However, two of  the amendments that were made in 1997 were continued without modification, specifically the cross‑reference  added to section 528.7(c) and the clarifying amendment made to section 528.7(c)(1)(iii). Therefore, only these two amendments from the 1997 rule were subject to review in 2007, and every five years thereafter.  They were previously reviewed as part of the Department’s 2007 Rule Review published in the State Register on January 3, 2007.  As a result of that review, a Rule Review notice indicating that these two amendments would be continued without modification was published in the State Register on August 1, 2007.

As a result of that review of the 1997 rule, a Rule Review notice indicating that it would be continued without modification was published in the State Register on August 21, 2002.  The rule was again reviewed as part of the Department’s 2007 Rule Review published in the State Register on January 3, 2007.  As a result of that review of the 1997 rule, amendments to sections 533.3(d) and (g) of the regulations were adopted to delete obsolete information and to better reflect the current policies of the Department concerning the administration of its annual-filing program. (See TAF-40-07-00004-A; filed December 11, 2007; published December 26, 2007; effective December 26, 2007.)
