How to submit Notice of Intent to Adopt Rules – Wyoming

Common mistakes to avoid

• Treating "new" in Section 2 and "New" in Section 3 as the same thing; Section 2 covers only rules responding to a Wyoming legislative enactment, while Section 3 means a rule never previously created.
• Answering Yes in Section 2 for rules adopted in response to a federal mandate; the form says "new" does not include them.
• Listing more than six rule chapters in Section 3 without using the "Additional Rule Information" form.
• Checking both options where the form says to indicate one (1), as in Section 5 (meets or exceeds federal requirements) and Section 6 (meets or exceeds state requirements).
• Checking that the rules EXCEED minimum substantive statutory requirements without attaching the statement explaining the reason.
• Leaving out the Statement of Principal Reasons that the Section 7 checklist says is attached to the notice.
• Selecting a URL option in Section 4 or 5 without filling in the URL, or giving a Section 1 address that cannot receive comments.
• Leaving chapter numbers blank under the uniform rules options in Section 7 when the option asks you to provide them.
