NOTICE OF CORRECTION
Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 42 No. 21, February 2, 2016 issue of the Florida Administrative Register.
The Summary of Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs and Legislative Ratification will be corrected to read: SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The agency has determined that this rule amendment will have an adverse impact on small business but will not likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. The agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based upon the statement of estimated regulatory costs. A SERC has been prepared by the agency. The following is a summary of the SERC:
It is unlikely that the rule amendment will have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
It is unlikely that the rule amendment will have an adverse impact on business competiveness, including the ability of persons doing business in the state to compete with persons doing business in other states or domestic markets, productivity, or innovation in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
It is unlikely that the rule amendment will increase regulatory costs, including any transactional costs, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
The rule amendment would only affect those dentists who hold an active pediatric conscious sedation permit. As of November 5, 2015, 180 dentists in the state hold that permit.
The rule amendment will not impose any additional costs to the agency.
The rule amendment would require every dentist that holds the pediatric conscious sedation permit to obtain additional equipment, specifically a capnograph. It is estimated that the cost for a capnograph ranges between $700 and $1,000.
The 180 dentists who hold a pediatric conscious sedation permit would spend an estimated $850 for a capnograph which would total $153,000. The dentists would pay sales tax on this equipment for a total of $9,180.00, based upon Florida’s 6% tax rate. Therefore the total impact of the rule amendment on small business within one year would be approximately $162,180.00. Because the equipment is not likely to be replaced over the next five years, the impact to small business over the next five years would be approximately the same as the amount in the first year, $162,180.00.
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.
This correction does not affect the substance of the rule as it appeared in the Florida Administrative Register as outlined above.
THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: Jennifer Wenhold, Executive Director, Board of Dentistry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258
