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 an essential tool for explaining when an employer will be eligible for relief of charges and when benefit costs can be charged to social costs for contributory employers. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
