    Notice of Intended Regulatory Action

    Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board of Housing and Community Development intends to consider amending 13VAC5-31, Virginia Amusement Device Regulations. The purpose of the proposed action is to update the regulation to incorporate by reference the newest available nationally recognized codes and standards. The standards for amusement devices are controlled by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). In conjunction with incorporating the newest available standards into the regulation, the entire regulation will be subject to review and change. The ASTM standards constitute the majority of the regulation and the various parts of the regulation must be coordinated with the use of those standards, which necessitates scrutiny of the entire regulation.

    This action is exempt from Article 2 of the Administrative Process Act under § 2.2-4406 A 12 of the Code of Virginia.

    The agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.
