Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-50j-40
Prior to submitting a petition for a declaratory ruling to the Council, the petitioner shall, where applicable, provide notice to each person other than the petitioner appearing of record as an owner of property which abuts the proposed primary or alternative sites of the proposed facility, each person appearing of record as an owner of the property or properties on which the primary or alternative proposed facility is to be located, and the appropriate municipal officials and government agencies. Proof of such notice shall be submitted with the petition for declaratory ruling. These notice requirements are applicable to proposed facilities that, by statute, are required to be approved by a declaratory ruling in lieu of a certificate under Section 16-50k of the Connecticut General Statutes, and to petitions for a declaratory ruling that the subject of the petition does not constitute a facility. The term "appropriate municipal officials and government agencies" means, in the case of a facility required to be approved by declaratory ruling, the same officials and agencies to be noticed in the application for a certificate under Section 16-50l of the Connecticut General Statutes. Petitioners seeking a declaratory ruling where the subject of the petition is not a facility, shall serve notice to the chief elected official of the municipality where the proposed project is located in whole or in part. Within 30 days after receipt of a petition for a declaratory ruling, the Council shall give notice of the petition to all persons to whom notice is required by any provision of law and to all persons who have requested notice of declaratory ruling petitions on the subject matter of the petition. The notice provided by the Council shall provide contact information for the Council, a timeline for public involvement and the date, place and time for any scheduled field review of the proposed project. The Council may receive and consider data, facts, arguments, and opinions from persons other than the persons requesting the ruling.
If the Council deems a hearing necessary or helpful in determining any issue concerning the request for a declaratory ruling, the Council shall schedule such hearing and give such notice thereof as shall be appropriate. The contested case provisions of Sections 16-50j-13 to 16-50j-34, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies shall govern the practice and procedure of the Council in any hearing concerning a declaratory ruling.
Within 60 days after receipt of a petition for a declaratory ruling, the Council in writing shall:
A copy of all rulings issued and any actions taken under subsection (c) of this section shall be promptly delivered to the petitioner and other parties and intervenors personally or by United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. A declaratory ruling shall contain the names of all parties and intervenors to the proceeding, the particular facts on which it is based, and the reasons for its conclusion.
