59C-1.008: Certificate of Need Application Procedures

NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 37 No. 43, October 28, 2011 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

The Notice of Proposed Rule, as advertised on October 28, 2011, did not fully address information that should have been included under the 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. Based on the fact that the updates to the proposed rule simply facilitates the addition of the 2012 and 2013 batching calendar and deletes programs that are no longer regulated by the CON unit due to statutory changes, the Agency has determined that no SERC is required and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S. is required.

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

The person to be contacted regarding the proposed rule and a copy of the proposed rule, as advertised on October 28, 2011, was incomplete and should have included: Marisol Novak, Certificate of Need, 2727 Mahan Drive, Mail Stop 28, Building 1, Tallahassee, Florida 32308, [phone].
