ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
In the above-captioned matter, a regulatory hearing was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Monday,
February 2, 2004, at the Administrative Law Judge Division in Columbia, South Carolina.
ALJD Rule 45 requires an agency proposing a regulation to provide a statement, at least ten
days before the scheduled hearing date, confirming the need for a hearing on the regulation pursuant
to S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-110 (Supp. 2003) 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 Labor, Licensing and Regulation,
Board of Pilotage Commission, advised this tribunal, by letter filed January 21, 2004, 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
regulatory hearing in this matter.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the hearing on the proposed regulation scheduled for
February 2, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. is hereby CANCELED and this matter is DISMISSED.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
