Section R1-1-407. Authority Notes

If an agency requests that the specific or general authority for a Chapter, Subchapter, Article, or Part be published in its rules in the Code, the agency shall include an authority note under which the rules in that Chapter, Subchapter, Article, or Part were made. This note appears immediately below the Chapter, Subchapter, Article, or Part heading, as applicable, in the Chapter’s table of contents and specifies the statutes that the rules are implementing (the specific

authority) and the statutes that authorize the agency to do rulemak- ing (the general authority). An agency’s failure to include a statute or portion of a statute in the authority note does not negate the agency’s authority to make the rule.
