ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-110(A)(3) (2005), a public hearing on an amendment to Regulation 117-307 & 307.1 proposed by the South Carolina Department of Revenue was scheduled in the above-captioned matter for 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, 2008, at the South Carolina Administrative Law Court in Columbia, South Carolina. This matter must now be dismissed.
ALC Rule 45 requires an agency proposing a regulation to provide a statement to the Court, at least ten days before the scheduled date of the public hearing, confirming the need for a hearing on the regulation pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-110 (2005) because a request for a hearing was made by twenty-five persons, a governmental subdivision or agency, or an association having not less than twenty-five members. In the instant matter, the South Carolina Department of Revenue advised this Court, by a letter dated December 7, 2007, that no comments or requests for a hearing were submitted to the Department regarding the proposed regulation identified above. Thus, pursuant to Section 1-23-110(A)(3), it is not necessary to hold a public hearing on the proposed regulation in this matter.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the hearing on the proposed regulation identified above scheduled for Wednesday, March 12, 2008, is hereby CANCELED and this matter is DISMISSED.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
