Data, views or arguments may be submitted to:
Same as above.

Consensus Rule Making Determination
The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) has determined that no person is likely to object to the proposed action. The amendment of this section removes the reference to functions that are no longer operational at a correctional facility and are no longer applicable to any person. See SAPA Section 102(11)(a).
The Department’s authority resides in section 70 of Correction Law, which mandates that each correctional facility must be designated in the rules and regulations of the Department and assigns the Commissioner the duty to classify each facility with respect to the type of security maintained and the function as specified. See Correction Law § 70(6).
Job Impact Statement
A job impact statement is not submitted because this proposed rulemaking will merely amend the regulation to be consistent with the current functions of Taconic Correctional Facility; therefore it has no adverse impact on jobs or employment opportunities.
