Municipal requests must be made, in writing, by the municipality’s chief executive or town council. A municipality’s request to the commissioner must provide the basis for why an adjustment is appropriate as well as all pertinent updated data inputs.
C.Authorization to commence a promulgation process shall not be granted by the commission unless it finds that:
1.the proposed adjustment is the result of the commissioner’s application of the statewide permit formula; or

D.All adjustments to fee schedules shall become effective beginning the first day of July following the date when the amendment to these regulations becomes final provided that commission may establish a different effective date if it is in the best interest of the State.
E.Every three (3) years, the commissioner may examine whether fee schedule adjustments are appropriate. Upon written request from the commissioner, municipalities shall, within thirty (30) business days of the request, provide the commissioner with updated data inputs in a format (i.e., Excel spreadsheet) that is satisfactory to the commissioner.

B.Requests for the extended transition period must be made in writing by the municipality’s chief executive or town council and received by the commissioner by June 1, 2018. Timely requests received by the commissioner will be forwarded to the commission for consideration.
C.No request shall be granted unless approved by the commission.
D.Any municipality whose request for an extended transition period is granted must submit a written status report to the commissioner by January 1, 2019.
