NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 37 No. 49, December 9, 2011 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

In response to comments by JAPC staff, the following corrections are made:

1) In the Notice of Proposed Rule (NPR) published on 12-9-11, in the section regarding the SERC and Legislative ratification, the phrase “Knowledge and experience of Department staff” is deleted. A SERC was prepared. The following summary of the SERC is provided: This rule will affect schools that offer courses to satisfy educational requirements for funeral director or embalmer licensure. There are 3 Florida schools that will be affected by the rule: Florida State College in Jacksonville; St. Petersburg College; and Miami-Dade College. The cost to the schools to obtain and fill out the form DFS-N1-2041 is estimated at approximately 30 minutes of school staff time. If school staff time is valued at $50 per hour, the estimated cost is approximately $25 per school, times 3 schools, equals $75 aggregate statewide cost to the schools per year. There is no application fee for the schools to apply for course approval. The 3 schools have reviewed the draft rule and offered no objections to same.

2) In paragraph 69K-100.035(5)(a), F.A.C., the reference to form “DFS-N1-” is replaced by “DFS-N1-2041.”
