CHAPTER Ncr 300  NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM

 

REVISION NOTE:

 

Pursuant to 2017, 156:15, effective 7-1-17, the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources was established under RSA 12-A:1, and the Department of Resources and Economic Development was abolished Pursuant to 2017, 156:14, effective 7-1-17 references to the Department of Resources and Economic Development in RSA 217-A titled “New Hampshire Native Plant Protection” were changed to the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, thereby transferring authority under RSA 217-A to the new department. 

 

Pursuant to 2017, 156:49, effective 7-1-17, existing rules numbered with the tile “Res” were transferred to the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources or the new Department of Business Affairs, as applicable.  However, the former rules numbered Res 1101 through Res 1107 in Chapter Res 1100 on the Natural Heritage Program had last been filed under Document #9479, effective 6-1-09, and had expired 6-1-17.  The former rules Res 1108 titled “Natural Heritage Inventory” in Chapter Res 1100 had last been filed under Document #8386, effective 6-28-05, and had expired 6-28-13. The Department of Natural and Cultural Resources therefore renumbered the former Chapter Res 1100 as Ncr 1100 and adopted it as an interim rule under Document #12825, effective 7-10-19, which was scheduled to expire 1-6-20.

 

The Department subsequently readopted with amendment and renumbered Ncr 1108 as Ncr 312 in a new chapter Ncr 300 titled “Natural Heritage Program” under Document #12964, effective 1-1-20.  Ncr 1101-1107 expired 1-6-20.  The Department then adopted the former Ncr 1101 as Ncr 301, and adopted with changes the former Ncr 1102 through Ncr 1107 as Ncr 301 through Ncr 311, under Document #12980, effective 1-24-20.

 

            Document #12964 and Document #12980 replace all prior filings for rules in the former Res 1100 and Ncr 1100.  The prior filings include the following documents:

 

            Res 1101-1107

 

            #5927, effective 11-22-94, EXPIRED 11-22-00

            #7507, effective 6-21-01

PART Ncr 301  PURPOSE

 

          Ncr 301.01  Purpose.  The rules have been established to provide protective measures and requirements necessary for the survival of all species of native plants in the state, as well as to investigate and develop information pertaining thereto.  The rules implement, at the state level, programs created as a result of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, Public Law 93‑205, as amended.
