The department may adopt a rule without publishing advance Notice of Intended Action in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin and without providing for written or oral public submissions prior to its adoption pursuant to Iowa Code section 17A.4(3)“a” when the statute so provides or with the approval of the administrative rules review committee.

After a standard rulemaking proceeding commenced pursuant to this subrule, the department may either readopt the rule it adopted without benefit of all usual procedures on the basis of subrule 7.10(1), or may take any other lawful action, including the amendment or repeal of the rule in question, with whatever further proceedings are appropriate.
