N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 135: Rules and regulations

§ 135. Rules and regulations. The commissioner is hereby authorized,

after public hearing, to adopt and promulgate such rules and regulations

to supplement and give full effect to the provisions of this article as

he may deem necessary, provided, that the commissioner may adopt and

promulgate, insofar as appropriate, without public hearing, any rules

and regulations promulgated under any federal act or acts or change or

amend the regulations promulgated hereunder so as to conform, insofar as

appropriate, to those promulgated under such federal act or acts. The

commissioner may, if he or she determines that the protection of the

consumers of the state is not impaired by such action, provide by

regulation for exemption from registration of small feed distributors

when he or she finds that such an exemption would avoid unnecessary

regulation and assist in the administration of the article without

impairing such article's purpose.
