A. Whenever a rule defines terms, enumerates provisions or items, or otherwise sets forth provisions of a rule in a numerical or alphabetical listing or sequence, and such provision, as promulgated, fails to establish or fails to maintain an existing alphabetical or numerical sequence, the office of the state register, in preparing the Louisiana Register and the Louisiana Administrative Code as provided for by R.S. 49:983, shall rearrange and renumber or redesignate the provisions to the extent necessary to place all of them in consistent order.

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, 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.

C. This requirement is in addition to any other authority granted to the office of the state register in the preparation of the Louisiana Register or the Louisiana Administrative Code, particularly by R.S. 49:983.
