(2) In recognition that the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training has administrative responsibility for multiple regulatory programs and in order to effectively provide notice to interested persons in accordance with subsection (1) (b) of this rule, the Department will maintain an interested parties distribution list for each rule division. (3) A person, group, or entity that wants to be placed on a list to receive notices of adoption, amendment, or repeal of a permanent rule must make a request in writing or by electronic mail to the rules coordinator. The request must include either a mailing address or an electronic mail address where notices may be sent. (4) The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training may update the interested parties distribution lists described in section (2) of this rule annually by requesting persons to confirm that they wish to remain on the mailing list. If a person does not respond to a request for confirmation within 28 days of the date the Department sends the request, the Department will remove the person from the mailing list. Any person removed from the mailing list will be immediately returned to the mailing list upon request, provided that the person provides a mailing address or e-mailing address to which notice may be sent.
