Request the adoption of this regulation be postponed to allow for an adequate public comment period. Affected stakeholders were not adequately notified of this upcoming action in a timely manner, therefore many unanswered questions about how this regulation will affect citizen monitoring programs across Virginia remain.

Fees associated with this regulation will severly impact citizen monitoring programs.Citizen monitoring groups do not have the resources to support additional expenses; they barely have enough financial resources or operate now.

I respectfully request the Department of General Services postpone the adoption of this regulation to allow for an adequate comment period.

Any consideration given this request will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
