607 Defensive Driving Course Discount (Automobiles and Motorcycles) [Formerly Regulation 37]

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER KAREN WELDIN STEWART hereby gives notice of proposed amended Department of Insurance Regulation 607 relating to Defensive Driving Course Discount (Automobiles and Motorcycles) [Formerly Regulation 37]. The docket number for this proposed AMENDED regulation is 2428.

Senate Bill 178 with Senate Amendment 1 of the 147th General Assembly transfers the authority to regulate Delaware’s state-approved motor vehicle accident prevention (defensive driving) courses from the Department of Insurance to the Division of Motor Vehicles, except for the regulatory authority over the insurance discount as required by the program, which will remain under the Department of Insurance. The Delaware Code authority for the change is 18 Del.C. §§311 and 2503; and 29 Del.C., Ch. 101.

The Department of Insurance does not plan to hold a public hearing on the proposed amended regulation. The proposed amended regulation appears below and can also be viewed at the Delaware Insurance Commissioner’s website at:

www.delawareinsurance.gov/departments/documents/ProposedRegs/ProposedRegs.shtml

Any person can file written comments, suggestions, briefs, and compilations of data or other materials concerning the proposed amendment.

PUBLIC NOTICE

3541 Atlantic Sharks

The purpose of this action is to adopt provisions consistent with Addenda II and III to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s (ASMFC) Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Coastal Sharks. The proposed action will maintain consistency between the federal (2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan as amended) and ASMFC management plans, preserve the historical distribution of smoothhound (Mustelus canis and Mustelis norrisi) landings, and protect hammerhead shark to maturity.

This action defines a smoothhound (colloquially referred to as smooth dogfish or sand sharks) complex. Although the smoothhound complex has not been assessed, NOAA Fisheries is developing a coastwide smoothhound quota. In anticipation of a coastwide quota, the ASMFC developed state allocations under Addendum II to preserve the historical distribution of smoothhound. The proposed action will also implement shark finning limits consistent with the Shark Conservation Act of 2010 and 7 Del.C. §928A.

Consistent with Addendum III, the proposed action adjusts the shark species groupings for management purposes. Most significantly, the proposed action groups scalloped (Sphyrna lewini), great (S. mokarran) and smooth (S. zygaena) hammerhead sharks into a single complex, as it is difficult to differentiate the species. A recent assessment of scalloped hammerhead sharks indicated that the species is overfished and overfishing is occurring. It was also determined that female scalloped hammerhead sharks reach maturity at 78 inches fork length (Hazin et al. 2001, NOAA Fisheries FEIS for Amendment 5a, pp. 2-19). Therefore, NOAA Fisheries changed the recreational size limit for all hammerhead sharks to 78 inches. The proposed action also separates the blacknose shark (Carcharhinus acronotus) from the small coastal shark complex.

Finally, the action proposes changes to the regulation that improve readability, but do not change regulatory intent.

The hearing record on the proposed changes to 3541 Atlantic Sharks will be open January 1, 2015. Individuals may submit written comments regarding the proposed changes via e-mail to Lisa.Vest@state.de.us or via the USPS to Lisa Vest, Hearing Officer, DNREC, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901 (302) 739-9042. A public hearing on the proposed amendment will be held on January 22, 2015 beginning at 6:00 PM in the DNREC Auditorium, located at the Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901.

The public hearing on the proposed amendments to DRGSW will be held on Monday, January 26, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. in the Richardson and Robbins Auditorium, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE.

Division of Professional Regulation

4100 Board of Home Inspectors

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Delaware Board of Home Inspectors, pursuant to 24 Del.C. §4106(a)(1), proposes to amend its rules and regulations. The proposed regulation changes decrease the number of supervised inspections a trainee inspector must complete prior to being eligible for full licensure and decreases the number of inspections an experienced applicant must complete to be eligible for licensure. The changes are being proposed in light of a recent statutory change that decreased the number of inspections endorsement candidates are required to complete to be eligible for licensure. The changes also eliminate INTERNACHI membership as a qualification for licensure as an experience applicant as the Board believes that INTERNACHI membership is not as strong an indicator of an applicant’s qualifications as ASHI and NAHI membership.

The Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed regulation change on February 10, 2015 at 9:00 a.m., Second Floor Conference Room B, Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Blvd., Dover, DE 19904. Written comments should be sent to Amanda McAtee, Administrative Specialist of the Delaware Board of Home Inspectors, Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Blvd., Dover, DE 19904.
