Consensus Rule Making Determination This proposal merely repeals outdated and excessive regulations as set forth in Part 6160 of Title 9 NYCRR. The regulations relate to guidelines for funding crime prevention programs under the 1983 Neighborhood Preservation Crime Prevention Act (Executive Law §§ 846-A through 846-G). There is no current funding appropriated for use under the forego- ing statutes, nor has there been since at least 2009. The Division of Crimi- Rule MakingActivities nal Justice Services (DCJS) continues to support neighborhoods and crime prevention efforts through other appropriations. Specific programs include Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE), SNUG (guns spelled backwards), and Respond, Invest, Sustain, Empower (RISE), whose fund- ing allocations are based on clearly articulated factors, including crime statistics, community input, and other evidence-based factors. Given the ministerial nature and purpose of the proposal, DCJS has determined that no person is likely to object to the repeal of the rule.
