The objections must include a written statement detailing the specific items in the notice of proposed agency action to which the person objects.

(b) Notice of agency action. (1) If, after its review, the department determines to impose the monetary penalty, it will send a written notice of agency action advising the person of the final determination at least 20 days before the action becomes effective.
