Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The rule is essential to explain to employers when and how to make the required contribution payments. It also requires an employer to notify the Department of certain changes, like death of an owner, and any receivership proceedings. The rule allows for extensions in some circumstances and adjustments or refunds in the event of an overpayment. The rule is essential to explain the process for filing contributions.
