a m DUANE MORRIS GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES September 16, 2014 James M. Smith Fiona Wilmarth PA Independent Regulatory Review Commission 333 Market Street Harrisburg, PA 17101 IRRC 201 l SEP 17 1I 18 EMBARGOED MATERIAL Re: Proposed DOS Regulation #16-56 (IRRC #3012) Dear Mr. Smith and Ms. Wilmarth, As a Pennsylvania Association for Government Relations member, we fully support the comments made by our President, Gabreille Sedor. We continue to oppose the proposed increase from $200 to $400. This increase would make Pennsylvania s registration fee among the most expensive in the nation. As a lobbying organization we agree to the code of conduct which encourages high standards of personal and professional conduct among all lobbyists. We understand that the Lobbyist Disclosure Act under section 13A08(j) allows the Department to raise the fee to cover the costs of carrying out the act, however, we have not seen to date whether all expenses related to carrying out the act are truly necessary. We question whether the Department of State has the ability to minimize its own costs and overhead before passing on such a burdensome fee to the regulated community. Thank you for your time and ask that you consider the comments and in depth material submitted by the PAGR organization. Sincerely, i /1 I /f./ / - /V iyl4 c -, / Patricia A.
