RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B5-2.017: Acceptable Variance of Examiners

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to delete unnecessary language.

SUMMARY: The proposed changes will delete unnecessary language.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST:

During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary and that these rule amendments will not require ratification by the Legislature. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. The Board has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business, or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within 1 year after implementation of the rule.

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

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 466.004(4), 466.006(5)(d) FS.

IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.

THE FULL TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE IS:

64B5-2.017 Acceptable Variance of Examiners.

(1) through (2) No change.

(3) Failure of an applicant in any clinical procedure may be documented on the grading sheet by the examiner. Documentation may be accomplished through the use of “comments” contained on the grade sheet. The “comments” section may contain any technical terms or charts that define, illustrate or otherwise explain the criteria utilized in grading a particular procedure. For the purpose of expedience and brevity in grading, appropriate “comments” may be noted by recording “comments” on an optical scan field contained on the grade sheet. On the clinical portion of the dental hygiene examination described in Rule 64B5-2.0135, F.A.C., the actual marking of the presence of errors for specific teeth shall be considered documentation. When there exists a discrepancy on the grade sheet between the handwritten grade and the grade penciled in on the optical scan field and the discrepancy cannot be resolved by an examination of the grade sheet, the handwritten grade shall be accepted as the intended grade.
