A. In preparing the Louisiana Register or the Louisiana Administrative Code as provided for in R.S. 49:981, the office of the state register shall not alter the sense, meaning, or effect of any rule properly promulgated under the Administrative Procedure Act, but it may:

(1) Renumber and rearrange sections or parts of sections.

(2) Transfer sections or divide sections so as to give to distinct subject matters a separate section number, but without changing the meaning.

(3) Insert or change the wording of headnotes.

(4) Change reference numbers to agree with renumbered parts, chapters, or sections.

(5) Substitute the proper section, chapter, or part number for the terms "this part", "the preceding section", and the like.

(6) Strike out figures where they are merely a repetition of written words and vice-versa.

(7) Change capitalization for the purpose of uniformity.

(8) Correct manifest typographical and grammatical errors.

(9) Make any other purely formal or clerical changes in keeping with the purpose of the revision.

B. The office of the state register shall notify the secretary or administrative officer charged with promulgation of the rule prior to making any proposed revision authorized by this Section. If no written disapproval of the secretary or administrative officer, or his designee, of the proposed revision is received by the office of the state register within seven days after the secretary or administrative officer receives the notice, the office of the state register shall proceed with the revision.
