3.  The Secretary of State was unable to withdraw the published notice prior to publishing due to technical requirements in the publishing of MAR.  The Secretary of State originally intended to publish an Amended Notice to include statutorily required information pertaining to the proposed rules.  However, the Secretary of State determined the agency would like additional time to consider the proposed rules. Therefore, the Secretary of State is not adopting the previously proposed changes.
