Pagination Requirements

Pagination Requirements. A. The submitting agency must include a page number at the bottom of each page beginning with the first page of rule text (not the filing notice or the Summary of Economic Impact Statement) and continuing without interruption throughout the entire submission. This includes any variance text that immediately follows. Variance text is a separate copy of a rule or set of rules that reflects the changes indicated using a strike through and underscore method. Do not re-set the pagination to page 1 for the first page of the variance text. Consecutive, uninterrupted pagination is needed to refer to differences between existing rule text and proposed rule text in written communication. For example, the Secretary of State’s Office decides to change Rules 1 – 5 of Chapter 30. The proposed text for these rules is ten (10) pages long. The variance text is fifteen (15) pages long. The Secretary of State’s Office would number this submission from page 1 through page 25 consecutively. Only final, effective rules are published in the Administrative Code. The variance text is only published in the Administrative Bulletin for the public’s benefit for comparative purposes. B. Page numbers should appear at the bottom center of the page. Do not paginate the filing notice page (SOS APA Form 1) or the Summary of Economic Impact Statement, if filed (SOS APA Form 002).
