A. In the case of all regulations, except those regulations exempted by &#xA7;
2.2-4002, 2.2-4006, or 2.2-4011, the proposed regulation and general notice of
opportunity for oral or written submittals as to that regulation shall be posted
on the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall and published in the Virginia Register of
Regulations in accordance with the provisions of subsection B of &#xA7;
2.2-4031. In addition, the agency may, in its discretion, (i) publish the notice
in any newspaper and (ii) publicize the notice through press releases and such
other media as will best serve the purpose and subject involved. The Register
and any newspaper publication shall be made at least 60 days in advance of the
last date prescribed in the notice for such submittals. All notices, written
submittals, and transcripts and summaries or notations of oral presentations, as
well as any agency action thereon, shall be matters of public record in the
custody of the agency.

B. If an agency wishes to change a proposed regulation before adopting it as a
final regulation, it may choose to publish a revised proposed regulation,
provided the latter is subject to a public comment period of at least 30
additional days and the agency complies in all other respects with this section.

C. In no event shall the failure to comply with the requirements of this section
be deemed mere harmless error for the purposes of &#xA7; 2.2-4027.
