Section 102.502  Challenge to Agency Certification

a)         If any person wishes to challenge the Agency's certification that a proposed rule is a required rule, that person must file an objection to that certification within 21 days after the date of the Board's order accepting a proposal for hearing.  The objection must state the reasons that the objector believes that the proposed rule is not a required rule, and must include all arguments that the objector wishes the Board to consider.  A copy of the objection must be served upon the Agency, the Attorney General's Office, and DNR.

b)         The Agency may file a response to any objection within 14 days after the service of that objection.  No reply by the objector will be allowed, unless the Board orders otherwise to avoid material prejudice.

c)         No hearing will be held on any objection filed under this Section.
