealth only. These rules create the permanent system mandated by Act 4 (2023) to replace a system currently operating on an interim basis. The rules provide for eligibility requirements, standards of practice, and mandatory disclosures by out-of-state telehealth professionals. These rules do not apply to practice via telehealth by professionals who hold regular Vermont credentials.

DESCRIPTION: Location: Vermont Agency of Transportation, Dill Building Address: 2178 Airport Road City: Barre State: VT Title: 10 App. V.S.A. § 12., Leashed tracking dogs. Persons Affected: Leashed tracking dog licensees; Hunters; and 
Department Staff, including Game Wardens. Economic Impact: The proposed rule changes are not anticipated to have an economic impact. Effective Date:  Summary:The proposed rule amendments make two changes to the existing leashed tracking dog rule: it amends the definition of "big game animal" to be consistent with the definition in 10 V.S.A. § 4001, to include all big game animals including moose. This will allow hunters to employ leashed tracking dogs to legally track dead or wounded moose.  And the proposed amendment strikes the language limiting tracking to big game seasons and the 24-hour period immediately following. This will allow for the use of tracking dogs to locate animals injured or killed outside the legal hunting seasons.

Effective Date:  Summary:The proposed amendments are intended to clarify the big game tagging requirements regarding required tag information, requirements for individuals taking game on their own land, and tagging requirements for the transportation of animal parts. The proposed rule language requires that all big game carcasses are tagged with a tag that contains the name of the hunter, and the applicable tag or permit number.  This information is necessary for appropriate enforcement of license and permitting requirements.

SUMMARY:Hearing on Rule:26P014 -- 10 App. V.S.A. § 2, Report, Big Game
LOCATION:Vermont Agency of Transportation, Dill Building
DESCRIPTION: Location: Vermont Agency of Transportation, Dill Building Address: 2178 Airport Road City: Barre State: VT Title: 10 App. V.S.A. § 2, Report, Big Game Persons Affected: Small Business owners acting as authorized reporting stations, including general stores, outdoor sporting goods stores, grocery stores and markets, hardware stores, etc. throughout Department Staff, including biologists and Game Wardens. Hunters Economic Impact: The amended rule language will allow the Department to increase payments per animal offered to agents operating large game check-stations, potentially increasing revenue for those stores.  If the fee is increased from $1 to $5, check stations around the State may see an increase in reporting revenue of approximately $71,000 statewide. If the fee increases, the Department will also be required to reimburse authorized agents a larger amount of money from the General Fund. Effective Date:  Summary:The proposed changes explicitly prohibit making false statements in the reporting of wild game taken, allows the Commissioner of Fish and Wildlife to pay a fee of at least one dollar per report to agents at authorized reporting stations, and makes minor technical updates to the citations in the rule. The Department currently is authorized to reimburse authorized check-station agents one dollar per report; this reimbursement has not increased since 1971 and the proposed language is intended to give the Department the ability to increase the reimbursement amount, incentivizing the continued operation of check-stations.

SUMMARY:Hearing on Rule:26P018 -- VOSHA Review Board Rules of Procedure.
LOCATION:VOSHA Review Board, Room 315
DESCRIPTION: Location: VOSHA Review Board, Room 315 Address: 6 Baldwin Street City: Montpelier State: VT Title: VOSHA Review Board Rules of Procedure. Persons Affected: Vermont Department of Labor VOSHA Program(Complainant); and employers and employees, or their employee representatives, who contest said VOSHA Program’s citations for workplace safety violations(Respondent). Economic Impact: There is minimal economic impact. The Rules are being revised to update, through expansion and clarification, the Review Board Procedures. Effective Date:  Summary:These rules serve as a guide to the Review Board, its Clerk and Hearing Officers and parties regarding the orderly transaction of its proceedings regarding contested VOSHA Cases. There are two levels of review available to the parties through the Rules of Procedure. The first is through a hearing before a Hearing Officer. The second level is through a discretionary review by the Review Board, should a party (or the Review Board on its own motion) want to appeal the Hearing Officer's decision. There are two types of proceedings offered in the Rules: conventional and simplified. Simplified Proceedings offer employers (respondents) a less formal way to contest a citation (no answer needs to be filed and documents are exchanged freely without the use of discovery, generally). Rules regarding settlement and the parties' option of using Hearing Officers to mediate a settlement are covered in the Rules.
