RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

64B10-12.0001Fees

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Proposed rule will consolidate all fees in one rule, then unnecessary rules will be repealed.

SUMMARY: Consolidate fees.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The rule combines all fees into one location, which is expected to aid in clarity and comprehension. The Board expects this clarity to reduce overall costs; accordingly the Board finds costs will not exceed $1 million over 5 years.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
