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 The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended or Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation incorporating a document.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

For subscription forms for the Maryland Register and COMAR, see the back pages of the Maryland Register. Single issues of the Maryland Register are $15.00 per issue.

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)

Emergency Regulations

Under State Government Article, §10-111(b), Annotated Code of Maryland, an agency may petition the Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive, and Legislative Review (AELR), asking that the usual procedures for adopting regulations be set aside because emergency conditions exist. If the Committee approves the request, the regulations are given emergency status. Emergency status means that the regulations become effective immediately, or at a later time specified by the Committee. After the Committee has granted emergency status, the regulations are published in the next available issue of the Maryland Register. The approval of emergency status may be subject to one or more conditions, including a time limit. During the time the emergency status is in effect, the agency may adopt the regulations through the usual promulgation process. If the agency chooses not to adopt the regulations, the emergency status expires when the time limit on the emergency regulations ends. When emergency status expires, the text of the regulations reverts to its original language.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Subtitle 02 FISHERIES SERVICE

08.02.01 General

Authority: Natural Resources Article, §4-701, Annotated Code of Maryland

Notice of Proposed Action

[25-043-P]

The Secretary of Natural Resources proposes to amend Regulation .05 under COMAR 08.02.01 General.

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of this action is to update the commercial license targets. The proposed action modifies the authorization targets to reflect the number of tidal fish license conversions since April 15, 2019. The modification is necessary to accurately reflect the number of authorizations available.

Natural Resources Article, §4-701, Annotated Code of Maryland allows a licensee to convert (downgrade) their unlimited tidal fish license (UTFL) into its individual component authorizations and requires the Department to adjust all authorizations accordingly. Licensees who downgrade their UTFL may choose which license components of the UTFL they want to retain. Downgrading a UTFL decreases the UTFL target and increases the target of each license type that is included in a UTFL (resident fishing guide (FGR); unlimited finfish harvester (FIN); crab harvester 300 pot (CB3); clam harvester (CLM); oyster harvester (OYH); oyster dredge boat (ODB); and conch, cancer crab, turtle, lobster (CCTL)). The number and type of authorizations involved in a downgrade of a UTFL provide the basis for changes to the license authorization target levels.

The proposed action decreases the UTFL number by 16 and increases the number for FGR, FIN, CB3, CLM, OYH, ODB, and CCTL by16 each. The total number of UTFL downgrades includes: 11 from the 2019/2020 license year; 0 from the 2020/2021 license year; 2 from the 2021/2022 license year; 2 from the 2022/2023 license year; and 1 from the 2023/2024 license year. The downgrades have not been captured in previous regulation proposals and are correct as of January 15, 2025.

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.

Opportunity for Public Comment

Comments may be sent to License Targets, Regulatory Staff, Department of Natural Resources Fishing and Boating Services, 580 Taylor Avenue, E-4, Annapolis, MD 21401, or call 410-260-8300, or email to complete the comment form at https://dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/pages/regulations/changes.aspx#commlic or email fisheriespubliccomment.dnr@maryland.gov. Comments will be accepted through June 2, 2025. A public hearing has not been scheduled.

.05 Targets for the Number of Tidal Fish License Authorizations.

A. The targets for the number of tidal fish license authorizations issued by the Department are the number of authorizations issued between September 1, 1998, and March 31, 1999, including adjustments made annually according to specifications listed in §B of this regulation, listed by the following categories:

Abbreviation	Authorization	Number

Economic Impact on Small Businesses

The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small businesses. An analysis of this economic impact follows:

To the extent that dental providers are small businesses and are eligible to enroll in Maryland Medicaid to provide these services, providers are estimated to receive approximately $19.6 million in additional revenue.

Impact on Individuals with Disabilities

The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

Notice of Proposed Action

[25-075-P]

MARYLAND HEALTH CARE COMMISSION

Draft Noncontrolled Prescription Drug Dispenser Data Submission Manual

The Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) has drafted the Noncontrolled Prescription Drug Dispenser Data Submission Manual (dispenser manual) as required by COMAR 10.25.18, Health Information Exchanges: Privacy and Security of Protected Health Information. The regulations support the implementation of Chapter 296 (House Bill 1127), Public Health - State Designated Exchange - Health Data Utility (2022), which requires dispensers to submit information to the State-Designated health information exchange (HIE) after dispensing a noncontrolled prescription drug.

The purpose of this action is to solicit comments on the proposed draft dispenser manual which provides technical guidance to dispensers for reporting noncontrolled prescription drugs. The draft dispenser manual can be viewed on the Commission website here: https://mhcc.maryland.gov/mhcc/pages/hit/hit/documents/non_cds/non_cds_data_subm_manual.pdf.

Comments may be sent to the Maryland Health Care Commission, 4160 Patterson Avenue, Baltimore MD 21215, or email mhcc.noncds@maryland.gov. Comments will be accepted through May 22, 2025.

Summary

Health General Article §19-145 requires the State-Designated HIE to operate a Health Data Utility and mandates dispensers submit noncontrolled prescription drug dispense information to the State-Designated HIE. The State-Designated HIE will make the information available for purposes of treatment and care coordination of a patient, public health, and quality improvement.

COMAR 10.25.18, Health Information Exchanges: Privacy and Security of Protected Health Information requires MHCC to annually develop and approve a dispenser manual for reporting noncontrolled prescription drug information that aligns, to the extent possible, with Maryland Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). The manual must minimally specify the:

(a) Data that must be submitted to the State-Designated HIE and in what format

(b) Timeframe and frequency of data submission

(c) Electronic reporting specifications (e.g., encryption, file layout)

(d) Process for dispensers unable to submit data due to mechanical, electrical, or other technical failure

A multi-stakeholder approach guided iterative development of the dispenser manual. The MHCC collected feedback on informal drafts of the dispenser manual in summer 2024, fall 2024, and spring 2025. The final dispenser manual will be posted on mhcc.maryland.gov.
