Information About the Maryland Register and COMAR
MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is an official State publication published every
other week throughout the year. A cumulative index is published quarterly.
The Maryland Register is the temporary
supplement to the Code of Maryland Regulations. Any change to the text of
regulations published
in COMAR, whether by adoption, amendment, repeal, or emergency
action, must first be published in the Register.
The following information is also published regularly in the Register:
• Governor’s Executive Orders
• Attorney General’s Opinions in full text
• Open Meetings Compliance Board Opinions in full text
• State Ethics Commission Opinions in full text
• Court Rules
• District Court Administrative Memoranda
• Courts of Appeal Hearing Calendars
• Agency Hearing and Meeting Notices
• Synopses of Bills Introduced and Enacted
by the General Assembly
• Other documents considered to be in the public interest
CITATION TO THE
MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and date.
Example:
• 19:8 Md. R. 815—817 (April 17,
1992) refers to Volume 19, Issue 8, pages 815—817 of the Maryland Register
issued on April 17, 1992.
CODE OF MARYLAND
REGULATIONS (COMAR)
COMAR
is the official compilation of all regulations issued by agencies of the State
of Maryland. The Maryland Register is COMAR’s temporary supplement, printing
all changes to regulations as soon as they occur. At least once annually, the
changes to regulations printed in the Maryland Register are incorporated into
COMAR by means of permanent supplements.
CITATION TO COMAR
REGULATIONS
COMAR regulations are cited by title number, subtitle number, chapter
number, and regulation number. Example: COMAR 10.08.01.03 refers to Title 10,
Subtitle 08, Chapter 01, Regulation 03.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED
BY REFERENCE
Incorporation by reference is a legal device by which a document is made
part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While the text of an incorporated
document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of the incorporated document
are as fully enforceable as any other COMAR regulation. Each regulation that
proposes to incorporate a document is identified in the Maryland Register by an
Editor’s Note. The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended or
Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation incorporating a
document. Documents incorporated by reference are available for inspection in
various depository libraries located throughout the State and at the Division
of State Documents. These depositories are listed in the first issue of the
Maryland Register published each year. For further information, call
410-974-2486.
HOW TO RESEARCH REGULATIONS
An
Administrative History at the end of every COMAR chapter gives information
about past changes to regulations. To determine if there have been any
subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted,
Amended, or Repealed’’ which is found online at http://www.dsd.state.md.us/PDF/CumulativeTable.pdf.
This table lists the regulations in numerical order, by their COMAR number,
followed by the citation to the Maryland Register in which the change occurred.
The Maryland Register serves as a temporary supplement to COMAR, and the two
publications must always be used together. A Research Guide for Maryland
Regulations is available. For further information, call 410-260-3876.
SUBSCRIPTION
INFORMATION

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN
THE REGULATION-MAKING PROCESS
Maryland citizens and other interested
persons may participate in the process by which administrative regulations are
adopted, amended, or repealed, and may also initiate the process by which the
validity and applicability of regulations is determined. Listed below are some
of the ways in which citizens may participate (references are to State
Government Article (SG),
Annotated
Code of Maryland):
• By submitting data or views on proposed
regulations either orally or in writing, to the proposing agency (see
‘‘Opportunity for Public Comment’’ at the beginning of all regulations
appearing in the Proposed Action on Regulations section of the Maryland
Register). (See SG, §10-112)
• By petitioning an agency to adopt, amend,
or repeal regulations. The agency must respond to the petition. (See SG
§10-123)
• By petitioning an agency to issue a
declaratory ruling with respect to how any regulation, order, or statute
enforced by the agency applies. (SG, Title 10, Subtitle 3)
• By petitioning the circuit court for a
declaratory judgment
on
the validity of a regulation when it appears that the regulation interferes
with or impairs the legal rights or privileges of the petitioner. (SG, §10-125)
• By inspecting a certified copy of any
document filed with the Division of State Documents for publication in the
Maryland Register. (See SG, §7-213)

Licenses—Point Assignment, License Revocation and Suspension Schedule and
Criteria, and Hearing Procedure
Authority: Natural Resources Article, §4-206, Annotated Code of
Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[23-213-P]
The Secretary of Natural Resources proposes to amend Regulation .06 under COMAR 08.02.13 Fishing Licenses — Point Assignment, License Revocation
and Suspension Schedule and Criteria, and Hearing Procedure.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to
require individuals who have the Northern Snakehead License and the Blue
and Flathead Catfish Finfish Trotline License to submit monthly reports,
similar to the rest of the commercial licensees who harvest finfish from Maryland’s
tidal waters. These are new licenses created by the General Assembly that were
not included when the reporting regulations were first written because these
licenses did not exist. The Department generally requires commercial licensees
to submit monthly harvest reports to account for any activity taken under the
authorization of that license. Currently, all finfish harvesters with the
exception of Northern Snakehead License and Blue and Flathead Catfish Finfish
Trotline License holders are required to submit the Commercial Finfish Log on a
monthly basis. By adding these two license types to the Department’s reporting
regulation, all commercial finfish harvesters will be required to submit the
same type of information. Commercial harvest reports are an important source of
abundance data. Both the harvest information and the effort information (amount
of work it took to land the harvest) are important indicators and assist in the
Department’s management of the State’s fish resources.
Estimate of Economic Impact
The proposed action has no economic impact.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small
businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with
disabilities.

08.04.16 Special Uses Areas
Authority: Natural Resources Article, §§8-703 and 8-704, Annotated
Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[23-218-P]
The Secretary of Natural Resources proposes to amend Regulation .02 under COMAR 08.04.16 Special Uses Areas.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to
update the list of registered vessels that may request a DNR Ski
Sticker. The current regulation includes a list of qualified vessels, and
permits the Department to issue a DNR Ski Sticker to owners of a registered
qualified vessel. The Department is updating its list of qualified vessels with
the Approved Tournament Towboats list approved and developed by USA Water Ski
& Wake Sports. USA Water Ski & Wake Sports is the national governing
body of organized water skiing and wakeboarding in the United States. USA Water
Ski & Wake Sports is also a member of the International Waterski &
Wakeboard Federation (world governing body). The USA Water Ski and Wake Sport’s
towboat approval process includes performing a series of 11 tests and sub-tests
which include power and acceleration and centerline deviation. Additionally,
the USA Water Ski and Wake Sport Approved Tournament Towboats list is updated
annually. Thus, the Department is proposing to update its list of qualified
vessels to mirror this governing body’s list.
Estimate of Economic Impact
The proposed action has no economic impact.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small
businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with
disabilities.

businesses.

disabilities.
