been adopted in accordance with this section.
Generally, the Secretary must prepare a fiscal note for a proposed new rule or a
proposed change to a rule that has a substantial economic impact. The fiscal note must
be submitted with the rule to the Codifier of Rules. The Codifier of Rules will publish the
proposed rule and fiscal note on the Internet. The Secretary must accept written
comments on both the proposed rule and the fiscal note. However, if the proposed new
rule is submitted to the Codifier of Rules prior to December 31, 2012, the Secretary is
not required to prepare a fiscal note for a proposed new rule explaining the Secretary‟s
