A hearing on the “need and reasonableness” of the above proposed regulation was
scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 23, 2004, at the Administrative Law Court,
1205 Pendleton Street, Columbia, South Carolina.
ALC Rule 45 requires the agency to provide a statement, at least ten (10) days before the
scheduled hearing date, confirming the need for a hearing pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-110 (Supp.2003) on the basis that a request for a hearing was made by twenty-five (25) persons,
a governmental subdivision or agency, or an association having not less than twenty-five (25)
members.
By letter dated November 16, 2004, L. Lynn McLendon of the South Carolina
Department of Social Services informed the Administrative Law Court that no requests for a
hearing were submitted to the agency. Thus, a hearing is unnecessary in this matter.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the hearing scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on
November 23, 2004, is canceled and this matter is DISMISSED.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
