REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 81, §§
248(c)(2) and 224A(a), (c), and the third sentence of
(b).

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this
section, the phrase "[i]n. addition to the powers and
duties set forth elsewhere in this article" is added
to clarify that this subsection is not an exclusive
list of the Administrator's powers and duties.

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the reference to
"county officials listed in § 3-103(d)(2)" is
substituted for the reference to "local officials",
for accuracy.
