64B8-41.001Fees

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To change licensure/renewal fees.

SUMMARY: Fees.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST 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 amendments reduce certain application and license renewal fees. Since fees are being reduced, the impact of the rule amendments will be to reduce costs to regulated entities and small businesses, and accordingly, neither a SERC nor legislative ratification is required.

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.
