§ 9.301. Unpublished statements of policy adopted prior to January 1, 1985.

 (a)  If the Joint Committee determines that it is in the public interest to codify statements of policy of an agency adopted by the agency prior to January 1, 1985, but not previously published, it may, upon the request of the agency, include the statements of policy within the next periodic supplement of the Code published under §  3.3 (relating to periodic supplementation of the Code; index), without publication of the statement of policy within the Bulletin under §  3.13 (relating to contents of Bulletin). Direct codification will occur only if an official synopsis of the document, prepared by the agency and approved by the Bureau, is published in the Bulletin as provided by §  3.31 (relating to publication of official synopsis in lieu of full text) following the deposit of the statements of policy with the Bureau under §  13.11 (relating to deposit of original and one copy required).

 (b)  Prior to the submission of a statement of policy to the Bureau for codification under this section, the agency shall adopt by regulation a general plan for the dissemination of public information. The agency plan shall indicate the classes or categories of agency documents to be promulgated as administrative regulations, statements of policy, management directives and other methods of publication or distribution.

 (c)  A statement of policy codified under this section shall be deposited with and filed by the Bureau on or prior to December 31, 1987.

§ 9.302. Statements of policy adopted after January 1, 1985.

 Statements of policy which are submitted by an agency to the Bureau and which are adopted by an agency after January 1, 1985, are subject to procedures for filing and publication in the Bulletin and Code as provided by Chapter 13 (relating to preparation and transmittal of documents generally).

§ 9.303. Format of statements of policy.

 Statements of policy which are permanent and general in nature and are submitted to the Bureau for codification shall be in a form and format, as approved by the Bureau, which conforms to the requirements of this chapter for the codification of documents.
