Section 209.335 - Publication
(a) Section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act requires publication of general notice of proposed rule making in the FEDERAL REGISTER (unless all persons subject thereto are named and either personally served or otherwise have actual notice thereof in accordance with law), except to the extent that there is involved:

(b) General notice of proposed rule making published in accordance with the above will include:
(1) A statement of the time, place, and nature of public rule making proceedings;
(2) reference to the authority under which the rule is proposed; and
